DU does welcome those who supported Sanders and O'Malley in the primary oberliner Aug 2017 #18

Unfortunately it doesn't seem that way, elleng Aug 2017 #29

I hate to put it this way, but that's sorta Feelz over Realz. emulatorloo Aug 2017 #37

"there's a huge amount of hostility around here" left-of-center2012 Aug 2017 #63

Yes, a lot of people are trying to place blame. elleng Aug 2017 #89

natural process, there are deep divisions, and radius777 Aug 2017 #105

The hostility occurs when there is outright attacks against Dems and the Dem party Fla Dem Aug 2017 #68

A lot of short memories around here. Many Sanders supporters were so hostile... brush Aug 2017 #103

Yes, sadly I think we all notice it. JoeOtterbein Aug 2017 #128

From your keyboard to the jurors' screens. Jim Lane Aug 2017 #101

Thank you! zentrum Aug 2017 #61

It's not a matter of who they supported in the primary. It's who they voted for in the GE. Fla Dem Aug 2017 #64

+100000 as well Hulk Aug 2017 #81

If Sen. Sanders supporters voted for Hillary...fine...but if they didn't then no. Demsrule86 Aug 2017 #87

Not if they continue to beat the drum against Hillary and the Democratic party nini Aug 2017 #96

Yes, that's not okay, and that's where the line gets drawn. eom sprinkleeninow Aug 2017 #134

Agree. ATL Ebony Aug 2017 #104

Voting for Trump pretty much shows a person's true colors. THIS IS WHAT THEY VOTED FOR: MrsCoffee Aug 2017 #116

Thanks. I'm up on current events so I'm well aware of Trump stupidity and antics. ATL Ebony Aug 2017 #118

Then you should understand the reluctance to welcome people who voted for that. MrsCoffee Aug 2017 #119

I understand that winning involves voters and turning them away or ignoring them ATL Ebony Aug 2017 #120

Do you understand fallout87 Aug 2017 #130

Do you understand that if we don't secure our voting process it doesn't even matter? MrsCoffee Aug 2017 #144

I haven't seen it, no. fallout87 Aug 2017 #145

DU is not the Democratic Party GulfCoast66 Aug 2017 #131

Sheesh, how many times does this need to be sprinkleeninow Aug 2017 #136

They ARE welcomed here by the administration - Ms. Toad Aug 2017 #139

Why would Sanders and Omalley supporters need a welcome? SharonClark Aug 2017 #108

If they are willing to vote Democratic hell yeah n/t Bradshaw3 Aug 2017 #3

What about the BoB'ers who knew damn well what not voting for Hilalry meant? JoeStuckInOH Aug 2017 #4

EVERYONE does, that's the idea, elleng Aug 2017 #6

And Hillary too? Control-Z Aug 2017 #20

*Crickets* lunamagica Aug 2017 #27

Back from where? elleng Aug 2017 #30

Let me make this more direct. Control-Z Aug 2017 #54

Certainly, and I never doubted it. elleng Aug 2017 #58

They're welcome to join the party and make contributions. And to read DU. Not to bettyellen Aug 2017 #23

There sure has been and is a lot of mean-spiritedness around here. elleng Aug 2017 #31

There were horrible attacks toward hard working and committed Dems here much of last year- until bettyellen Aug 2017 #44

I am mean spirited and mad as hell at people who claim to be progressives Eliot Rosewater Aug 2017 #78

The act of not welcoming people who sabotaged the Democratic efforts is not mean-spiritedness. Squinch Aug 2017 #113

Well said! Metatron Aug 2017 #125

+1000 ATL Ebony Aug 2017 #106

Yes, and THANK you, ATL Ebony. elleng Aug 2017 #107

Yes!!!! Arazi Aug 2017 #53

They get a very warm welcome BainsBane Aug 2017 #65

+1 Yeah & What about the ones now rejecting thier Trump vote but who STILL hate Hillary ?? lunasun Aug 2017 #93

Not sure people's feelings on hillary matter much anymore (except as a litmus test). JoeStuckInOH Aug 2017 #114

Just figure if they fell for all that and still don't see it as propaganda they will be hooked again lunasun Aug 2017 #115

Do you, now? And just where are these "huge opportunities" for the converted morons? WinkyDink Aug 2017 #7

Who better? marybourg Aug 2017 #38

I think you're right. Beartracks Aug 2017 #42

Thank you. Well stated. nt marybourg Aug 2017 #45

How do you teach someone to not vote for a demonstrated bigot, misogynist, racist mocker LuvLoogie Aug 2017 #52

Good answer ! lunasun Aug 2017 #92

You're correct GaryCnf Aug 2017 #14

Yes, IF we are all moving forward. elleng Aug 2017 #32

Skinner disagrees with you obamanut2012 Aug 2017 #15

Redemption is not possible? tymorial Aug 2017 #26

Actually, he said virtually the same thing the OP said. Ms. Toad Aug 2017 #141

I didn't read Skinner's statement as an absolute, merely a sentiment implying support of the Democra LanternWaste Aug 2017 #16

Same here. I think the word 'welcome' is key leftstreet Aug 2017 #19

this obamanut2012 Aug 2017 #22

Well this was his original statement which I think was rather clear: seaglass Aug 2017 #95

But this is his most recent statement. Ms. Toad Aug 2017 #140

Yeah noticed a few super-literal replies in that thread, along the lines of emulatorloo Aug 2017 #48

NO it was absolute if we are talking about the same post. Demsrule86 Aug 2017 #88

Sure, if they did wake up BainsBane Aug 2017 #21

Yes, both of them. haveahart Aug 2017 #25

You mean like all those rust belt guys who were so concerned with economics? You crack me up! Squinch Aug 2017 #28

Yes the guys who called Barack and Hillary dirty Republicans ucrdem Aug 2017 #35

The people who heard him calling Mexicans rapists and murderers solely because they were Squinch Aug 2017 #36

I'm guessing that their support for Kamala Harris would be underwhelming. ucrdem Aug 2017 #46

not to mention his going after Meryl Streep... CTyankee Aug 2017 #57

yea, sure Afromania Aug 2017 #33

It's worth reflecting on the actual definition of "welcome" jberryhill Aug 2017 #39
