2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Has anyone flipped who they are supporting due to our "discussion" here on DU? [View all]Bernin4U
(812 posts)164. Sorry, maybe I missed?
Is there more to it than the idea that they should be responsible (or not) for the actions of their customers' customers?
Did not passing the bill make them exempt? (There was another bill in place it would over ride?)
Giving them exemption does not make sense, but holding them responsible definitely does not. They should be in the same boat as everyone else.
That said, I do have a big problem with our current system of anyone can sue anyone for anything. Especially considering how juries can be tailored to have the collective mental capacity of preschoolers.

Long after the Scandinavians, yes. But, they were not brutal to the people they found here.

I wished it had not been hidden. I do think if we make such serious charges...

Not me, I was raised by an opinionated black woman who worked for my moms aunt.

Is it possible to dislike an AA individual without it being racist? Do you like Ben Carson?

Accusing someone of stalking when info is readily available is pretty shitty. She can easily

You are making it easier to encourage more potential psychos to stalk her (on and off DU)...

Thank you. More sane Bernie supporters need to speak up about this kind of crap. Nt

That sounds fair. Going for an effective politician. One that can win in your view.

Several of DU's most conservative posters *claim* to have switched from Bernie to Hillary.

Still some out there faux-ing support for Bernie. Some on this very thread, in fact.

The contrast between Bernie and Hillary is so profound, it wouldn't make sense to switch.

I was a default HRC supporter; thought Bernie was a Kucinich; that Manny & Willy were nuts.

I like Sanders a lot less than I did at the outset--solely because of the behavior

So you like Sanders but are willing to switch because of things people who claim to support him say?

Trashing Bernie because of disliking Bernie supporters is sooooooooo 7th grade.

Nope. Not a bit. The more you attack and ridicule Clinton, the more I think we need her.
