Wow. Today we are seeing a Who's Who of Hillary Haters

Getting in their last shots of vitriol, venom and stinking thinking. I was thinking about coming up with a top ten. Can anyone tell me if that's a violation of TOS? Tho I'm sure they would wear it like a badge of honor when they migrate to Jackshit whatever it is. We all know who they are.

And pretty sure there wouldn't be much point. I've assumed for a while now that a few - perhaps many - of them were never Sanders supporters in the first place and are just trolls trying to raise hell. The sad thing is that a lot of people who should probably know better hopped on the bandwagon every time the few (many?) trolls posted obvious nonsense.

and I asked Skinner and haven't got an answer back yet, will the Jackshit site be considered a Democratic and Clinton hate site since it is a pro Sanders forum in name only and is 5% sanders, 95% hate Democrats. Will it fall into the do not link to this site rule or will the Admins let those here post to and from it and let the trolls tell people to go there to punish DU for supporting the Democratically chosen candidate. I really want to know.





Clinton - 2016 and beyond!

to be the anti-DU and should be treated accordingly. After reading a few threads, in particular the Hillary nickname thread, I don't see many of them bringing anything of substance to DU during the GE.

What I find amusing is that they're heading off to their echo chamber because they think DU, which has dozens of forums other than GDP, is too echo-chambery. Makes a lot of sense.

In 12 years I think I only used the ignore feature a maximum of 3 times, probably 8 years ago. That list was empty as of last weekend, when by every measure, real or imagined, Hillary had secured the nomination. I used reasonable criteria in determining whether someone should end up on that list:

1. wholly unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud
2. wholly unsubstantiated claims of vote rigging or other nefarious conspiracies
3. indictment "concern"
4. rehash of 25 years of rEpublican smears against Hillary
5. ridiculous claims of Bernie's "elect-ability" in the GE

That list was up to 333 members as of yesterday afternoon...but we're the ones sowing discord among the ranks of otherwise "committed" Democrats.

Them for sure. It's been like whack-a-mole around here. And I do believe that most of them were not voting Democratic anyway. More like outboard motors in a cesspool.

I guess I was hoping that the numbers wouldn't be that high. There's a core group of usual suspects that post on nearly every goofy thread, but it's kind of disturbing that so many more are following along.

"we're the ones sowing discord among the ranks of otherwise "committed" Democrats."

Well, projection is kind of their thing.

We all know what the deal is. They all want to get their digs and snipes in, before actual RULES come into play. It just shows immaturity for this last bit of nastiness to even be happening, IMO.

It's hard to get too upset with people who have lost so badly and are desperately hanging on to a leader who keeps playing them like an obsessive game of Freecell.

Honestly, I predict miserable failure in the "Big Unification Experiment". My plan is to stick to Boosting Hillary and trashing Donald when I'm here. Ignoring Bernie should get easier every day because Hillary and the media will be ignoring him too.

I just don't think there are enough Democrats to keep this thing going here.
