One group of supporters gangs up on another group of supporters as if we are their enemies. Not sure what the point is of that. It certainly doesn't work to convince anyone of anything.

England or Canada or somewhere.

This hatred against Clinton supporters has made me really despair for this country.

I read DU. I support Hillary. I post things on Facebook about her ideas, her plans. I don't post here much anymore because of the toxic environment on other pages. It shakes me to know there are people calling themselves democrats who are SOOO much like those in the Teaparty. Supporting your candidate and telling why is one thing. Personal attacks on Hillary and her supporters is quite another.

Back to why I support Hillary.
Besides her experience in all areas, I believe another great strength is that she has actual plans. She isn't just telling what she'd like to change, she has an idea of how she'd go about it. She wants an uplift for ALL Americans. Her college plan makes sense. She will try to work with reasonable Senators and Representatives. She has an eye witness knowledge of foreign policy. She wants gun legislation that provides safety, yet allows those who can handle guns without shooting children, wives, neighbors to have a gun. She was trying to forge a health care plan years ago and will work to that end. And she has always, always worked toward women's rights. Yes, I support Hillary. I like Bernie and OMalley, too. But Hillary is out in front of them on many issues.

This place is not at all representative of the democratic party as a whole so I'm not worried.

I sense that, grasping at straws, touting online polls, and 'where are HRC supporters? 'cuz they aint online!' "DU you is 90% for Sanders whats your problem?"

I know Skinner and admins are cool, but when you are personally insulted in post after post that are allowed to stand because any alert would not survive a jury....

There may have been an unpleasant precedent set with the old "used car " fiasco....what happens at DU when HRC becomes the nominee and eventually POTUS? Sure some (not most) "feel the Berners" will come aboard. But the way HRC and her supporters are vilified here today leads me to believe those true believers will be falling on their swords all over the place. The rest will be sharpening their swords and continue to attack HRC.

time and nothing's done about it. When this site was created it was SOP that there would be no personal attacks.

Well that changed, didn't it.. when 90% berners took over the board and the jury pools.. "personal insults" are all they know.

I've been around for a long time and actually decided I have better things to do than even read their same ol crap different day, ad nauseam year after year.

That's all I'll say.. you never know who's lurking waiting to pounce. LOL
