I saw long ago that they'd painted themselves into an ideological corner, where if they believe even half of the vile things they say about Hillary they will never be able to vote for her.

They demand that everyone explain themselves and explain Hillary, but it's always in context of claims she is criminal and corrupt, and they brush off every attempt to inform. As a consequence, I know the most vocal of the BS supporters here will not be there for us in November at all, and I for one have stopped trying to inform or have a dialog.

Stop going there and stop caring what they say. In the overall picture of things, we are all just posters on a Dem message board. Once Hillary is our nominee, most of them will probably leave.

Terms of Service:

Vote for Democrats.
Winning elections is important — therefore, advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground. But that does not mean that DU members are required to always be completely supportive of Democrats. During the ups-and-downs of politics and policy-making, it is perfectly normal to have mixed feelings about the Democratic officials we worked hard to help elect. When we are not in the heat of election season, members are permitted to post strong criticism or disappointment with our Democratic elected officials, or to express ambivalence about voting for them. In Democratic primaries, members may support whomever they choose. But when general election season begins, DU members must support Democratic nominees (EXCEPT in rare cases where a non-Democrat is most likely to defeat the conservative alternative, or where there is no possibility of splitting the liberal vote and inadvertently throwing the election to the conservative alternative). For presidential contests, election season begins when both major-party nominees become clear. For non-presidential contests, election season begins on Labor Day. Everyone here on DU needs to work together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of American government. If you are bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for our candidates during election season, we'll assume you are rooting for the other side.
