This thread is a safe place for Hillary supporters who are starting to Feel the Bern - NO JUDGEMENT!

[reformist2]

I know there have got to be more than a few of you who are thinking about switching sides.... This is a place where you can discuss your feelings, but I want to create an atmosphere of love, acceptance, and no judgement!!

1. not sure there's a need for this kind of condescending horseshit...

...we're better than that, after all

[reformist2]

3. It's not condescending at all. People change their minds all the time, and I respect that.

Not everyone does, however, that's why I wanted to carve out a little safe place on DU where people could share their feelings about this.

6. I dunno, mate, the message is capable of being misconstrued.

After all the premature grave dancing and champagne popping I've seen tonight alone, you can understand why I got the wrong idea.

[ucrdem]

2. I thought we were on the same side.

So which side is Bernie on?

[Dawson Leery]

4. I never felt the "bam" in 2008 and will never feel the "bern" either.

Only real Democrats will be getting my support.

[Motown_Johnny]

21. So Hillary is wrapping herself in the legacy of someone who is not a "Real Democrat"?

Can you understand how crazy your post sounds???

7. Actually my mind has been the same for awhile now

I'm a Hillary supporter because I think she's probably going to win. It's that simple. But I've got nothing but respect and love for Bernie Sanders and what he's been able to accomplish. I don't see why we have to be at each other's throats. I personally like both of them and would be happy to have either one as president for different reasons. Hillary because she's got the experience and the connections. Bernie because he's the type of guy that for once, would kick some ass for the little folks.

If Bernie does well, then when the primary train rolls around to California, then maybe I'll vote for him. If not, Hillary. And I'll be happy with either of them.

9. They can post on any given thread in the Sanders group if they are so inclined.

I don't think they need a thread in GDP.

[murielm99]

18. I am a Hillary supporter.

I will post anywhere I please on this site, except the Sanders room. I have no reason to go there.

[Gore1FL]

22. Chances are you are not a Hillary supporter inclined to change support Sanders, then.

That was the OP's defined population for the presumed scope of the post. That was the group I referred to.

[aikoaiko]

10. I was once a Hillary supporter (really a default supporter) and doubted Bernie could lead.

I used to question Manny about Bernie's ability to develop followship -- like Kucinich.

[VulgarPoet]

12. Same, and then I researched donors and voting records.

Nearly vomited that I got excited over just hearing the name "Clinton" again... Eurgh. I realized what Pavlov's dog must've felt like.

[RobertEarl]

11. Nice try, reformist

But this is a quote from and anti-Bernie poster earlier this evening and I think it speaks for way too many here;

""The people with all the power, with the influence and money who support the democratic party right now will leave before they would support a candidate like Sanders""

[ProudToBeLiberal]

13. I am feeling the bern. What should I do guys. I am a bit scared to tell you the truth. Nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. In my wayward youth I felt the burn and ended up at the public health clinic.

Two weeks of penicillin and I was good as new.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

17. Ty , I am no longer feeling the bern. I am cured. Hallelujah. Nt

[quickesst]

14. I believe...

... this is an end around run on a nasty little thread that was started and locked earlier. Didn't have the juice to go up the middle and was stopped dead in it's tracks. Loss of down, no gain, and a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. I really don't think you'll gain much yardage on this one either. Hillary supporters are pretty damn good at reading offenses.

TEAM CLINTON- 2016
TEAM BERNIE- 0

[Bleacher Creature]

15. I think they make a cream for that problem.

Politically, however, I'll pass.

[MrChuck]

20. So much for a safe space.

And they say Bernie supporters are mean.

[MeNMyVolt]

23. You just don't get it.

I know, you're probably young and full of vigor, but a lot of us are done with SBS. He was OK a year ago, but now we've had it with "the Bern". I think his supporters ruined it for him.

[Kentonio]

25. Yet his poll numbers continue to soar..

[CoffeeCat]

26. And Clinton's are eroding (nt)

[Beacool]

24. You may want to get an ointment for that rash.

BTW kid, are you even old enough to vote?
