Post your blaming thread finds here.

1. Why would someone post that? Ugh

It's not helpful, sorry to read that Kali.

[Kalidurga]

3. Not all Democrats believe in democracy apparantly

2. No thanks, I'll pass.

4. So you pick a meta post in hopes to extrapolate that this applies to all Clinton supporters.

Sorry, you lose. It doesn't, and this comment from a Clinton supporter says it best:

I won't go into the blame game that has filled up threads for some time now on DU against Clinton and her supporters, because that only feeds into your flame bait.

5. What did I lose?

Show me where I said all Clinton supporters.

7. Agreed it is not explicitly stated, but could be implied. Of course we are all free to pursue our

views, but in my view it would be more productive to push the continued fight for your candidate, and for the ideals of your candidate instead choosing to focus on the "gloating" by some of your opponents supporters.

GD reminds me of a story used to describe the situation middle east:

It is the story of a frog and scorpion who were trying to cross a river.

The scorpion couldn't swim and the frog was lost, so the scorpion proposed a deal: Give me a ride on your back and I'll show you the way.

The frog agreed and the trip went fine until they got to the middle of the river and the scorpion stung the frog. As they were sinking, the frog asked in his dying breath, "why would you do that?"

The scorpion replied, "because it is the Middle East."

Of course, I would have changed the ending in this case as the following:

"because it is the General Discussion rimary forum"

8. You are also right, I should not have said your point about some Clinton supporters gloating was a

losing view point. I apologize for that, but I do not think it is very productive, and is flame bait

6. No one is asking Bernie to drop out

From now on, I'd love to see the desperate negative threads about Hillary picked up on RW sites. That makes the hopelessness palpable.

9. You guys are good...

at reading invisible words and invisible intentions. And writing about things that don't exist. I hope you are a writer by trade, because you do a bang up job on creating fiction.

10. Here's one, by a long time Sanders supporter even

11. IF YOU STAY HOME IT WILL BE YOUR FAULT

LOL they keep saying that. I myself have no intention of staying home. In a couple of days I join with some anti-war protesters and I will see how it goes from there.

12. It's funny how the "fringe" left suddenly becomes all powerful on election day.

If the usual Centrist/Moderate/not-as-bad/lesser-of-two-evils candidate loses the Left is blamed for the loss.

McGovern and the Left were blamed for McGovern's loss. The moderates who refused to vote for him are blameless.

Whereas, when Gore lost, Gore and the moderates weren't blamed but the Left was.

13. Another one here

14. The DNC is going full on fear-mongering.

We may not like it, but they're going to scare the hell out of us so we'll vote for Hillary.

I am remembering reading about a phone call Bill Clinton made to Donald Trump, suggesting that he run for president.....

[Kalidurga]

15. They do it because it works.

We can see the results in the number of delegates Hillary has despite most people saying she is not trustworthy.

[Avalux]

16. Exactly right!

I wish people would wake up to this....we can't change it unless enough do.

[Kalidurga]

17. We are odd people

I was looking at a chart of the traits of different supporters. Our people, those that support Bernie are fearless.

[Avalux]

18. Not a surprise.

The more I think about it, makes perfect sense. Personally - I've lost everything and survived, and I'll be damned if I'm going to be manipulated by fear. I'm older though....I think millenials are fearless because they believe they won't have a future without a 'revolution'.

Our people cannot stop fighting even if Bernie loses. We must continue onward.

[Kalidurga]

19. Exactly

I am a bit old to be getting into activism. But, here goes. I am joining an anti-war organization.

[Betty Karlson]

20. You complacent Millennials! Why won't you cross that bridge we burned down?

It's hardly smoldering anymore!

[Kalidurga]

21. LOL

That is the exact attitude. It's like they must have children. I just don't see how they communicate with their kids with that attitude.

[riderinthestorm]

22. Oh and more posts and threads pre-blaming the left for HRC's loss
