Pleas of unity before the primary is over for people to support a campaign

[jfern]

whose SuperPAC is run by David fucking Brock, who slimed all the Berrnie supporters are bullshit. David Brock is radioactive.

[Xipe Totec]

1. Anybody who wants unity should wait for the battle to be over

You don't throw a kick and then sue for peace.

It's our turn now.

Rochambeau my ass.

[liberal_at_heart]

2. "You don't throw a kick and then sue for peace." Love it.

[Scootaloo]

3. And they need a plan to win it, rather than demand it

[bravenak]

4. Do whatever you want.

[geek tragedy]

5. You take your chances with juries here.

Avoid the Trump humping and Daily Caller articles and you can advocate for Bernie until there is a nominee.

[jfern]

6. This was complaining about the people calling for unity saying the primary is over

There's nothing new about juries here.

[geek tragedy]

7. Point is you are free to be as divisive as you want

Just be advised that a bunch of your fellow partisans are also complaining that there isn't enough conciliation on the part of HRC supporters.

So Bernie supporters need to figure out whether they want to get it as good as they give it, or maybe let things cool down

[jfern]

8. The primary isn't over

And Hillary supporters could have been councilary for telling David Brock to go fuck himself for all the poo he flung at Bernie and his supporters. Although then again, some of the poo came from Hillary herself. Those mailers claiming that Bernie voted against the auto bailout? Serious fucking bridge burning.

[geek tragedy]

9. Are Bernie supporters at all self-aware when they complain

about vitriol and divisive rhetoric?

[jfern]

10. No one is running a campaign against Hillary supporters

[geek tragedy]

11. No one is running a campaign against Sanders supporters either.

No one forced Sanders supporters to shout Dolores Huerta down, or accuse her of taking bribes, or to swarm her fucking charity's Facebook page, or Elizabeth Warren's page, or the Twitter feed and email inbox of every author who has criticized Bernie Sanders.

David Brock is not responsible for the bad reputation Sanders supporters have-they earned it themselves.

David Brock did not invent the hashtag #mississippiberning. Nor did he force Bernie supporters here to cheer each other on by the hundreds when they told Hillary Clinton to "fuck yourself with a brick." Or to pimp propaganda from Breitbart, Daily Caller, etc in order to attack Clinton.

It wasn't David Brock who caused Bernie supporters to angrily lash out at Black Lives Matter and accuse them of working for Hillary Clinton or Karl Rove.

It wasn't David Brock who forced Sanders supporters to claim black Hillary voters in South Carolina had a slave mentality, or that blacks and GLBT citizens who supported Clinton were suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

Please--don't act like you all are the victims because your antics drew attention.

[jfern]

12. You just contradicted yourself. You showed how Hillary is running a gutter campaign.

Keep burning those bridges.

[geek tragedy]

13. Um, no, you're imagining that. nt

[jfern]

14. That was all bullshit to make Bernie supporters look bad on race and gender

One could find many cases of Hillary supporters being fucking vile and making ridiculous comments and run a year long campaign fucking demonizing them, but no one has. Keep burning those fucking bridges.

[geek tragedy]

15. So you're just in denial and claiming a conspiracy theory

Even when most of those things happened at DU.

Over 100 Bernie fans did rec a post telling Hillary Clinton to "fuck yourself with a brick."

That did happen. Right here at DU.

Do you need a link?

[jfern]

16. The Hillary campaign didn't have much to attack Bernie on

So they made up bullshit about his supporters to claim that they were racist and sexist. It's a fucking gutter campaign. It worked very well in the primary, but is completely idiotic in the general election. It's been going on for a year. The time for unity was months ago to shut this bullshit down. There's so much double standard. If Bernie had treated a black girl like Hillary did at an all white event in South Carolina, the Internet would have fucking broke. This shit is destroying the party.

[geek tragedy]

17. So your final answer is to deny reality and to hide behind

a fantasy rather than admit maybe you Bernie people are responsible for your own behavior.

You all dish it out with a vengeance, but can't take it.

[jfern]

19. Come on, it was a coordinated campaign to make Bernie supporters look bad

I have never seen supporters so fucking demonized. It will bite Hillary in the ass in November when the voters that her campaign spent a year demonizing and never giving a single damn reason to vote for her don't bother to show up to vote.

[geek tragedy]

21. Do you have any evidence to support this besides

your own imagination?

Did David Brock force Bernie fans to write and rec this?:

[jfern]

22. I know it's terrible that someone didn't try to be Hillary's biggest fan

[geek tragedy]

25. There is a middle ground between "biggest fan" and

raw hatred.

You all should try it.

[jfern]

26. True, but you don't need to have raw hatred of Hillary to not bother to vote for her

[geek tragedy]

28. You do have to hate her to tell her to shove a brick up her vagina.

143 Bernie fans rec'd a post with such language.

But that is David Brock's fault somehow. Or is it David Brock's fault decent people are repulsed by such hate speech?

[jfern]

32. I didn't see that part, maybe a lot missed it

[geek tragedy]

34. Jury saw it and excused it.

Plenty of Clinton supporters objected in the comments. And the recs piled up.

Another one that drew dozens of recs in the Bernie group was a post mocking Patty Davis's facial expression at her own mother's funeral. Pure class.

[jfern]

35. I've seen plenty of very bad stuff from the Hillary people

They even made their own site so that they could say shit that no reasonable jury would be allowed to be said about either candidate.

[geek tragedy]

36. Bernie people have their own site too.

They like to call Hillary the b-word there.

[jfern]

37. Never heard of it

[geek tragedy]

38. You're not missing much.

[geek tragedy]

18. Here is the kind of behavior Bernie people are famous for;

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511459520

[jfern]

20. Nothing sexist and racist there

If you ridicule those who disagree with your candidate, that's a good way for them to stay home in November. It seems many are determined to shrink the party.

[geek tragedy]

23. It was violently hateful, worthy of Trump supporters

it is quite obvious you and your fellow travelers feel so morally self-righteous you are justified in writing or saying anything.

[jfern]

24. It's quite obvious that Hillary has become toxic to many on the left

Maybe it has something to do with how she has treated the left?

[geek tragedy]

27. no, it's just hateful toxic people being who they are

Your attempt to blame the target of the utterly deranged hatred is pretty revealing.


As if it's Hillary's fault Bernie people say stuff like "fuck youdself with a brick."

At least Trump owns his nastiness.

[jfern]

29. I've seen a lot of terrible Hillary supporters

But what's really bad is what's coming from Hillary, Bill, Chelsea, David Brock, and top politicians who are surrogates for Hillary. A lot of lies an ridiculous attacks.

[geek tragedy]

31. Clinton has treated Sanders with kid gloves compared to

what she did against Obama. Obama supporters got over it.

[litlbilly]

39. you want to make bet?

[geek tragedy]

40. Where's your proof? nt

[litlbilly]

41. David Brock, Chris Mathews, MSNBC, thats all i need to say. If you still dont get it, its on you

[geek tragedy]

43. Lol, "My speculation is my proof" nt

[litlbilly]

45. annnnnd ignore, bye

[Lil Missy]

30. There's always other Hillary Hating websites. n/t

[jfern]

33. We've seen that Hillary supporter site for DU people, and it was pretty bad

[Purveyor]

42. Must be pretty quite over at 'that place' tonight since its rabble are all back over here... eom

[Autumn]

44. Both of them are nasty

nasty ugly

[pinebox]

47. Yes there other Hillary hating websites like all of twitter lol
