Hillary has moved on to the GE . . . uh, right

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by mcar (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

You've seen them, I'm sure . . .

the posts telling supporters of Senator Sanders that it's all over; the ones telling us how former-Secretary Clinton's supporters have all moved on, how they a laser focused on Trump; how they've all trashed GD-P because the "primary is over" and Senator Sanders and his supporters just don't matter to Hillary . . .

Take a second and go to the Hillary Group page and take a gander at her "focused" top ten posts (Yes, you can do it even if you've been banned)

5. I guess we could go to the Hillary group if we wanted to

..and read even though we are banned but why would we want to? I trashed the whole group thread because of posts just like this you cite. They are angry and post nothing that even begins to suggest why anyone should vote for Hillary.

The primaries are over in June. That is when we will know who is the democratic candidate. And irrespective of that MY VOTE IS MINE. And no one here will tell me how to cast it.

6. ••• Sierra Bianca idiocy is debunked in this DU post. (saw it coming)

A nothingburger but easy to float the conspiracy.

Bill Clinton and George Bush created the toxic waste dump called Sierra Blanca, Jane Sanders did not.

10. Sometimes pre-emption is the best policy

Of course, you are 100% CORRECT

Years before Texas, Vermont and others signed a compact to move low-level radioactive waste (you do know we are talking about stuff like rubber gloves, etc. that have been exposed to radiation, not fissile material, right?) to Sierra Blanca, BILL CLINTON and his "partner" had already saw to it that a huge toxic waste dump got built there. In other words, CLINTON policy had already poisoned that community before Vermont AND Texas even asked permission for their transfer.

Here's the kicker . . . Bill's poison pit was actually built . . . the citizens of Sierra Blanca were actually hurt. The nuclear waste site the Hillabullies are trying to use to claim that Sanders favors environmental racism? . . . never built.

11. And Jane is on the board that makes sure Vermont low level waste is managed safely.

It's when their taxes were released that I saw her stipend for board membership that I saw this shit coming and did the research.

Desperate and dishonest, the candidates fans and the candidate herself, of the same cloth.

The group of posters that support a particular candidate don't act collectively.

sexism, racism, the 'fake' civil-rights photograph, and on and on and on ... every meme put out daily showed up here right on time. Bullshit, they don't act collectively.

12. They are even back to their antisemitic dog whistles. I dared elude to a dog whistle and got a hide

If I had know I'd be hidden, I would have actually called them out for their bigotry outright. Rather than just alluding to the truth of it it, The guilty have such thin skins and think its meany, mean, mean! To not agree with their hatred of the guy's ethnic heritage and because of his heritage and that hatred they will hide even the hint you are on to them.

THIS POST IS ABOUT ADVICE GOING FORWARD

I suppose it is no surprise to anyone here the poster with the thin skin and the "soft bigotry" is a huge friend and supporter of a member here who openly, loudly and unmistakably declared hatred quite literally and in exact mistakenly frank terms that hatred towards those of Bernie Sanders Heritage, using both the "H' and "J' words directly with a rant so bigoted and racist it was picked up and re-echoed (honored?) by a well known ultra right wing hate site.

My advise, having faced bigots my whole life is either just ignore the dog whistles, or respond directly and take the hide because even hinting at what they do with their dog-whistles will result in a hide anyway.

I should have just called it straight out for what it was in retrospect considering the outcome was the same anyway.
