Congratulations to Hillary supporters!

[Logical]

I have been a supporter of Bernie and at times not a nice one!

I have been rude at times and I let emotion influence my comments more than I should have. For that I apologize.

Hillary is no doubt smart and experienced. IMO she is a little far to the right for our nominee but the people have made their decision.

I am happy we have the first woman nominee after having the first black nominee in 2008! This is a great event!

Hillary is 1000 times better than Trump or any other GOP candidate. And anyone here who does not believe it really should not be here. There is a big difference between not liking Hillary and saying she is no better that Trump. Trump is dangerous and would be a disaster and an embarassment for this country.

So lets move on to electing Hillary and destroying Trump!

Enjoy your evening and celebrating your candidates big win!

9. Very very nice.

Returned apologies for rudeness.

[Logical]

31. We are good!!

[NCTraveler]

37. Thank you for that.

I know who has my back and most posters here supporting Sanders have always had my back. I have theirs as well. The fact they supported Sanders in the first place is a sign of that. I, along with too many others, got very comfortable with our broad brushes.

[Logical]

57. I agree, but i admit some Bernie supporters here will need to go. Nt

[LoverOfLiberty]

10. "I have been rude at times and I let emotion influence my comments more than I should have"

We all have. Thank you for being gracious. I hope we all do better in that regard.

[Logical]

15. Thanks for forgiving me! Nt

[Surya Gayatri]

11. Thank you for this graceful and generous OP.

You are an honorable Sanders supporter worthy of respect.

13. Jeez you are really a

class act.

Thank you!

[sheshe2]

16. Nicely done, Logical.

Thanks, together we will dump Trump.

[Logical]

29. I agree! Nt

[BootinUp]

18. Bernie Sanders and his supporters have plenty to be proud of

as well. Thank you.

[Trust Buster]

19. Classy post. I too have stepped on many toes and wish to make amends. This thread is as good

a place as any.

[MrWendel]

21. I know its not easy but...

Thank you.

[boston bean]

22. Very nice post!

[Logical]

28. Thanks! We are good! Nt

[boston bean]

30. Yes we are!

[nolabear]

23. It's my fervent hope that we have the amazing influence of Bernie and supporters.

There's so much value there.

[DCBob]

24. Nice.

My apologies too to you.

[Logical]

26. We sre good! :-)

[hamsterjill]

25. Your post is greatly appreciated.

Let's destroy that rat bastard Trump! Let's get to work. Glad to have you aboard.

[FSogol]

27. Well said, Logical. GOTV, DU.

[bettyellen]

34. Thanks! Bummed it won't be called tonight though.

[Logical]

36. Honestly should be. Nt

[bettyellen]

45. Well. AP is going to be AP.....

[Demsrule86]

35. Thanks!

I appreciate your words. Onward...to destroy the orange man who cometh bearing poison fruit.

[seabeyond]

38. Ty for this grounded post. Hey, I thought you did particularly well at times.

I agree with all you say, I too am guilty, and I am with you 100% from the other camp.

tip a hat at you.

[Logical]

48. Thanks for the nice comment! We are good! Nt

[mcar]

39. This is what I love about DU!

Thanks!

[PeaceNikki]

40. And I forgot to say I am sorry for any snarky rudeness with you as well.

[Logical]

44. We both were passionate and now we are on the same side! Nt

[JSup]

41. That's very...

...gracious of you (no snark), thank you.

Hopefully my 'side' can be as gracious in winning just this once.

[Logical]

46. Thanks!

[JSup]

50. One question...

...was me mentioning that I wasn't being snarky necessary or would you have thought I was being snarky because we've all been so snarky lately?

I just want to know how long until I can say something nice without needing to say "No, I really mean it, honest, no sarcasm."

[Logical]

55. I knew you were not being snarky! But thanks for checking. Nt

[rjsquirrel]

42. Thank you!

Bernie fought a hard and impressive battle and moved the needle far to the left in a powerful way. I have always adored him and although he's made me angry in recent months I can let it go and I hope he supports the nominee and helps us defeat an existential threat to American values and political freedom.

And I regret my own bursts of snark and anger over the last few months. It was a rough one, especially since I started out backing Sanders and so was seen even by own lefty friends as selling out to support Hillary by about January.

I think it really matters that we elect a woman.

This was a gracious and appreciated post. Bravo.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

43. You are a class act, sir. nt

[beachbum bob]

47. its always a tempest in primaries and the calm rational supporters do come around, you should be

the example for all of bernies followers to look up to. This is what having "class" looks like..and many thanks from all of us

[moriah]

49. Thank you, Logical. Congratulations on your candidate running an amazing campaign!

He really did.

[SciFiRK]

51. So now we kowtow to Hillary's campaign

as long as we "fall in" behind dirty tricks DNC and fracking, TPP, warmongering, Wall Street Hillary we're "good guys"

If we don't we're delusional, wanting unicorns etc.

Don't think so.

Never Hillary.

[TomJulie]

52. Sincere Post - Thank You

The big war is about to start.

[apcalc]

53. Thank you, very mature and gracious.

Now let's get Trump!

[writes3000]

54. Couldn't agree more, Logcal. And I hope many of Bernie's goals become our Dem platform.

[Logical]

56. Thanks for this! Nt

[peggysue2]

58. After a hard, spirited race . . .

this is how we start coming together as Democrats, acknowledging the primary is over and that the real struggle is still ahead. Donald Trump can never be allowed to put his big toe inside the White House.

Together we can win this thing.

Very nice acknowledgment, Logical. The same good wishes back to you.

[Haveadream]

59. Thank you for your gracious post!

There is so much more that unites us than divides us.




We need to be on the right side of history in this election. It is so important. The damage Trump can do to the civil rights, foreign policy, environment, education, poor is just incalculable. Progress can be like climbing a mountain. Sure footing and stability for so many at risk means finding the next best step and preventing falls that some can never recover from.

#NEVER TRUMP!!

[Logical]

60. +1000

[Txbluedog]

61. Thank you AND

WE ARE DEMOCRATS, WE MAY DISAGREE BUT WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE WE HAVE EACH OTHER'S BACKS---ALWAYS.

Hillary is the nominee, however if Sanders would have been the nominee, I would fully expect my fellow Hillary supporters to back him 110 percent. #nevertrump

[Logical]

64. I agree!!! Nt

[renate]

62. threads like this are like salve on a wound

What a wonderful way to start the day! Thanks for posting this.

I have missed the old DU that used to be like a port in a storm; I always felt like we were one big community, but in the past few months... not so much. There's a lot of dashed hopes and disappointment on one side, and residual injured feelings on both sides, but I think after a brief period of adjustment, and of threads like yours, it'll feel like home again.

[Logical]

63. Nice post! Nt

[Il_Coniglietto]

117. In many ways, it's easier to be against something

Than it is to be for something. DU started as a refuge for Democrats after the 2000 "Election," united in our hatred of the Bush Administration. I think that created a special sense of community, especially after 9/11 when the ra-ra patriotism was at its peak.

We've obviously had our ups and downs since then, but ultimately what keeps us together is the understanding that the Republican Party is antithetical to everything we believe in and hold dear. Every year we think, "they can't get any worse!" And yet they do.

Thankfully, we have the ability to stop them.

Great post, OP, and thank you! This is what makes DU awesome

[LexVegas]

65. Thank you. And I apologize if I was ever rude to you as well. nt

[BooScout]

70. Thank you!

Nice post!

[pdsimdars]

71. Am I the first one to call Bull Sh*t on this OP?

what nonsense. You can't be a Bernie supporter because you are totally uninformed. This OP is just some made up meme, like all the other "I'm a Bernie supporter, but .. . ." posts.


According to the RULES of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, NO candidate who does not get 59% of the PLEDGED delegates can be the nominee before the convention. That's the rule.

The media were told this over and over, that the SDs do not count UNTIL the convention. But they just ignored that rule. Just like Hillary ignored all those rules about handling Classified information. How fitting.

[Spacedog1973]

72. Don't be a sour puss!

Take the post in the spirit which it has been given. Voters of any party are not a monolithic group

[arely staircase]

76. Have fun until the 16th when this shit will get you banned. nt

[PeaceNikki]

78. Awww, you need a hug?

together, we got this!!

[sheshe2]

133. Trip to Rome. nt

[Nye Bevan]

80. Another hug from me....

Now let's go get Trump!

[Logical]

86. You need to face reality! Trump is the enemy. We lost. Move on. Big picture!

[pdsimdars]

98. The rules are so simple and so clear, even a grade schooler could understand them

It is not the AP who makes a nominee for the Democratic party, it is the Democratic party. And their spokesman has been out several times in interviews telling the rules.

Unless one candidate gets 59% of the PLEDGED delegates, they are not the nominee. And the nominee will have to be determined at the convention by the SDs. He also said that the SDs are likely to change their minds.

But in any case, I don't believe the convention has happened, so the Democratic Party does not have a nominee.

[Lord Magus]

149. And yet you don't understand them.

This "pledged delegates only" garbage is not a rule that exists.

74. Logical you are a better person than me!! without a doubt

When O'Malley was not viable.. I really took it hard, and had to make my way back in stages.. and every now and then I get that old aggravation back .. but there is a much bigger issue ahead of us.. #NEVERTRUMP..you explained much better than I could have

And his attacks and threats to use the goverment to settle scores hopefully will unite us all in the end..

Cheers

[Logical]

87. Thank you! Nt

[auntpurl]

114. He/she is FAR more gracious than I was in 08, I can tell you that!

I was always going to vote for Obama, but I was NOT happy about it in the beginning and I would never have been able to make a post like this. I am totally admiring!

[Peacetrain]

127. Me too Purl..me too..

[arely staircase]

75. Forward together.

#nevertrump indeed.

[herding cats]

77. We're on the same side now.

Let's remember we're all more alike than we are different as we move on to fight Trump!

#NEVERTRUMP

[skylucy]

79. You're a class act, Logical. Thank you for the post and for helping with the effort to

bring Dems together to defeat Trump and take back the Senate in November!

[Logical]

91. Big picture!! Nt

[Starry Messenger]

81. I so rarely remember arguments on here anymore.

An artifact of aging, but it makes my disposition a lot sunnier. Nice post, and looking forward to sending Trump back to his Trump steaks.

[Logical]

88. Me too! Nt

[pandr32]

82. Thank you!

And we are all in this together to shut out Trump and to turn the Senate blue.

[Socal31]

83. There is hardly anything more fascinating than the thought of the upcoming debates.

[obamanut2012]

89. Great OP -- #nevertrump

[pdsimdars]

92. Now I agree. . . she doesn'tneed any more delegates to win. .. so there is no need

for Hillary supporters to waste the time in their busy day to go vote. It takes so much time and is such a hassle, and she has ALREADY won. Why bother? Go out and enjoy!

[Her Sister]

118. Vote Vote Vote!

Nice try!

[ancianita]

93. As a Berner, I'm all about this message! Thanks for your joyous, generous political spirit!

[Logical]

94. We are all on the same team at some point! Trump makes it essier! Nt

[Maru Kitteh]

95. Thank you Logical: For the record I am GENUINELY glad SBS ran and did as well as he did

I'm really looking forward to where it goes from here.

Thanks for this post!

[Logical]

102. Thank you too! Nt

[rbrnmw]

96. Thank you for being so gracious

I haven't exactly been nice here. I am very sorry Now let's kick some Orange Bad Comb Over Ass.

[ohheckyeah]

97. Thanks Logical

For a great heaing post. We need to stomp out the racist orange guy. CNN just had a headline that members of both parties slaw Trump for his racist statements. LOL. They took it down quickly.

[Logical]

100. I saw that, it really makes him look more idiot. Nt

[welivetotreadonkings]

101. Primaries take a lot out of you.

I'm in the same boat as the poster, and I have a good feeling as the summer moves on we'll be seeing more comments like this. I have serious doubts the BernieOrBust crowd is going to be a significant size once we really focus our efforts on Trump and the G.O.P.

[Logical]

103. I think trump will scare/annoy real liberals into voting against him. Nt

[auntpurl]

116. Welcome to DU, and thank you for your post!

[lunamagica]

104. K&R. Thank you! Your username fits you perfectly

Now, let's beat Trump!

112. Thank you so much for your kind words....

You sound just like many of my Bernie supporter friends .

Who while they might not be Hillary Lovers, they always say to me: #NEVERTRUMP

[Stuckinthebush]

113. Wow! Thank you!

You are an inspiration. We should all be as reflective as you, Logical. I'm honestly contemplative due to your post. Thank you.

[Hokie]

115. Terrific post

I have posted some things I regret because the Hillary bashing was way over the top and incessant. At times I thought I had been redirected to Freerepublic by accident. I have a lot of respect for Bernie Sanders and his success is nothing short of amazing. It looks like it's time to move on though and get about the business of making sure Donald Trump is shown up to be the racist, lying, clown that he is and sent packing.

I know some of the polls show that Sanders had a better chance of winning. Some of us who have watched a bunch of these elections know to take these hypothetical matchup polls with a grain of salt. The polls that matter will come in early August.

[Walk away]

119. Great! Let's go beat the crap out of Donald Trump!!!

[grossproffit]

120. You chose the right username! I've been rude as well and I apologize too.

[Ellen Forradalom]

121. You're a very gracious person

I eventually chose Hillary but will vote any Dem over any Repub.

[Her Sister]

122. Thanks for the congratulations!

Time now to send Trump Back to Reality-TV where I will never ever ever watch him!

[BlueCaliDem]

123. K&R! #NeverTrump! eom

124. Thank you for your post. You are a class act.

It will be nice working with you against DT. I also apologize if I offended you. Your post gives great hope for unity.

125. Our ultimate goal is to defeat Trump, he is not good for the USA, thanks for your support.

[Koinos]

126. Thanks for the OP.

Time to send Trump to the dump.

128. Thanks

Looking forward to this historical night!

[LAS14]

129. This is exciting! The positive replies FAR exceed...

... the (formerly??) typical DU viciousness. Maybe we're turning a corner!

[LAS14]

130. Logical, I hope you will be front and center...

... in whatever structure evolves after the election to keep pushing for Sanders' ideals.

[Logical]

137. I will! He has some good one that need consideration! Nt

[NanceGreggs]

131. After months of being on ...

... "opposite sides", I am more than happy we're on the same KickTrumpButt team!

135. i have been annoying at times....

Glad we are together now!!

Thanks!

[NanceGreggs]

140. YOU'VE been annoying?

Yeah, like I haven't been ...

Looking forward to kicking some TrumpButt together over the next few months!

132. I don't like Hillary at all BUT

she is 1000x better than Trump!

[Logical]

142. I agree! Nt

[NastyRiffraff]

134. What a lovely post, Logical!

We welcome you to the fold! With people like you, and all of us, Trump won't know what hit him!

Very glad to rec this!

[Logical]

139. Thank you! Nt

[Dem2]

141. Have a solid K & R

Good post

[Bleacher Creature]

144. As a Hillary supporter, I have much celebrate.

But in all honesty, your post is the highlight of my night.

Coming together, keeping Trump the hell out of the White House, and fighting for progressive causes is what's it's all about. Your gracious post and damn fantastic attitude has me convinced that we can really do it.

I absolutely have your back, and will hold Hillary's feet to the fire every chance I get to make sure that she fights for the most progressive policies possible.

So for tonight, the only thing I can say is "thank you."

[Logical]

145. Thanks for the nice words! We are all on same side now! Nt
