They are the DU banned, the tombstoned.

Who in the fuck cares what they think?
Certainly not me.

I voted for Bernie in the MI primary.

After watching both Bernie and Hillary speak today, I am proud to be a Democrat so I can proudly stand beside both Bernie and Hillary.

And since Bernie has promised to go on the stump for Hillary, I can see the steam roller moving now. Drumpf will be smashed by it. The GOP, too. Just like in "A Fish Called Wanda". There's no stopping it before it's too late.

Just make sure that you vote Democratic up and down the ballot. We desparately need those state offices.

I loved the DUzys. They could only have been done by the originator, though. Later attempts didn't work so well. But, people are still posting DUzys every day on DU. They always will. Thanks for the compliment.

I personally know some people who talk this way, my facebook feed has a bunch of them trashing him this morning. I've avoided having political discussions with any of these people for the last several months so it'll be a relief when they get past this.

as it's exemplifies everything that's wrong with internet journalism. OTOH I had to laugh at the degree of butthurt on display, as well as the more obvious conservative trolls like the one that said she feels like her boyfriend cheated on her with the neighborhood whore

But these loons are likely either fakes or never Dems in the first place. Worrying about losing their votes is about as meaningful as worrying about lkosing Dick Cheney's.

Bold prediction (actually not that bold). Clinton will be within 10% in losing Dem voters compared to Obama. Not 10 percentage points but 10% of those he lost. He lost an average of 9.5% of Dems in his two runs, 11 and 8 respectively. So unless she loses more than 10.5% the prediction stands.

She can likely lose a fair amount more than that and still win however, as Ferrethead's turnout numbers are looking way weaker than Romney's.
