8-9% back Trump, the rest are undecided or 3rd party. Seems there is already unity and anyone in the media that says otherwise if full of shit.

(3,072 posts)I'll admit that I am human and have let my passions get the best of me during the primaries but a few angry people on in the democratic party shouldn't tear the rest of us apart. I think people that are on the winning side should be more gracious than those that didn't win. I have seen plenty of Hillary backers be polite and welcoming but a few essentially say "fuck off, we don't want you", even today. Negativity is never helpful. Respect and communication above all else.

(8,421 posts)I have felt the 'fuck off, we don't want you' from others. Let people go through the process of grieving a loss before moving on.
I appreciated your thoughtful reply.
