on the polls...
Their joy about 'vindication' over Bernie is much more important than the reality of a Trump presidency.
I feel that both Trump supporters and the Bernie or Busters are both the equivalent of family annihilators.

(58,785 posts)In spite of the inability of some to accept that these far-left populists were never "ours" to keep or lose, most of us no more consider them our people than we do those tea party types who chose Rump's right-wing populist movement instead.
They always opposed, disliked, resented the Democrats, for goodness' sakes, soaked in Breitbart and other right-wing poison like sponges. How many times must some people need to be bashed with the same old reality to clue in?

(14,944 posts)But I am supporting Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders has urged his supporters to do that and that is good enough for me. And then there's the fact that she is actually qualified to be president. And not an asshole like her chief rival.

(11,330 posts)the dredges of bernie or busters or anyone but hillary left DU and are busy congratulating themselves on their brilliance...and also trying to enforce their own worldview on their site,
I keep going back hoping that they are joining reality...but its not happening.
When Hillary had pneumonia...they were telling themselves that Bernie would get on the ballot due to Hillary's health.
There are people there who I enjoyed on DU...before they became unhinged

Their attitude is "I got mine, fuck everyone else", and it makes them no different than Republicans

Take me for example? And there are a few of us over there who are voting Hillary. We're just not all super elated and happy about it.

(28,876 posts)...would have done better against Trump (that is, after all, a big reason I supported him).
-AND-
I can feel disappointed, sad and worried that Hillary isn't doing better against him.
She would, of course, be a far superior President than would Trump (maybe even better than Sanders, I concede). But, alas, this is a "change election" and she is not change.
I truly hope that she ultimately pulls it off because the alternative is rather dismal.

(53,032 posts)rooting for the exact same thing. Only they lack the integrity to admit what they are. There is not now and has never been anything leftist about them. Just like the rest of the Trump supporters, they want to return to the era of Jim Crow. That is the Democratic Party they openly long for.

English John's show Sunday at the end was the best honest take down showing why Trump's negatives are a ton worse than Hillary's, i just wish everyone could see it.

of HRC losing the election they are hoping for her to have a seizure or some other disastrous health episode in public to prove their bullshit theory that she has Parkinsons, MS, epilepsy, dementia, etc.
No one, not even right-wingers, are promoting that bullshit as much as JPR is. According to them, she wears a body brace to be able to stand upright, is high all the time due to her meds and if Hill looks just fine, thats because her body double is making campaign appearances for her. I kid you not they actually swallow this bullshit whole.
Progressives my ass. They are extremely sick people. I suspect many of those posting there are RWers, who glommed onto the site figuring they could use JPRs hatred of Hillary and Obama, Warren, and the Dems in general to catapult their propaganda amongst the easily-led.
