Just when you thought all the Bernie haters had moved on

I don't know why it's OK to continue to post anti-Bernie threads.

I didn't respond to it, because doing so in the past has got me 'alerted on'.

So apparently it's OK to post anti-Bernie threads,
but not OK to say "Get over him and move on"?

Moved on?? disillusioned73 Jun 2017 #1
Exactly. The Bernie-haters probably won't move on until, at the earliest, 2020. Jim Lane Jun 2017 #2

Of course, to be fair, that's about when some of the Hillary-haters will move on, too.

The post you referenced should just be a good opportunity to expand your ignore list.

Each to her own, but I'd rather suck it up in order to get the chance to make this place more fair.
Some of them thrive on bashing us, and I just have no respect for them as DUers... they are not about community, just ego.

I can hardly stand what I am reading some days. We often sound like what we used to rail against.

Oh well, I actually feel really sad for those who must keep this up. How hard it must be to not be able to grow past your own concerns, open your mind to "new" ideas, think about other people not just those just like you.

They are likely a bit jealous since Bernie is out there every day in the press doing good things trying to move the country to a place we would ALL want to live in instead of a place where even the DNC caves in to the Goldman Sacs of the world. He gets a lot of press, most of it is very good and the real Dems in Washington like him quite a lot. Maybe if Hillary was in the same position they would not have to go after Bernie. Other than that I cannot imagine why he would catch so much flak. Most of it is from only a few but they seem to fire up a lot of, "Yer either with us or yer again us" dialogue. Whatever the hell that matters, the being with us with the big D behind his name.

Good lawd, some people need to stop the drama, STFU and unite so that we can beat the republicans.

It is so bizarre that some can't seem to get their priorities straight.

For some reason I find myself thinking of her often when I come here.

The extraordinary losses the Dems have had -- House, Senate, Presidency, Supreme Court -plus state legislatures, school boards, governorships, etc.

Bernie plus his bros and Russia and Comey are very far reaching doncha know.
