In reply to the discussion: California is my home state, and I'll be damned if anyone but Bernie wins it. [View all]passiveporcupine
(8,175 posts)I was trying to point out there is no need for that. We need to start trying to get along. I am not trying with the yellow button people...they are going on ignore, but anyone else is someone I'm willing to talk to, if you are also willing to talk about putting down the weapons (the verbal weapons) and instead stop attacking each other for threads that are not intended to inflame anyone.
Why start it? Why not just try to converse in a conversational tone, not a confrontational tone.
I don't know how to reach people who start that way without addressing what and why I am doing it.
This thread was just good news and energy and support for Bernie people, not anything attacking Hillary or her supporters. So why did you even go there?
Why can't we try to start using our "conversational voiced" when we have a conversation here?
If Bernie wins the nomination, I'd hope some Hillary supporters will vote for him. But the longer we keep sniping at each other, the harder that will be.
I'm opening the friendliness of the group to you, not so you will support Bernie over Hillary, but so you will support him if he wins.
I would hope people on your side might consider trying the same thing. While I would never quit Bernie to support Hillary, I will vote for her if she's the nominee.
I can do it while I'm gagging, or I can be resolved that it's just something I have to do to unite this party and beat Donald Trump. Without rancor at the supporters who have been so nasty to Bernie and his supporters.
But we have to start somewhere.
I can see reacting with snark to a snarking thread, or something you find insulting. I can't see it in a thread like this.
