In reply to the discussion: Warning: No Trashing of the Party's Nominee Allowed on DU [View all]Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)69. 100% horseshit "blanket statement."
"...it appears the Bernie supporters can't help pushing RIGHT WING crap here on a daily basis."
Now, if you'd said "SOME Bernie supporters can't help pushing RIGHT WING crap here on a daily basis," I'd agree with you. Take a look at a few Clinton posts while you're at it. The monkeys are flinging poo from BOTH sides of the fence.
But you didn't say that. You made a blanket statement about ALL Sanders supporters, and I'm one of them, and I don't post "RIGHT WING crap here on a daily basis," so I...call...HORSESHIT.
Even MOTHER JONES gets torn a new asshole every time content shows up on DU that is not pro-Clinton. But no, I do not post Fox, I do not post Brietbart, I post the most "sanctioned" sources on DU and if, in the Primary season where I am allowed to do so, I post something that questions Clinton's ability to hold down the job, that's the way the cookie crumbles. I know the rules. I ASKED Skinner about this on ATA, and he clarified. If and when Clinton gets the nomination, I won't post anything from any source that is harshly critical of her.
Instead of perpetuating the same tired, divisive, superior high-horse rhetoric, you may want to consider being a little more magnanimous in the way you describe "the Bernie supporters."
Or, just keep doing this. Go read Skinner's response to my ATA post. A big part of the expectations as we enter into GE is that we will get along with each other. That means you can either start toning down the rhetoric now or deal with it later.
