70. Might have something to do with the treatment received at the hands of some Hillary supporters.

Mon Jul 25, 2016, 07:40 PM

Jul 2016

Almost 90% of Sander's supporters say they will vote for Hillary, yet there still has been a lot of ugliness spewed at them. Many of the posts here demonstrate how bad it has been. Not all Sander's supporters have been respectful either. I would suggest toning it down a great deal and things would go better.

The Primary was hard fought, but the two candidates have decided to work together and so should we. Let's stop with the "you lost so tough sh*t" and "they cheated" crap and move forward. This isn't 2008, and different issues exist

Hillary will be nominated and after a while everything will calm down. All of this harsh talk just drags it out longer. Everyone just needs to CHILL!!!
