So, when Clinton loses the nomination, will we still see

loyalty oath threads to clinton here at DU?

you know, the ones that said anyone who doesn't support her should be banned.


There was a lot of investment early on in creating peer pressure for everyone here to accept her as the presumptive nominee.
There were a lot of threads making unfounded accusations and threats of banning that anyone who did not accept her as the nominee. The characterization was that anyone who did NOT support Clinton was a freeper or a disruptor.

FWIW, I found those threads chilling, and I among others kept trying to remind people the primaries hadn't even started yet.

well, now the primaries have started, and the race, although close, is clearly running against Clinton at this point.

So, I could ask the SAME TYPE OF QUESTION that clinton supporters here did back then: will everyone here get behind Obama as the candidate or risk being banned?

see how ridiculous that sounds? How fascist?

Just putting the shoe on the other foot to make us all think about whether such "loyalty oath" threads are appropriate here, regardless of the candidate.
