We haven't even hit the bottom yet

Obama supporters posting truly offensive shit about Clinton, Clinton supporters posting truly offensive shit about Obama, the use of the worst right wing crap by supporters of both candidates, and Clinton supporters threatening Obama supporters with the Secret Service and FBI when there are no posts actually threatening Clinton.

I do not condone real threats against anyone, let alone the presidential candidates, but let's be clear: Obama supporters are not doing that; not on DU. I understand that Clinton supporters feel outnumbered and shat upon and I share their outrage about some of the shit posted here about Clinton. But there have been no real threats against either candidate here that I've seen. Nor are Obama supporters threatening violence at the Convention. I've seen a very few, predict it, and I wish they'd shut the fuck up, but there is not, as has been suggested by some Clinton supporters, any evidence of an organized plan for violence by Obama supporters.

Here's the thing though: To some extent, Obama supporters are provoking this by posting offensive and creepy stuff about Clinton.

Can this get worse? It's hard to imagine, but I bet that it will. And I have no solutions.

6 more weeks until PA and I fear what GDP will be like for that period, as well as fearing the ugliness in the real world.

Is there anything we can do to improve things here?
