Reply #308: For one thing

people should stop calling them "losers" and other nasty names. (That happened on another DU thread just today.) That isn't going to make them feel better about their situation.

Obama is being a gracious winner. His supporters should follow his lead.

As someone who has not been a partisan in this long race, but an observer, one thing that I think would help would be to acknowledge that HRC supporters have some valid grievances. There WAS indeed a surprising amount of misogynistic and sexist vitriol directed against HRC in this race. Not from Obama, but from a significant number of supporters of both Obama and other candidates. Much of the Hillary-hate used the same language and seemed to come from the same toxic well that Limbaugh supporters drink from. It was truly disturbing for me to run into so much of this here on DU. Obama people don't help his cause by trying to minimize the problem.
