Everybody Listen to the Hillary Supporters, and the Obama Supporters.
They each have good points about the respective candidates that can help all of us. Try to understand WHY supporters of your candidate's opponent dislike your candidate so much.

There are real reasons, and there are faux reasons. It is important to see your choice through another's eyes, it can only help.

Ignore the flamebaiting trolls. Listen to true supporters.

1. There are good points
on both sides. That is why, I for one, will vote for the one that wins.

3. Thank you.
I think silly season just spiked to batsh*t crazy weekend. Hoping for more temperate climes in the near future.

7. Peace will need to be made here and in the party
after Obama wins the nomination. The critisisms made by the Hillary supporters will be adopted by the mccainers. That's when we'll need unity.

10. No, after we're done with this b.s., we either come together behind
the candidate or we look for other pastures. So there will be peace either way. I don't imagine anyone supporting McCain will want to be around here, or would last.

12. If that's the case
I hope that the criticisms made by the Hillary supporters will be listened to by Obama and his supporters.

Half the Democratic Party can't all be wrong on everything.

9. I have always valued opinions whether they agree with mine
or not over those who have no opinions... I am sure that is part of a quote of someone...can't remember who?

Good OP!

14. It can be hard to differentiate between the causes of dislike, and the rationalizations that follow
That's the tricky part.
