20. We gotta BE the change we seek, as the saying goes.
So it is up to us as individuals.
Neither sub-group is monolithic, all good/all bad.

So maybe your 50 ignores would shrink over time, as they change their tone - but how will you know?
That is some conundrum.
If one of them has an epiphany and decides to be nice and make peace, maybe you will get a memo. :)

In the meantime, I will work with you, as I am not too terrible.
I think...

7. I wouldn't judge Obama by some of the supporters here
there's about 20-30 who, if they're not in their teens, they're stuck in that mentality.

9. You wish,they don't seem to see just what they are doing.
there are not many Hillary voters will come back and vote for BHO after they have been degraded, trashed and put down , women are not that easily transformed. We do have backbone and know what we want. We can't be bought by hype. I for one will really take a very long time to consider whether I could in good conscious to vote for him, just because he a democrat. My family, lifelong Dems have totally sworn off , voting for him. He and his supporters have tarnished the man for ever for them. I am trying to stay more open,but it is very difficult.

some of these folks grew up on gaming boards! You can tell from their language use- as well as their behavior.

33. right before our non primary down here
I read a story that said the Edwards campaign didn't expect to win ANY primaries. At that point we said "oh well it ain't gonna happen for our guy" and switched over to Barack Obama

35. I can appreciate your collective position.
I was still arguing here for people to support him on ST. I thought if he could get the 15% viability, it would send a message. Best recollection was that he ended with 8%. That is when I took stock and reassessed the situation and the coattails. Since, I have grown to truly stand behind the Senator in his bid.

our Florida vote wouldn't mean shit-we still went. I was one of the 90 thousand plus dems whose name was taken off the rolls in 2000-I vowed to NEVER let them do that to me again...

43. I was fucking outraged
there were republican operatives "working" the phones to "help us" get it straightened out-they kept saying "the line is busy"-I ended up tearing up my voters registration card right there at the station and VOWED-never again. My family's blood is on the battlefields of this country's wars and it pissed me off big time

I was there in 2000 too, but we didn't have any problems in Duval. Our county wasn't one of the ones targeted. Majority Republican is all I can fathom.

have done everthing you folks to trash Hillary. Why do you think Hillary folks would want to vote for BHO?
You can't just do or say anything to win and expect everyone to follow. Please explain.

40. See, that's your problem Mags
Obama hasn't done a damn thing to her.

So get over that silliness and realize that not everyone that supports Obama is represented on DU and that Obama is not responsible for his supporters.

49. Not really, but it helps to know which posters threads to read
and which posters replies to read! There is still some good stuff to be found here among the flames and snark, and that's what keeps bringing me into GD-P to scan the threads.

We can't have our nominee soon enough for me, so we can go back to going after the real enemy.
