A suggestion.

Bravenak posted in GD-P a call for civility and the response was not encouraging.

I'm stepping away from GD-P for a few days. The Bernies are getting more angry and frustrated, and it's all just nasty.

I know that many of our group members don't post in GD-P. But for those who do, why don't we all chill here and let the Bernies have the forum for awhile? The interactions aren't worth the trouble.

I suspect that trend will only continue as June 16th approaches.

Been trying to wean myself off of GDP for a few days. I think it's a good idea.

I am still sticking to my resolution no matter how they behave. I'm not them, so I have no idea why what I posted pissed them off so bad.

You will never redeem yourself in their eyes and it's OK. They aren't worth it. Their reactions say so much more about them than you.

Fuck 'em. Right in the ear.

Funny how nasty they get when anybody is nice to them. Spoiled.

I am going to look for brave's thread and give it a rec but I trashed GDP a long time ago and I am sure not going back now. Let them get it out of their system. Sore losers need time to break their hands hitting the wall I guess. I just hope they don't kick any dogs.

For some reason they don't seem to like the notion that Bernie voting to authorize the Iraq War...repeatedly...kinda sorta means he has some culpability, in the same way they keep attacking Hillary for her vote to authorize.

Oh, my. Crazy and delusional much? I left GDP behind long ago because ... well, if I wanted to read right-wing hate posts, I'd log into Fox News on-line. I was really puzzled about how wild the responses were. Apparently any primary won be Hillary was rigged ... Bernie's supporters will storm the convention. Oh, my. I'm sad that this level of wild speculation and lack of information-based argument is so predominant.
