That's all this fu*Kn place has become, a Hillary hatefest

No wonder I see very little difference between Trump supporters and Sanders supporters

1. I'm sure Hitler is next

Just have to wait until the next set of primaries.

2. I saw that ugly post. And

it was alerted and it stands. damn!!

[still_one]

3. It is ugly

[Buzz Clik]

4. Comparisons to Kissinger, Nixon, Pol Pot.

[Kath1]

5. Getting worse all the time.

Not going to get any better, either.

[SunSeeker]

6. K & R

[Setsuna1972]

7. DU is not the same anymore

These guys are anything but Progressive

[SharonClark]

8. What's going on

The poster is full of hate and ignorant of history; his tag line says it all.
The best thing to do is not read their posts and enjoy your life - do a good deed, take a walk, have a glass of wine, pet your dog, kiss your partner, and work to elect Hillary. Works for me and maybe it will work for you.

9. Good advice

[FourScore]

10. I am a Bernie supporter, and I agree with you.

The post is rude and it should have been hidden when alerted. It's uncalled for.

13. Thank you

I've begun to see more and more Bernie supporters coming forward to express their dismay at such behavior.

[UtahLib]

11. I would suggest

not giving them the attention they so desperately seek. Their opinions are of no value.

12. Thanks to Bernie's Red Guard

The jury system has been thoroughly gamed. Pity the guy that owns this site has little interest in moderating the attacks on actual Democrats and their supporters. I guess he must also be a big raised fist Bernie supporter.

14. He is supposedly

a HC supporter, but I agree. He has a weird and counterproductive way of showing it.

16. Actually Skinner supports Hillary and he is well aware of what is going on.

His seems to believe that this is all just primary "noise" and that the vast number of Sanders supporters will come back to the fold after the nomination is secured.

That may have been true in the past. While I was not involved in the rather vicious primary disputes that I understand occurred in 2008, I shifted seamlessly from supporting Hillary to supporting Barack by donating my time and money when Hillary dropped out of the race.

Again, I wasn't here in 2008, but this feels different to me. My impression is that many of the most fervent and disruptive Sanders supporters are only here because of a once in their lifetime to support a true socialist candidate seems to have a legitimate shot at becoming the nominee of a major party. I suspect that most of those people won't support Hillary when she secures the nomination and never had any intention of doing so.

It also seems like some of the current acrimony of these people has rubbed off on some DU veterans with many thousands of posts behind their name. They also treat Sanders like "the anointed one" who is past due for his halo. I think it will be very difficult for these people who seem to have convinced themselves that Hillary is "evil", to accept her has their nominee.

17. Interesting!

I joined up early in 2008 - I don't remember the atmosphere around here ever getting anywhere near as polarized and vile as it is now. The number of racist, sexist, and threatening posts bordering on cyber bullying these days is simply stunning - especially for a site that austensibly champions Democratic values and ideals. I do remember Skinner issuing warnings and having a more direct role in keeping the discussion at least civil back in 2008. That is sorely lacking today. Let me suggest that waiting until the primaries are over may just be too late.

But, who knows? He may be right - after all it's his site that's being turned into a sewer. If he wants to risk the possibility of this place being irrevocably broken by its users I suppose that's his business... Literally.

18. I was here back then and it was indeed awful

But nothing like this. I hardly ever visit DU anymore, and although I prefer Bernie's positions, it PAINS ME to see this blatant misogyny that masquerades as being anti Hillary. I think that the jury systems has real faults, and the acceptance of bashing women on DU is one casualty of it's failings.

I do not know how she can put up with the hatred, it really pulls me down into a sad place. I should not take it personally, but I indeed do.

I continue to point out to my friends that Bernie himself is not behaving in this way- why are they? But they seem crazed and frenzied.

Anyway, I find the whole thing really upsetting.

20. I agree. These kind of accusations do not help anyone's candidate, and it will only lead

to insults being exchanged, which will make it more difficult when a nominee is selected to bring everyone back together, and I am sure for some that won't occur

[CajunBlazer]

21. There's a simple explanation - it is the behavior of "true believer"

[NurseJackie]

25. That sums it up quite nicely ... astute and accurate.

[still_one]

19. I was here in 2008, and it was bad, but nothing compared to this, at least from what I recall

[Thinkingabout]

22. I want to be accused of being Castro brother supporters, Joaquin and Julian.

I love being associated with them, the Cuban ones, not so much.

[Coolest Ranger]

23. I know one thing

there is no way in hell that I am a Trump or a Regan supporter. Hell my first election was in 1992 and I voted for Big Bill, twice.

[yardwork]

24. I would just ignore that. That poster is not known for supporting gay rights.

To say the least.

A bunch of posters who are not known for supporting gay rights came out of the woodwork yesterday lecturing gay people for supporting Hillary.

Just ignore it. They got nothing.

[NurseJackie]

26. I saw that (them) and it was quite disgusting.

Last evening I asked my son and son-in-law what they thought about the whole thing and their response was as level-headed as some of the best ones here.

They winced at the words (I wouldn't even describe it as something that reached the level of "disappointment" or being "irked&quot but were glad to see Hillary's unqualified apology. Their support of Hillary remains unchanged.

The over-the-top reactions displayed here was a "blood-in-the-water" frenzy ... but nobody got managed to get a bite. I'd go further and suggest that in their frantic efforts to get a bite of Hillary, they ended up doing more damage to themselves.

27. it is obvious that it is just politicizing

HRC's gaffe! We got everyone's number. Nothing to see
