with all the name calling directed at Sanders supporters

[reddread]

what are we calling Hillary supporters?
I can think of a few things, but dont recall any particular nickname standing out.

is there a list of acceptable terms in current use?

[reddread]

1. #TasteslikeChicken?

[apcalc]

2. I haven't seen ONE name calling of Sanders' supporters...

I have seen people disagree with their positions however.
Stop with the primary school stuff...

[Matt_in_STL]

4. Bernie Bros? You missed that?

[LonePirate]

24. And posts are being hidden when that term is used, as those posts should be.

[AgingAmerican]

35. Wrong

You just made that up

[Duckhunter935]

36. No they are not

It is used all of the time

[LonePirate]

40. I have seen numerous hidden posts with that term. It just depends on the jury.

[Duckhunter935]

42. And I have seen numerous

Posts that have not been hidden. It does depend on the jury indeed.

[bigwillq]

49. No, they are not (nt)

[reddread]

5. of course not, there have been so many

"Naderite" for one.
plenty others.
thanks for your help

[Warren DeMontague]

12. Bull. The past 9 months have been nonstop shit-throwing at Sanders people.

It's been atrocrious.

Apparently no one was supposed to figure out that rather than debate on actual policy points, the game from the beginning was to craft a narrative about the supporters of the opponent, a lame caraciture of some purple-shirt wearing millennial white dude who drives his parents' volvo, uses a mac, sports ironic facial hair, and is some sort of stealth klan member.

The primaries are almost over, so of course now everyone is supposed to pretend like it never happened. Whatever.

[riversedge]

32. yea yea. We know. It is so

[Warren DeMontague]

45. I know you know.

And I know you know I know you know.

I know many things, no?

[LonePirate]

41. And the Clinton people have somehow miraculously escaped similar fates from the Sanders people?

I guess we all see what we want to see around here.

[reddread]

43. if only because Sanders supporters can and do concern themselves with more than two issues

getting Hillary elected and slamming Sanders supporters for being Sanders supporters.

[Warren DeMontague]

44. I guess.

[Warren DeMontague]

46. No, the Clinton people took criticism of their candidate as critcism of themselves.

Which always struck me as a bit off, but whatevs.

There's been no shortage of shit-tastic behavior from both sides, I'll grant you that. But I think there was a deliberate attempt to craft a narrative about one campaign's supporters that came directly from the other campaign. Hell, they pulled the exact same crap 8 years ago, and they certainly were recycling a lot of other tactics.

3. I always preferred Hillionaires

[reddread]

6. thats pretty good, hadnt heard it

i suppose they want her face on the Hillion dollar Bill?

[99Forever]

11. Seems to put their undies in knots to be...

... pointed out as neoliberals.

[upaloopa]

27. Seems to put your undies in a knot that you have one week left to say your shit here

[Trust Buster]

7. Sanders supporters have been using many already. Like "Republicans", "Third Wayers",

"Corporatists" and "paid Brock operatives". Your narrative is false. Sanders supporters have been calling Hillary supporters all kinds of things for months. YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM !!!!!

[beachbum bob]

34. lol....way to rationalize name calling

june 16th is getting closer

[Warren DeMontague]

18. I'm sure there are about 200 or so accounts that signed up in the 2nd-3rd week of May

who will concur with you that there is NO SUCH THING AS A PAID BROCK OPERATIVE!

[beachbum bob]

33. oops...they must have forgot...

[Fuddnik]

8. Hillbillies would be unacceptable.

[reddread]

14. and unwise

thats one demographic you dont want to mess with.

[larkrake]

39. very appropriate

[hootinholler]

47. And insulting to hillbillies

I prefer HillBullies

[pdsimdars]

48. In one older thread they had various suggestions, I liked one kind of like yours

but instead of "billies" they had "bullies"... .
I got hidden for that, even though I had gotten it from someone else's thread. But I think it fits PERFECTLY.

[seekthetruth]

9. How about no name calling.....?

I would call them sellouts, but that does no good. They support the candidate they choose to.....and I'm fine with that.

What I do have a huge problem with is this notion that somehow if we don't support their candidate we're enabling Trump to win.

The problem with that logic, and I'll use all caps for my Hillary -supporter friends so they can easily see this: HILLARY OR TRUMP.....THE SAME THING WHEN IT COMES TO THE ISSUES THAT MATTER MOST: ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMY, AND WAR.

Get it? Of course not, but you're so enamored you can't see what you're being fed.

[Lord Magus]

10. The majority of the vitriol has been directed at Hillary and her supporters.

Don't get a persecution complex just because fed-up Hillary supporters have been hitting back.

[grasswire]

19. how would you know?

You didn't arrive until the end of March.

[reddread]

22. is that so?

vitriol like "persecution complex"?
I wonder how that would fly in person?

[Blanks]

25. I stayed away for months...

And started coming back daily only after it was obvious Hillary would be the nominee.

It seemed like it was all Bernie, all the time. I don't really have a problem with him. I don't think a lot of the folks supporting him have any intention of voting for him.

I've said all along that is one just says that they support Sanders is a blank check to bash not only Hillary, but all democrats. I'm sure there are sincere Sanders supporters, but I'm not sure how to tell them from the plants.

[Lizzie Poppet]

26. Prove it.

I suspect it's actually been pretty evenly divided...

[still_one]

13. yes, the Sanders supporters on this site have been saints. Just like this thread:

[NCTraveler]

16. NCTraveler is good with me. Nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. ...

[Maedhros]

20. I just call them what they are: Hillary Supporters.

The definition I would give is:

"support neoconservative foreign policy, neoliberal economic policy, and a handful of hot-button social issues."

[MFM008]

21. 10 days in DU

work it all out people.

[SoCalMusicLover]

23. We Should Get Used To The Term "Crooked"

Trump is going to say it daily, or perhaps even more frequently.

For all the Clinton supporters here who are insisting Bernie concede, you just don't know what's coming.

ALL that stuff Bernie would not touch or talk about, all the investigations and Hillary's skeletons, will be primo talking points for the Donald, and his attacks are going to make Bernie look like the Pope.

[Blanks]

29. Trump has his own problems...

This Trump University business could easily become a fraud charge. There are steps that you have to go through to call yourself a University and Trump (and the others) didn't take those steps.

The press has given Trump a pass for about a year now, that's about to change.

[hrmjustin]

28. Just call me Justin.

[randome]

30. "Winners".

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[jamese777]

31. "Democrats"

That term works for me. Democrats who support the presumptive nominee of their party.

37. As long as you don't call them "liberals" or "progressive"

And certainly not "underground".

[larkrake]

38. just Hillbots, its not their fault they are unable to compute facts
