Hillary supporters who still bear a grudge toward former Bernie supporters and can't refrain from

[kestrel91316]

nasty swipes are going on my ignore list.

And damn, I just emptied it out. Maybe that's the problem.

1. Are they doing so "out of the blue" or in response to something? nt

4. Non-stop

I never alert, but am tempted to alert on dozens of the anti Bernie posters that deserve it. But it doesn't really matter or help. They all keep their posting privileges no matter what they post.

Then they complain about the Bernie supporters.

13. For sure.

I was just on a jury--someone alerted on the OP. I said it was nowhere close to breaking the rules.

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I'm no longer conservative enough to vote Democratic. And it's very obvious that--if DU is any representation of the Party--the Democrats are not much interested in securing those formerly for Bernie votes.

15. Pathetic

Really pathetic

2. i voted for bernie and I'm disgusted by the behavior of the assholes

Who do it in his name .

5. I don't think they are true Bernie supporters

The ones that booed Sen. Sanders this afternoon when he told them to support Clinton and beat Trump are not his true followers. The ones that were interviewed on the street and said they are now going to vote for Trump are not true Sanders followers.

Most (I think it's up to 90%) real Bernie followers are now willing to vote for Clinton/Kaine. Maybe they won't volunteer for her campaign, but they are not out there being disruptors.

Those disruptors are the ones I am pissed about and they are the only ones I am criticizing today!

7. i agree . i have been saying this for months.

They would have latched on to anyone to hide behind with fake support while they spew their haten

11. It would appear there are an abundance of not true

Bernie supporters at the convention. They are by their uncivil behaviour going to raise the ire against Bernie supporters. Not appreciating the frustration of the nominees' supporters could be viewed as insensitive.

17. If they are true Bernie supporters, why are they ignoring his wishes?

Today he asked them to support Hillary Clinton. The video at this link shows the response he got:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/26/us/politics/dnc-speakers-protests-sanders.html

Sorry, but I will not be "the frustration of the nominees' supporters" when they disrespect their own candidate and every other person who tries to speak reason to them.

The party platform has a large portion of the issues that Sanders said were important to him - that is an amazing victory that will be lost in the boorish behavior his supporters are showing.

I have been telling myself it is only a small percentage of the people who claimed to support Sanders who are acting badly. If it is a larger percentage that are childish disruptors, I will be very disappointed and unable to have enthusiasm for supporting his issues.

18. The nominee is Hillary Clinton. It is her supporters that I feel insensitivity

has been shown to.

Sanders has sent out mixed messages ever since she reached the threshold number of delegates. At times his endorsement has come off as lukewarm at best, and it is this that the disrupters have seized upon to bolster their grievances.

3. Many of my Bernie supporter...

Friends ARE all enthusiastically supporting Hillary Clinton for POTUS, and the few who aren't live in safely blue states and are voting for Bernie--NO harm NO foul IMHO. Bernie's committed and all in for the Hillary/Kaine ticket, and for keeping that hateful, racist, misogynistic tRump OUT of the White House.

There are MANY Bernie supporters who are level-headed, good people who truly know what time it is, and that a tRump presidency--even for 4 years--would mean disaster for our country and the world 40-50 or more years to come .......

6. It is pretty nasty - I have just refrained from comment.

[ornotna]

8. Good luck with that

I applaud the sentiment but I'm not sure it will change anything. I've been here 13 years and now have close to a hundred people on ignore,but it's still just one big poo flinging crap fest here. Prior to this election I may have had up to 3 on the list. The hate is so thick in the air you can taste it.

9. Some people have no other purpose but to troll and trash

[riderinthestorm]

10. +1000 nt

[MyNameGoesHere]

12. I volunteer

[joeybee12]

14. If you're that clueless please add me

Up is down in your world

[madokie]

16. I hear you

I started emptying mine the other day but that didn't last long. In fact since then its only grown. I don't have time for bullshit anymore

[Egnever]

19. Isn't this OP just a swipe at Bernie supporters?
