I swear I am staying away until after June.
This entire site has been hijacked by Sanders supporters. I feel confident that many of the most vocal are really Republicans trolling as supporters. Every single republican I know would rather run against Bernie than Mrs. Clinton. The ads, as I have said before, write themselves.
I was on a jury the other day and I was shocked at what they agreed to hide. Anything positive about Hillary and negative about Bernie and they vote to hide, not discussion. Anyone who disagrees with them are not true "progressives", not sure what I have been all these years.
I need to stay away from here for a while it is bad for my blood pressure.

Had my Hillary sign stolen again last night, I am losing my patience 
.
On the other hand, consider that it may have been taken by an ardent Hillary supporter who couldn't afford her own and was too embarrassed to admit it. It's now proudly adorning her apartment window.
than out in the real world trying to change minds there...that's why I go to GD
from time to time an throw out a little red meat. Trust me, it takes nothing mean, just some mention of how she was a private citizen when she gave talks to corporations, or how she has been shown to be the most honest of any presidential candidate.
It's the same reason I will try and keep those awful telemarketers/scammers on the phone as long as possible. I figure if they are tied up with me (usually I have them on speaker while going about my regular tasks) then they are less likely to prey on poor seniors or other more trusting people. Same reasoning here...give them stuff to respond to on DU, and they are less likely to be harmful in the larger community.

The negative one (against-Hillary) stays on the front page while the positive-affirming one (pro-Bernie) keeps falling off, though I did add "Fauxcialist" to it as my daily snark.
But relax a little as many of their 'chance to serve on jury' are slowly tanking to 0% and, if you don't comment in threads that most of them have, you can serve on a jury related to that thread.
If you see something anti-Hillary don't post in it, just wait for an alert.
It's not 18 hours between service anymore, either; I served with 12 hours in between... either that or DU is running out of eligible jurors.
...and that's why I never venture outside this group anymore. I see enough of the Hillary bashing on every other site, plus in the real world.
This weekend I was visiting family and my sister-in-law casually asked who I was voting for. Her response when I said Hillary was, "Ew...but no one likes her!" Then I saw my cousin (a lifelong Dem) and he said, "Unfortunately, it looks like we won't get the good candidate, Sanders..." I asked him why he didn't like Hillary and he said,"I can't trust her any farther than I can throw her."
If this lasts much longer, I think my health will start to suffer...lol. The mindless anti-Hillary sentiment infuriates me. Neither my sister-in-law or my cousin really knows much about Clinton - they're just parroting what they hear their friends say.
We should all stay away and let them have their echo chamber. We can party together here on Tues. night. I'll bring popcorn.
