The other day I'd had enough and swore I was leaving DU
I've changed my mind, I'm not going to let the belligerent, and repulsive Sander's supporters run me off. I decided that I want to be around when Sanders drops out and endorses our next President.

hang in there, NEDEM! lol

-- if your preferred candidate wins, that is. Personally I think if Sanders were to lose, I would be much too depressed to hang around DU and watch people rub salt in the wound. This place could very well become a ghost town if there are a lot of people like myself (and I'm sure there are). So you might not have much of an audience if you were planning to do some gloating.
I certainly wouldn't blame Clinton supporters from taking a break from DU if Sanders were to win, either.
But since there are a lot more Sanders supporters, it could get a bit lonesome around here for awhile if what you are hoping for comes to pass.
At any rate, it's good to not let anyone run you off the board.
come back and trash her morning noon and night! It will be just like now only better! Every time she has to do anything that isn't pie-in-the-sky pure you might get the urge to call her a Used Car Saleswoman and you will be able to!
Bernie supporters only have to stop their Hate Hillary threads for a few months so no biggie.
Since the majority of the hosts here are Sanders acolytes, and given that hosts can only shut down threads based on the first post in the thread, it will fall to the admins to do the bulk of the slashing and burning. I don't think they'll be too inclined to get overly involved in negotiations. They'll either ignore until it sorts itself out, or they'll just cut out the worst of the trolls and move forward, hoping the agitators operating under the radar take a hint and back off, or at least tone it down.
I think we'll see those "community standards" come under a bit of pressure in the immediate post-primary season.
We don't know if Skinner is going to have a seven day Gloat Fest or not, as outlined at that link:
We understand that not everyone will be prepared to immediately put the primaries behind us. There will be some jerks on the winning side who insist on gloating. And there will be some sore losers on the other side who will want to keep attacking the nominee. Once we have a presumptive nominee, those people will have one week to get it out of their systems. We believe that a one-week transitional period is more than fair for those of you who cannot switch gears easily or quickly. After this week-long adjustment period, we're done.
At that point, the moderators and admins will step in and shut down the primary infighting. The vast majority of people on this site will be glad to be done with the primaries. Sadly, a very small number of bitter partisans will not be able to let it go, and will likely be removed from this community. Few people will miss them when they are gone.
As usual, we will continue to permit constructive criticism of the Democratic nominee and of other Democratic candidates and officeholders. We will also continue to permit sincere, non-disruptive expressions of ambivalence toward the nominee. But we will not permit politically motivated attacks designed to tear down the Democratic presidential nominee.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it addresses many of the questions that you have about the presidential election. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in this thread and we will do our best to respond.
Thank you for your understanding, and thank you for being a part of our community.

The TOS says that primary season is over when we have two general election nominees. Now, that means, presumably, that Clinton could beat Sanders like a rented mule on Super Tuesday, and we have a de facto candidate before the first daffodils bloom in New England, but "technically" the contest isn't over until the GOP sorts out their clusterfuck:
I think a lot of the people who left DU after the Sanders people got real ugly will come back. This is Democratic Underground.
after being banned twice by the "unnamed candidate" police force that rules with an iron fist on DU and its "unnamed candidate" packed juries.
I've been posting here a long time and that crap has never happened before this primary season. But I'm not going to let them run me off.
This is still supposed to be a pro democratic party site, and so am I. I can't wait to see who else is an actual democrat when Hillary takes the nomination in a landslide over all the other candidates!!
DU is really going to be a fasinating place after Super Tuesday, I can't wait!! 
The notion of reaching into our protected "safe haven" - the only place on DU we have without the Hillary-hating ridiculous snark - to further censor us, to be one vote away - well, this makes me apoplectic. 
I have nothing bad to say about Senator Sanders (I-VT) but the association in my mind of the BS supporters and the man himself - their relentless crusade to silence fair competition - just reminds me how effed up people are and the internet is.
They seek the ruin of this place.
