Guys we have to go into battle mode. 'Bernie supporters' are doing war. Whenever anything postitive

for Hillary makes the news they go nuts and seeth with anger. Obviously quite a few GOP trolls in there ginning up a war. Use a technique from Downton Abbey times. When some gets nasty with you get nicer. If they get nastier, get even nicer. If they get meaner in response..take some time to think of something even nicer that maybe will give meaning to their lives like say something positive about Bernie. They end up looking and feeling like a Tasmanian devil mixed up in their own bile. Which is where they belong. They get no payoff. It is what they are doing to Hillary supporters when you think of it. We log on and say something positive about Hillary and get attacked. No payoff of thinking and feeling something good about Hillary by sharing for us. See how they like it.

Because of the hate, there isn't any bridge too far.

I haven't seen anything that ugly outside of Free Republic.

I made a comment, and as usual I was very careful, but would not be surprised if it is alerted on because I compared Sanders folk there to those Republican/Conservative/White folk who opposed Lewis during the Civil Right Movement./

It was a racist screed against Lewis. The sad thing is that it BARELY got a hide with a 4-3 vote.

Sick.

If 'the powers that be' have to go with the clicks - "it's just business" - then this is where I click!

And lately, I can spend all day clicking in Hillary Group!
