Hillary Clinton Supporters, heres a tip

[William769]

Do not "relent to hatred," but to battle it with "whimsy and beauty and laughter and love."

That's who we are.

[hrmjustin]

1. Absolutely! We must rise above others pettiness.

Well said Bill!

[riversedge]

2. lovely. I will try to remember that

as I go through some of the headlines. I try to ignore the worse.

[hrmjustin]

3. Ignore works. I expanded my list.

[leftofcool]

4. Ignore list contains almost 200 people.

[hrmjustin]

6. Mine has over 50. I just need some time away from my detractors.

[OhZone]

5. <3 it! n/t

[Gothmog]

7. Agreed

[brer cat]

8. That is very good, William.

I try hard not to react to certain DUers who spew venom rather than discuss issues. I have never used the ignore feature, but I see no way to get through the primaries without using it or blowing a gasket.

I am undecided who I will support. I will not make that decision based on DUers opinions, but who I feel has the best chance to win in the general. However, I love this forum as a place to learn more about the candidates, and study them as their positions firm up. Those who are nasty simply drive me away from reading about their candidate. In my experience so far, the Clinton and O'Malley supporters are far more civil as well as welcoming to us undecideds, and I really appreciate it.

14. Hey Aloha, brer cat.. just want to say

[brer cat]

18. Thanks, Cha.

I like it here.

[Cha]

19. And, I

like you.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Some have said they will continue, doesn't mean we have to do the same. We have a great

candidate and this is a good reason not to spew hate.

[Tarheel_Dem]

10. I admire your restraint. A good friend, and fellow DU'er gave me some advice that I haven't.....

taken yet. It may be worth reconsidering now. I've done battle with a number of groups here, and I'm very passionate about the candidate once I've made my choice, but it's probably not worth an elevated blood pressure.

[Cha]

15. Hey Aloha, Tarheel..

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. Aloha Cha!

11. JUST THINK: In a Year from Now, all of DU will be Hillary Supporters

[CheshireDog]

12. Is that how it works?

I certainly hope so. That will be amazing. I skimmed here back in 2008 and couldn't stand it because the whole place was in the tank for Obama long before the Iowa caucus. Ended up posting on the Hillary Clinton Forum (I hope that comes back?) instead. It will be nice to see this place actually support HRC for the first time ever...

Why does DU always seem to hate her in every primary? I don't get it.

[uppityperson]

16. Welcome to DU and a question.

Who were you in 2008? Nice to see you again.

[CheshireDog]

30. Thanks!

Thank you...and what do you mean who was I? I never posted here because it was so anti Hillary. I was a member of Hillary Clinton Forum instead. Fought till the bitter end...have been waiting for this second chance for 8 years!!

[Evergreen Emerald]

13. I would love a picture of whimsy.

It feels....like flowers and smiles and...baby animals?

[William769]

20. Will this work?

[Evergreen Emerald]

23. Ha...that is IT

Perfect whimsy in the morning. I am calmer already.

[Cha]

17. Good reminder, William.. that is sometimes

too easy to forget.

[sheshe2]

22. This. This is beauty~

Kicked and Reced~

[sufrommich]

24. I love this! nt.

[ismnotwasm]

27. Sweet!

[ismnotwasm]

25. Because this is what they want

Not happening.

[Iliyah]

26. Phew, its rough. I shake my head and ignore majority of the threads

posted by the groups that have nothing but distain.

[William769]

28. I should mention that I try to follow this

But sometimes you see something that just brings out the not so nice side of you.

I think it has to do with the pile of bullshit you have to wade through, you just get tired of the stench and have to come out fighting.

P.S. but do try to use the OP as an example not an exception.
