I just want the primary season to end. It's making people mean.

But I have to draw the line sometimes. There's one now about "if you had to describe Hillary in one word" that I know would be too much stupid in one place, unhealthy amounts. Like cats. One or two are okay, but hundreds -- assholes everywhere you look.

I've been elsewhere lately. I try not to take it too seriously but wow, some of the stuff I see here is beyond ridiculous.

Too much time for endless speculation, both in the media and here.

The only thing that is real is the vote.

It has nothing to do with the primaries or candidates . One could have their own opinion on whether the humor on snl was acceptable. But the poster mentions her own daughters problem with drug addiction and she gets attacked for supporting Clinton.

How are people like this supposed to be progressives. I only see hate from sime of them.

Someone talks about addictions problems of her kid, and people bring the primaries into it and get nasty because the mom is a Hillary supporter. I see two really mean people in that thread are flagged for review, but who knows what'll happen.

It is indeed possible to support a candidate and not be mean to the people supporting other candidates.

Hopefully the admins will 'flag' their hateful asses right out the door.

And on a weekend. It was the right thing to do. That was a painful thread to read, even without the attacks.
