I made a plea for civility. Now I have a question for Sanders supporters.

[hertopos]

Now, I am seeing a disturbing trend around this Nevada incident.

I read escalation of language.
I read posts that promoting 'any means necessary' as long as it is against Democrats leadership and Hillary supporters.

I checked uploaded voice mail using language such as 'hung' and 'kill'.

I read the language that suggest some sort of French revolution like events in a positive manner.

I generally welcome Sanders staying in the race as long as it is positive and civil.
Push as much as you want to demand more left leaning policy platforms. I support that as
a Hillary supporter.

However, please stop using lynch mob like language.
All violent revolutions had ended in bloody mess. Do you remember Stalin? Cultural Revolution?
Killing field?

Please be civil.

I am just so sad to read and listen to these language.

1. Party leaders should have followed their own rules in NV

[elleng]

5. Yes, and the fact they didn't caused frustration,

perfectly understandable.

[JaneyVee]

28. Now we're justifying death threats and misogyny?

[Ash_F]

31. Don't put words in my mouth

These videos are plenty civil and contain no death threats

15. THANKS FOR THAT!

I have seen two raw videos of this convention, and what Nina Turner and other party leaders who were there have well described.

I knew better than to fall over with round heels on that phony story about Turner getting the push-back. There was no such thing.

Boxer, who didn't even stay, went up to the podium out of order, disrespected party attendees and voters, LEFT, while Turner and Florez calmed everyone down.

And there was good reason to be mad. You can't get away with putting together such a poorly planned convention where people trying to get in had to walk long distances from the Paris, which resulted in 60 to 70 people who were part of this process in being turned away for a result of national delegates that carried by 30 votes!

Party chairs to this thing weren't fair. They were all Clinton delegates. The voice vote wasn't fair. The "nay"s CLEARLY had it. These unfair actions were even pointed out by other Clinton delegates.

What a charade. That chair ought to get the boot.

Not going to take this unfair stuff any more!

23. Was posted here,

so kind of spreading it around: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280196749

21. ^^THank you for this! nt

22. HI!

Spreading the word: Posted here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280196749

6. What is very telling

About this is the absolute silence of Sanders himself and his top campaign surrogates

[litlbilly]

7. you might want to read your own post. Then look in the mirror

[whatchamacallit]

8. Who gives a shit what you "welcome"?

You're an internet forum poster, you control nothing.

[.99center]

9. Oh crap, are you going to start yelling at us how you're winning?

[One Black Sheep]

10. That is a two-way street. Civility has not been shown by many Hillary supporters either

some have shown civility, but many others seem to be baiting the Sanders supporters, and rubbing in their anticipated victory, like salt in a wound. Just my opinion from reading threads here.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

11. Using transference to make us look violent. I reject this line of reasoning (but it was clever).

[liberal_at_heart]

12. The American people will not take having their democracy taken away lightly.

When I think of Revolutions I look to people like MLK Jr. or Ghandi. You can have a peaceful and yet very powerful and very successful non violent revolution. When tens of millions of Americans march in the streets they will have to take notice. I'm thinking about taking a bus or a train out to Philadelphia for the convention. I think a lot of Bernie supporters are probably thinking about doing the same thing. They think they can just take our democracy without any consequences. They are wrong.

[Txbluedog]

13. If Benie had tens of millions of supporters

We wouldn't be here, he would be the nominee

[liberal_at_heart]

14. Welcome to my ignore list.

[GulfCoast66]

19. Time to take to the streets

Since you can't actually win the election. That's pretty much what you're saying. And after the next several states vote it will be more apparent.

[liberal_at_heart]

24. enjoy your trip to my ignore list.

[GulfCoast66]

27. Finally!

I was wondering what it took to get ignored around this place. As far as I tell this is my first time on an ignore list.

Who knew it was as simple as disagreeing with someone. If someone takes offense this easily, then they should just talk to themselves.

[rhett o rick]

16. Some of us see the soul of the Democratic Party being sold to Goldman-Sachs.

We see this primary as a do or die to try to get our Party back from the very Rich and Powerful that passed Citizens United that we all were against until Hillary. Now the Hillary camp embrace Citizens United, Fracking, NAFTA and TPP and TTIP, Prisons For Profits, the Corp-Media, etc. And we have to fight for the soul of our Party, the Party of the People not Goldman-Sachs.

Those of you that support corporatism, get out of our Party, find your own Party.

[akbacchus_BC]

18. rhett, America is not ready for a third party, you know that!

I wished Mr. O'Malley got some traction, his ideology are very similar to Mr. Sanders. I like Bernie but we all know he will not get the nomination, very sad, but it is what it is!

[zappaman]

32. lol!

Oh, Rick.

[akbacchus_BC]

17. Am curious, are Bernie supporters so annoying? Where may I ask? I see both sides

getting upbeat but not disrespectful!

[2banon]

20. You're posting this in the wrong discussion board, no one here doing anything of the kind.

give us break. sheesh.

[MelungeonWoman]

25. Seems to me that death threats would result in arrests.

Any arrests yet? Any investigations? Anything?
I mean, after all, she is a United States Senator.


I heard about a guy who was arrested for punching Bernie supporters.

[AgerolanAmerican]

26. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

- John F. Kennedy

If Clinton supporters can't get on board in support of "free and fair elections", then there is no "civil" to be had.

The fraud is obvious, it is extreme, and anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see it.

If you are Democrats and you support democracy then you must condemn this travesty of a primary process.

[larkrake]

29. what the party did caused rage, so I am not surprised

I wont vote for Hillary, but I dont worry either . She wont get anything done, neither will Trump She will cave and become Repub lite, he will be sidelined. It is congress we need to focus on, to stop the regression. Passion can lead to bad language, Just chill out and vote a strong down ticket

[.99center]

30. If you checked the uploaded voice mail

Then you're aware that a phone number of a private citizen was posted here by one of Hillary supporters for the intent of harassment.

This is not civil

"Wendell Pierce, Actor From ‘The Wire,’ Arrested in Altercation Over Politics"

"The actor then began to push her, Ms. Baca told the police, and as she and her friends walked away to their room, Mr. Pierce followed them and tried to force his way in. In the tussle, Ms. Baca said, Mr. Pierce “began to hit her in the head and grab her hoodie, ripping the hood off.”

"boo yourselves out of this election.We have the votes, we have the voice, we have victory! Yay! Let's hear it for Hillary Clinton!"

This not civil

"Bill Clinton: Sanders fans would ‘shoot every third person on Wall Street"
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/276542-bill-clinton-sanders-fans-would-shoot-every-third-person

This is not civil

Go demand civility from the Democratic establishment, before they cause you guy's to hurt someone else.

[demwing]

33. Fraud and corruption deserves no civility

Revolution is building, I hope it will be peaceful, but Hillary and Trump seem hell-bent on averting peace.

[Tavarious Jackson]

35. There are many many death threats being investigated..

If you look at her facebook she clearly calls for violence.

https://www.facebook.com/linda.dupree

She is not the only one. I think people should take these threats seriously and have a video convention in Philly.

[LWolf]

36. This Sanders supporter

has a return request:

Please do not be part of the effort to spread this propaganda mischaracterizing the Sanders campaign and Sanders supporters.

Do be aware that every further attempt on the part of party leadership to silence the large number of Democrats who: 1. Are currently supporting Sanders, and 2. Have never supported the neo-liberal takeover of the party, can only move the Party further and further away from a win in November. Do not attempt to minimize the honest anger against the party establishment; it only feeds that anger.
