(12,504 posts)I feel calmer, and able to resist the anger. It's time to start acting like a decent human being towards my fellow Dems.
I can't however, promise anything with regard to Trump supporters.

(99,710 posts)IRL, when you tell people who you are voting for they will agree with you or try to change the conversation...
I do feel bad...I was in the sauna with this older guy who I usually get along with. He said "Trump will change America." I quietly said "For the worse."

(28,581 posts)You (not you in particular) cannot be a jerk to people for 6 months and then as soon as you need their vote, paste on a fake smile and offer hugs all around.
To do that means one would have to assume people are stupid.

(13,340 posts)Time to let it go and unite against a common enemy.

(28,581 posts)You all are going to need to give the reconciling thing some time, if indeed she does become the nominee.
Adrahil
(13,340 posts)I understand the passion. But we must unite to defeat Trump.

(28,581 posts)I am angry about the bullshit AP announcement to suppress voting.
I am extremely pissed of at a Duer saying that I supported Trump and should be banned. A person with 8 hides and NO consequences.
SO no, I won't have a cry. I will wait for the convention and then I will take some time to decide if I will vote for the lesser of two evils (in my opnion, i know you feel differently) or if I will just not vote at all.
Whatever I decide I will abide by the rules of DU.

(99,710 posts)If Roosevelt and Churchill could work with a despot like Stalin to stop Hitler sane Clinton and Sanders supporters can work together to stop Trump.

(28,581 posts)And frankly, if Clinton wins the nomination then her supporters need to avoid the urge to lecture and scold.

(8,311 posts).... but I'll still work with every person who decided to call me a shill rather than counter my argument because I had the audacity to state my own opinion and it happened to support Hillary, if they will work with me to defeat Trump.

Adrahil
(13,340 posts)There was lots of passion on both sides in the primaries. But it's over now. Time to focus on what unites us rather than what divides us. I can forgive transgressions against me, and I call for his supporters to forgive any offense they may have perceived from me and work to defeat Trump.

(1,442 posts)'But it's over now'
Keep thinking that... that's why you and all these other HRC supporters don't get it
This isn't a fight about party, it's about principle
This is RICH... and hilarious
'I can forgive transgressions against me, and I call for his supporters to forgive any offense they may have perceived'
may have perceived? can you be any more condescending?
can I introduce you to my boot? time to kick your 'outreach' to the curb
Adrahil
(13,340 posts)I look forward to working with those that supported Bernie. I think they have ideas and passion that can contribute to defeating the most dangerous GOP nominee in modern history.
You can decide to do what you will, of course, but I see no advantage to anyone in continuing to emphasize conflict and bad blood.

(1,442 posts)again, let me introduce you to my boot, your outreach is noted but punted
You have to do more than the usual 'dance', this primary cycle is different, and you still don't get that...
HRC is republican light proof here...
and there are so MANY more to validate my point....
Care to outreach over that? point by point?
Adrahil
(13,340 posts)If you choose to not support her, then that's your decision. I think that's nuts given what is at stake, but your decision.
HumanityExperiment
(1,442 posts)my decision is principle, if she stands on and supports progressive/liberal principles, that's whats at stake...
you're right, that's been my decision consistently throughout
I won't vote for republican light, is she continues down that path... that's not DEM principles now is it
