2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLots of talk of whether the Hillary bashing will continue through the 16th.
Although I understand the admins reasons for this... And it is their site and their rules. I am very sad we will not be able to celebrate this historic happening void of attacks on Hillary and the Democratic Party. It is official, afterall, that Hillary has clinched.

(1,220 posts)Keep talking loud and proud for Hillary, and try to avoid attacks on Sanders...just focus on personal attacks on our new nominee.

(7,769 posts)Someone is actually getting paid to post for Sec. Hillary Clinton as I type this.
Haven't seen astroturfed support for Sen. Sanders. He does not need it.
anotherproletariat
(1,446 posts)realize that those on DU are pretty well dug into their positions. The paid Hillary people are on 'lighter' sites.
But, this is the perfect place for Shillies to pretend to be BoBers and keep unity from happening.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other...

(23,018 posts)The ones so desperate who call for Sanders to wait his turn and for his supporters to get in line.

(37,748 posts)Only in facts, huh? What's your support for this most creative, naive and imaginative premise?
The FBI deals only in facts. That is so adorable-- playing innocent and naive if naivety and innocence suits the current narrative.

Brace yourself.
Should HRC run against Trump, these days on DU will seem like a game of patty cake in comparison.
And should HRC win the WH, hell will be loosed on the American people every freaking day.
There will be no peace in the land. The Clinton drama will saturate everything. They always engage in reckless, narcissistic, paranoid behavior. They always attract suspicion and corruption.
And you Hillary supporters will be responsible.

(2,461 posts)If they are repubs bashing the Dem Party - report them as usual. The Hillary non-support is only 7 more sleeps! Then, the icky name calling will end, but the truth, and constructive criticism of the best way forward will not go away, so better for all the fragile to get immunized quick!

I have been giddy like a little kid since I woke up yesterday. I sure wasn't expecting what happened last night. Last night didn't really matter much as we all know Clinton has won. Time to celebrate for a couple of days. Maybe our joy will be contagious.

(14,915 posts)The exodus of Bernie folks has already started, you guys pretty much have the board, or will soon enough, plus you have your 'safe space'.
What kind of celebrating do you think you are going to be forbidden from doing?

(14,915 posts)the only 'bashing' going on is Hillary supporters bashing Bernie supporters for something that hasn't happened. If you want to enjoy the moment, enjoy the moment.

(546 posts)I voted for Hillary Clinton in today's California Primary. Hillary Clinton has been bashed for the last twenty-five years and if she is elected the bashing will only intensify. When you are in the middle of the road, you take flak from the left and from the right but if you are in the middle of the road, driving a Sherman tank, the flak becomes irrelevant.
I suggest that some Hillary supporters need to be more like her and grow thicker skin.

(33,224 posts)"To announce there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public" -- Theodore Roosevelt
So your answer is yes. The Hillary bashing will continue. That's what she signed up for.
(S)he should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by (her) good conduct or bad conduct, (her) efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about (her) acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame (her) when (s)he does wrong as to praise (her) when (s)he does right.
