Time out! Can I see all the Bernie and Hillary Supporters Please?

Is everyone here? Good.

Hi everyone,



Here is my humble request:

Everyone say hi and then say something nice about another DUer who supports the OTHER candidate and let's see how many nice things we can come up with.

Edit to add!: (Of course supports of O'Malley and all other candidates are quite welcome too!)

Sanders: can't be bought, refreshingly honest, laser focused on helping the poor & middle class, will sock it to the republicans, correctly calling for a nationwide grass roots movement that should exist long term.

Clinton: fights like hell for (mostly) good things, actually able to get republicans to vote for things that she favors, persuasive with legislators, excellent foreign policy experience and high degree of worldwide respect, most experience with health care.

O'Malley: track record of accomplishment, executive experience, incredibly fresh and positive attitude, genuinely unashamedly liberal, youthful and optimistic, putting out specific position papers that should be read by all, will probably persuade republicans because he's so cool.

Appears to be a very decent person. I think they are sincere and try to do the right thing.

Out of the more prolific hrc supporters, I believe that hrmjustin is one of the few who is an honest DUer. Others are likely moles, trolls, cavers, neoliberals, and disruptors of other stripes. Hrm does not fall into that category imo.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

In a nice thread asking for a moment of unity among different supporters, this poster makes an ugly, broad-brush smear about prolific hrc supporters.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Sep 12, 2015, 08:18 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Good gravy; I can't believe someone alerted on this. There were no HRC supporters mentioned negatively by name.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Don't call other DUers those things. Kind of illuminating to see this in a thread calling for unity.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh for Pete's sake!
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

I have every bit of confidence that the Dems will sort things out and pick the right candidate for the job. And I will be there on election day to vote for them.

I respect all of you for going through this meat grinder process to vet people out.
