A note about next week and primary results.

There's a giant load of "In your face, losers!!!!!!!" gloating coming from Clinton supporters on DU at the moment.

I'd just like to encourage everyone to not retaliate in kind next week, after Sanders wins in NH. We do not need to lower ourselves to their level.

Good advice. As a general rule, i look to Bernie as an example of how to conduct myself with Clinton n8dogg83 Feb 2016 #3

They 'won' by less than a hair's breadth and you'd think they won the powerball jackpot. It just speaks to how nervous they actually were/are in spite of the bluster.

We can expect Sanders to win NH. If he wins by less than 1% I wouldn't be on here posting *bounce* smilies. When he wins NH, I think we need to immediately turn to SC and NV and get to work. Not be gloating.

supporters. The truth is, one side will need the other side's help no matter who is the nominee. Arguably, Clinton will need Bernie supporters more to help her win than Bernie needs her supporters.

If they're goading this much with a .2% victory, and Bernie wins by 20%, does that mean we can goad 100x more?

No we can't it is not physically possible. It would take millions of hours to do so.
