Hillary Clinton
Showing Original Post only (View all)Can someone please explain the hostility at DU to me? [View all]
I ask elsewhere and am attacked. The scales here sure do seem to be tipped against Hillary Clinton supporters.
I have not identified myself as a Hillary Clinton supporter; I've only said that I would support her if she wins the nomination mostly because I oppose Republicans and their agenda. That doesn't seem to matter. I am for all intents and purposes painted as a Hillary Clinton supporter. I don't particularly mind that since I'm pretty sure she will win the nomination, absent something crazy. I don't like the smearing and don't see any good that will come from it.
I've been through the last iteration of this. Have we learned nothing or what?

Yes. It's short sighted, and obviously works against their own interests in the long run.

You hit the nail on the head. DU has been infiltrated by hired GOP disruptors.

Except for a VERY FEW exceptions, it's indicative of a Sanders supporter's tendencies.
