(18,636 posts)...but it's clear that your beef isn't with the candidate himself, but with insufferable and uncompromising supporters here who attack anyone who isn't on their side with vengeance. No where in the post did you go after Bernie for running his campaign, but too many will read it that way and explain why you're "wrong" for attacking him.
Like so many here, I don't dislike either candidate, but have to endure personal comments that I'm either not liberal enough to post here or I somehow hate people's children for not going full Bernie. If Sanders somehow pulls it off, I'll be behind him without reservation, but I never want anyone to think I'm one of his rabid attack dogs straining at the chain at the scent of every Clinton supporter.
As a hopeful aside, I saw a similar situation here twelve years ago when Dennis Kucinich was running. There was a liberal pissing contest that brought out the very worst in people, but DU persevered.
