2. I suspect that people will have to actively say that they don't support the Democratic Nominee.
They will have to actively advocate supporting someone OTHER than the Democratic Nominee.

Of course, for some this will be impossible to resist.

To them I say don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

14. We're planning on getting big high pressure latte-filled hoses and hooking 'em up to our priuses.
Look out!

5. Silly question.
There will be no "purgings".

When we have an official nominee, the rules will kick in and the healing will happen. With the exception of a very few, I don't see a "purge".

I do see us getting back to what we do well...working together.

8. Geez. Member accounts are turned off due to posting behavior, by consensus of the Mods and Admins,
but I think you know that.

As far as what happens here, post primary, please see:

10. The Obamites
have nearly chased all the REAL card carrying Democratic LEFT like me away. However, the destruction of our Party under the stewardship of sycophantic political neophtes will assure we start fresh with real Left-wingers again, the next time around.

RIP Democratic Party.

17. We are the oldest political party in the world
We have had contested primaries before, and survived.

We're not all neophytes, either. In fact, in my town, all the most experienced political types supported Obama.

The funny thing is that, from fairly early on, Clinton ran hard right, which is not how you win a democratic primary. I'm not used to seeing our nominee attacked from the left. The time for a pissing contest over who can lay a more authentic claim to the legacy of the American left is over. Now we have to beat McCain.

21. Such maturity from the self-proclaimed "REAL" card
carrying Democrat - "Obamites". Grow up, why don't you? Humility would be nice, too, but far too much to expect. I'd say there are a LOT of "REAL card carrying Democratic LEFT" people here, and their votes have been counted.

Apparently you haven't been chased away yet, though I eagerly anticipate the day. You've been outstanding in your disruption and Obama-bashing in your short but prolific stay here - it's such a shame your attacks will no longer be welcome very soon.

12. I guess playing the victim starts tonight, eh?
Have you no personal pride?

Your candidate has lost. If you don't want to see gloating, you have to first stop playing the victim. All that acting hurt has to take a lot of energy.

Sleep on it, and maybe you'll be mature enough in the morning to stop whining.

20. Just what the HELL are you talking about?
You've already stated that you're not talking about an admin purge, but rather a purge by "Obamites". What exactly do you mean by that? Last I checked, it was the admins who ran this site, not fans of either candidate.

Upset that there are more Obama supporters than Hillary supporters here? Guess what, look around! There are more Obama supporters nationwide!

GET OVER IT.
