However, the TOS mean DUers would be expected to support, or at least not speak against, the eventual nominee.

Our membership, like the Democratic Party, is vast and varied. However, the site does endorse the Democratic candidate.

DU does not "endorse" primary candidates. We duke it out while the rest of the nation dukes it out.

Then, when the nominee becomes apparent, and especially when the DNC has formally nominated a candidate, DU's rules regarding supporting the nominee come into play.

Per the TOS we all sign, DU exists to support Democratic officeholders and Democratic candidates. Not Greens, Independents, Libertarians, Socialists, Wobblies, or Republicans. And it is counterproductive as hell to refight the primaries.
