It looks like the Blemmings are swarming!!

First, they post complete trash without a link - TOS violation, flame bait, and probably an operative.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511914688
No hide and multiple alerts, no lock, and "protected".

Then they hide or lock OPs in the Hillary Group.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107127026
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107127039

Guess it's time for sabbatical. At least there are really good sites to post and discuss issues that aren't troll factories.

The only "negatives" that I see are the growing hate for Bernie supporters!! Even progressives like Thom Hartmann, Stephanie Miller, and Rachael Maddow have openly talked about the crazy attacks; even though many of us have seen it for a year on DU.

Never argue with an idiot--no-one can tell the difference! Bernie has been propagating a fantasy, and young people used to believing in alternate universes, while raised on video games and super heros with super powers, have eaten it up.

Senator Paul Wellstone was the truest Dem Progressive of our day.
Yet Sen Bernie Voted AGAINST Wellstone's Progressive ammendments when it came to protecting the poorest of Latinos in Sierra Blanca Radioactive Waste Dump.in Texas.
Bernie Sanders helped kill the Wellstone Amnendments that would have protected those people.
Why did Sanders adamently vote against Progressive Wellstone's anmendments?
Because VT made a deal with GW Bush to dump their Toxic Waste in Tx.

BERNIE SANDERS IS LYING About his claims of being some great Progressive warrior.
HE iS CERTAINLY NOT.
That title goes to the late Sen Paul Wellstone, who fought hard to protect Sierra Blanca. BERNIE SANDERS FOUGHT AGAINST WELLSTONE and FOR GW BUSH and his wealthy GOP mega-donor, who stood to profit from the Tx Waste Dump.
BERNIE SANDERS not only voted against Progressive Wellstone, Jane Sanders still collects her $4000 for being appointed to the VT radioactive waste board, even as an "alternate", doing the dirty deed put in place by her Senateor husband & the Tx cronies of GWBush.

Because Sanders SAYS he's a real Progressive doesn't make it true.
The truth is in his Voting against Progressive Senator Paul Wellstone. A true progressive would have been on the progressive side of Wellstone
But then, Bernie says A LOT of things.

BERNIE SANDERS IS NO PROGRESSIVE, you can read the story here:

It seems that new independents in CA may be registered for the American Independent party which is not repeat not the independent party. A month ago I heard there was an uptick in registration for this segragational party, we can guess what this sudden uptick means. Since the Bernies just attend rallies and don't actually work to GOTV do you think they are going to do the job to fix the registration. When she wins CA by larger margins they will be crying that she "stole" the votes and other things to delegitamasize her win but it will be their own damn fault.

...standing near the entrance to the parking garage, screaming insults and wagging signs at everyone entering, closing in so one had to be very careful to not hit one of them. They were a bunch of bullies doing nothing but turning off more and more voters.

After I took my ticket and before I closed my window, I called them "fucking assholes" and waved one of my fingers at them - it wasn't "we're number one"

Of the 1000+ delegates there, only a few had any indication of who their candidate was, of course they were Sanders supporters. I spoke to about 20 delegates from our town and towns around us - not a SINGLE one was a Sanders supporter.

Here in Florida, there are very few Bernie supporters compared to Hillary.

I started to take a picture yesterday, but I didn't want to while diving. I saw a car weaving around while some young person was texting (8 lane highway)! When I got closer - there was a Bernie sticker of course!

There have been a handful of obnoxious Bernie yellers outside the Trump rally here, but Chelsea and Hillary were but here without a problem. I think that now they have lost they are getting crazy.

Bernie gives them a blessing to act badly.

No, we'll take Hillary who will continue with his legacy and build her own.. and she has led her campaign with dignity and grace.. that's the kind of President I want.

bullies and bullies LOVE to silence opposition (so much for their 'progressiveness'). So don't take it too personally. We know that they know they've lost. It's why they're so hyped up and full of irrational rage. I don't go into discussion with overly sensitive people. They're not worth my time and I know they already know I'm correct.
