Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumSeems Every DU Post Not Made In the HRC Group is Hillary Hate
Is this what DU has come to? I've been here since 2001, and I cannot believe the home page these days. Every post is anti-Hillary, even anti-Democratic.
Every bit of RW crap is picked up and posted as if it's fact, and the Hillary haters jump into every discussion, convicting her of the slimy accusations made against her.
Skinner. Earl. If you are listening, this HAS to end, immediately if not sooner. You are enabling the hatred of Hillary and the Democratic Party by allowing this sewage to pollute what used to be a haven for Ds of all stripes.
Do something. Now!

(135,425 posts)nothing but heaping abuse and insult on me--it's incredible, really--pathological! I'm saving the insults for posterity, but ... damn! Amazing how mad people get just because you don't support their candidate!

It's not ending until all the states have voted.

(42,862 posts)... when their smears and attacks go (essentially) unchallenged, they honestly believe that Hillary supporters are "nervous" or "afraid" or that we are "ignoring the truth" and "hiding from reality".
This just makes them emboldens them even more, taking them further away from the reality that Hillary will be our nominee.
Yes, by virtue of their numbers, they currently rule-the-roost, and it's very frustrating ... BUT ... on the bright side, it will be very entertaining for me as I watch the implosion, the crash-and-burns, the flame-outs, and the bannings that take place in the days immediately following the California primary.
Alerter: These are my personal opinions based on my personal observations.

(297,935 posts)Good! Far be it from me to burst their bubble.. a prime example of that is the BS fan who came in here last night to give us "condolences and better luck next time".. poor things lol
But, we have something to look forward to.. very soon. When the States are Done Voting the Primaries are over on DU.
We have a GE to win! Mahalo, Jackie~
Walk away
(9,494 posts)revenge for being bullied, shut out, stalked and taunted than to watch the shock they will be in when their fantasies come crashing to the ground everywhere from DK to Crooks & Liars.
I honestly don't care if they get banned or whatever happens to them here. As long as they don't bother me. This is just an internet web site. I'm sure Bernie's failure in the real world will be a lot more devastating to them and a lot more fun for me

(6,551 posts)I still post on GD-P, mostly in response to crazy posts. Participation creates some balance, not much certainly, but useful to keep the forum from going completely nuts.

(1,473 posts)"... emboldens them even more, taking them further away from the reality that Hillary will be our nominee."
is going to make the heads of the fanatics explode when reality is shoved through their eye sockets.
It's really going to be fascinating to watch it unfold because if the current behavior displayed by Bernie's supporters is denial, I can't imagine what anger is going to look like.
Imho, that day will not be the last primary, it will be after the convention unless Bernie concedes.

(90,978 posts)I recommend you go there and just cruise some of the posts Skinner has answered. He's had it up to here, but is gritting his teeth and keeping his word about waiting until the last primary. One person asked if for any reason he might let this hot mess (my words) go on until the Convention and he said absolutely not.
There are several such posts and replies. There IS an end in sight. The man is seething at what has been done to DU.
So, mark your calendars, kids: June 7 has six states, and June 14 has the District of Columbia. June 14 we can party here like 2008, because my reading of his posts is that Skinner intends to restore DU.
Gods bless the man. This hasn't been a nightmare for just us.
Meanwhile, stay the hell away from GDP, LBN, and GD. Come here to the Hillary Group, visit the African American Group, and even the Barack Obama Group, which is still in business. Or discover some new hobbies and try out the forums for Cooking, Photography, Gardening. (I really should follow my own advice. Today was a terrible mistake on my part.)

NBachers
(17,170 posts)Articles that have nothing to do with Clinton or Sanders are being invaded and twisted with turd comments comparing the subject matter to some vile hateful Clinton reference.
I can't wait to flush this clogged-up toilet and get rid of these shit-weasels. My ignore list is growing, and I'm getting hides on my pissed-off replies to them.
Juror #3 says: "It's hurtful to call other Democratic Underground members shit-weasels."

(1,033 posts)Locking anything pro-Hillary as "analysis" while spamming any and all Sanders articles - heck, the mods post them themselves. The same with any polls. Only polls that show Sanders ahead or close are not locked. It's a joke.
TwilightZone
(25,512 posts)They seem to like three-week-old anti-Hillary editorials that weren't LBN in the first place.
northoftheborder
(7,575 posts)so I don't have to even see their posts much less respond- however - perhaps that has contributed to their belief that the Hillary supporters are few. I do notice their stuff on "Home" headlines but I generally come directly to "My subscriptions" - skip GD and Latest Threads.
Coolest Ranger
(2,034 posts)allowed this anti-Hillary crap to be posted. I have trashed it. I have trashed the Bernie Sanders Group and I have Bernie Sanders on ignore as my key word. Any one I find posting a lot of pro-Bernie articles, i have added to my ignore list. The site has now become tolerable for me

(2,117 posts)the rest are just disappointed. Not that I excuse their behavior, but this is what many people do when faced with losing. I was very pissed off in June of 08, and so I can't judge all these people harshly.

(2,792 posts)And the AA Group has withstood some of the worst abuse I have seen on DU.
Virtually all of this abuse comes from so-called "progressives," who wouldn't know a true progressive if they tripped over one.

(4,542 posts)This old white dude often finds 'clarity' on an issue there, and lots of time it's not even about the starting post. IMHO everyone should visit often.
I also think the AA community as whole is the most sophisticated voting block in the US.

(20,450 posts)number of "hides" and the abuse of the alert and jury system because they said something about Bernie Sanders.
And yet those trolls are allowed to stay and spew their filth.

(32 posts)Every time I stop by, it's a Hillary love fest over here, and her supporters are denigrating those of us who haven't knelt and bowed our heads to the anointed one. Hey--I'm not voting for her now no matter what. But don't worry--my State is so red that Trump will win no matter WHO I vote for.

(15,805 posts)but all Democrats just because he lost. Threatening to switch their allegiance over to Trump and defect from the Democratic Party, is probably the worst insult they can throw at their fellow Democrats. Its childish, but they seem determined to cut their nose off to spite their face.

1. Frankly I find it appalling that anyone here would think that stuff is ok.
Even during primary season, there really ought to be some minimum standards. Sadly, we have learned that many DUers will permit anything provided it smears their disfavored primary candidate.
Once the primaries are over we will have zero tolerance for that crap.

Thus, we have to wait until the primaries are over.
Ugh...
Squinch
(51,075 posts)ridiculous. Those who post that stuff are clearly trolls, so what is the issue here? They have no trouble shit-canning trolls. Both the Trump supporters and the posters who discuss molesting other posters with dog parts. Why are they here?
