1. is now???

it has been a cesspool for months and months. The left fringe is worse than the right wingnuts. It should be renamed the Drudge Report with Rush the Pigboy Limbaugh.

I can't wait till Super Tuesday when the Board can be returned to Democrat(ic) control.

[Metric System]

3. I feel like it has really worsened lately. There's a bombardment of nastiness and negativity that

I never thought I'd see directed at a leading Democrat on a Democratic forum.

[Cha]

8. And, it still says everything about them and absolutely nothing about their target.

It's actually quite pathetic.

[NanceGreggs]

2. Well, after all the incredibly vile things ...

... that have been posted about Obama on this site, you had to figure that Hillary was next in line for the "democrats" on DU to go after.

Hey, I'm soooo old, I remember when DemocraticUnderground declared itself a Democrtic-supporting site - and actually meant it!

[shenmue]

5. It was in the TOS, even.

[NanceGreggs]

6. Yes, it was.

And once upon a time - in a DU land far, far away - the terms of the TOS were actually enforced.

[Cha]

9. +1!

[workinclasszero]

38. The TOS?

Oh the rule that is never enforced?

Yeah thats a joke, just like the jury system.

[Stuckinthebush]

51. Ah, Nance! I remember those days

When DU was actually a site that celebrated all Dems. Seems like a generation ago!

[mcar]

64. I remember when we actually complained about Republicans

Today there is a post in GDP proclaiming that Republicans aren't the problem. You guessed it, Democrats are!

[shenmue]

4. It's evil.

[Cha]

7. Now?

[BlueCaliDem]

10. It's disheartening. Very disheartening. And then these poster have the temerity to say Hillary

Clinton supporters are the ones posting the most hostile, vile, and nasty posts about Bernie!

[Cha]

12. This is Hillary's Group compared to GD-P

No worries they always accuse others of they're doing.. just another MO.

BlueCali~

[FrenchieCat]

13. Just their projections

But they are in for a rude awakening...one way or the other, no matter which way you slice it! Problem is, it's not just them that will have to live through the misery Inflicted! They just won't realize how good they've had it!

[Coolest Ranger]

33. Nice try

Oops looks like you were explaining how they post my bad

[applegrove]

11. Those are GOP trolls ginning up anger amongst Bernie supporters.

It started in the fall. Then got quiet for a month after Hillary nailed the Benghazi hearing. I wonder why 'Bernie supporters' were so civil then. Maybe they did not want to bait Hillary supporters when they had such a great Hillary victory fresh in their minds. By December it was back to the 'gungeon' like mob attacks and tactics any time anyone says something nice about Hillary.

[Andy823]

65. Yep

Everyday more and more trolls come in, and from their very firsts post, it's all about destroying Hillary, and it's so obvious. They are accepted by our own long time shit stirrers, and they spend the entire day trashing and bashing. I think the majority of the "Bernie bros" are nothing more than right wing trolls who have swarmed the internet to make sure we don't get a Democrat in the WH. Smells a lot like Karl Rove's work to me!

[bluestateguy]

14. Yes I know

chock full of sexist bile.

[denbot]

15. I've been a part of this community since 2001, cry me a fucking river.

This is a progressive site, if you, and the candidate you support does not draw complete compliance, then maybe you, and they are not as progressive as you think.

Either way I am voting like I always do, with a big "D". I am a liberal/progressive, no compromises, no excuses, no paid Goldman Sachs obligations. What about you, and your candidate?

[pnwmom]

16. You are in the Hillary Clinton group, suggesting that her supporters here are not progressive.

Yeah, right.

[Cha]

18. All they have are ignorant insults.

[Cha]

17. Brawahahahaaaa BS fans are crying their own river .. all you have are ignorant cheap pot shots

Nothing to do with reality.

Case closed.

[betsuni]

19. Hahaha. Gone over to GDP to object that "cry me a fucking river" comment

not appreciated here. "Hillarynista's are running scared." Too funny!

[quickesst]

22. You need to get a grip...

... on reality. If a Clinton supporter went to the Bernie group and posted the same ignorant shit that you did, they too would have been banned from the group. You have a very weak case as justification, and the only one crying a river seems to be you.

[Cha]

23. And, now you've gone into GD-P and are whiniing about being Blocked. Yeah, get a grip.. if

I went into the BS group and posted "cry me a fucking river".. I would be blocked in a NY second.

The big difference is I wouldn't do that .. I respect their boundaries. you don't.. and you need to stop "crying a river".

[quickesst]

25. Clinton supporters are outnumbered...

... by about 6 to 1, but we try show compassion for the downtrodden majority. Here you go. Maybe this will help. If the color does not suit you, there are many to choose from.

28. "...but we try show compassion for the downtrodden majority.."

well put, quickesst..

[quickesst]

59. Thanks

I try.

[LuvLoogie]

69. The Revolution will not be pacified.

[Coolest Ranger]

34. We will cry you a river all right

when we make her our nominee

[livetohike]

36. First of all, who said it was a Progressive site and I'm really starting to hate that word. I'm a

Liberal. I am voting for the Democrat, not the Independent who is only a Democrat when it serves HIS interests.

When all you Sanders worshippers realize he is in this race to stroke his massive ego, perhaps we can talk policy ( oh that's right he has none). He has dreams, but no plans on how to achieve them.

His own colleagues don't even like him enough to endorse him.

[Stuckinthebush]

52. It's not a progressive site

Never was meant to be an exclusive progressive site. It was started as a safe haven for all Dems who were seeking refuge from the Bush stolen election years.

Don't buy the BS that this is a progressive site only.

[72DejaVu]

39. "complete compliance"

There you have it.

March in lock step with Bernie or be cast out.

They'd have us in re-education camps if they could.

[stonecutter357]

57. Don't Berniebro the Hillary Clinton (Group) .

[Akamai]

20. If Hillary wins the primary, I sure as hell will support her in the

general election, no doubts about that!!! Bernie too has pledged to support her in the GE if she wins.

But until then, Go Bernie!!!

[spinbaby]

27. Ditto

I will support Hillary if she wins the primary. I don't want her winning the primaries only to arrive at the general election as a damaged candidate. But I'm more enthusiastic about Bernie and will support him for as long as he's in the race.

[72DejaVu]

40. The perhaps you ought to try to convince your Bernie supporting friends

not to keep trying to damage her with bullshit innuendoes and repeated right wing attacks.

[NBachers]

21. Yeah, I'm so disgusted with the all-Hillary-hate-all-the-time that I'm finding other things to do

instead of swimming in the filthy anti-Democratic cesspool that "Democratic" Underground has become.

[72DejaVu]

41. Why is the far left "the base"

They are not the base. The way I define it the base are the folks who show up ALL the time. They show up in primaries for the state legislature. They vote in every off year election. They stand by the party even when the people they elect make mistakes.

That sure as fuck doesn't describe Bernie's supporters.

[Cha]

42. We're the base and Hillary is the best candidate for POTUS.

[Squinch]

29. Looks like Skinner tried to pour some oil on the waves, but it's too late.

He let it go too long without enforcing his own rules.

He's allowed his site to become a weird frat party. The togas are on and the twentieth keg is tapped, and there is no stopping the kids till they all pass out.

[handmade34]

47. sorta feels that way

&quot DU has) become a weird frat party. The togas are on and the twentieth keg is tapped, and there is no stopping the kids till they all pass out"

long ago, I used to be a Residence Hall Supervisor, ...I know

[Squinch]

50. Me too!

They paid me, so I took the job. Craziest job I ever had!

[metroins]

30. I feel like

If you said Hillary was having a good hair day, they'd find a way to tear it down. But if Bernie walks down the street, they go nuts.

If you try to post a Hillary political stance, you're met with vitriol, but Bernies ideas that won't pass congress get cheers.

The Bernie fans don't need to tear down Hillary in order to support their candidate.

[mcar]

66. I'll do it for them: Hillary's having a good hair day

Cause she spends so much $$ on hairdressers!!11!! Bernie cuts his hair himself with cheap scissors!!11 He's a man of the people

That's what it would look like in GDP.

[Coolest Ranger]

31. Do yourself a favor

trash the entire forum. I did and even though its not working for me try to trash key word Bernie Sanders.

[Iliyah]

32. K & R

[BooScout]

35. I barely post in GDP....

I may K&R a thread, but to post there about anything I will get alerted on. I always try and post positive Hillary OPs and they get crapped all over in GDP. They hate me so much they lied about me and spread the lies all over here and DI. They send me nasty pms. I'd say more, but they will probably alert on this post in this protected group and try and get it hidden.

It was bad in 2008, but never to this level. The hate, lies and smears are stunning and constant.

[workinclasszero]

37. It has been for months

But it gets brogressively worse everyday.

I'm about done with the bernie underground.

If I wanted to read and post at a democratic party hate site I'd go to free republic and take my hate pure and not through the fake democratic falsehood of the bernie bro legion of foam at the mouth Hillary haters.

These people are on a mission to destroy the democratic party lead by Bernie Sanders. He has hated the party and its members his whole life, as a matter of record, not opinion.

If the bernie bros seize control of the democratic party, Ill be leaving it for sure. i don't vote for fascists of the left or right.

[72DejaVu]

43. "These people are on a mission to destroy the democratic party"

Almost as terrifying as the thought of this ill tempered ideologue becoming Commander In Chief is the thought that he will be the head of a political party he hates, and be entitled to name it's leadership.

If Bernie is the nominee, his fanatics will purge the party's leadership all over the country, then when he gets destroyed in November, blame their own victims for the defeat.

[Freddie]

45. If Bernie is the nominee

I hope President Rubio turns out to be less vile than he seems.

[madaboutharry]

44. It has gotten much worse in the last few weeks.

Unbearable to read, actually. I don't remember if it was this bad in 2008. Now, it seems that there is a faction of Bernie supporters who are doing their candidate more harm than good. Some of his supporters are ideologues and in truth are no different than the ideologues on the right who are intolerant of compromise. As for the Bernie supports on DU, it would serve them better to discuss the reasons they support Bernie rather than hurliing insults and dismissing Hillary as an incarnation of Darth Vader.

Hillary is far from the perfect candidate. If all was right with the world, Paul Wellstone wouldn't have died in a horrible plane crash and would be running for president now. It is what it is. Hillary has great intellect, truly does care about the lives of Americans, and is a good Democrat. Is she as left as I am? No. Is that necessarily a bad thing? I don't think so. Hillary has proven that she has the ability to deal with very difficult people, hard right republicans in the Congress and crazy foreign despots alike. I think that is a talent that is one of the most important qualities in a president. I am not sure that Bernie has the temperament, that is why I decided to support Hillary.

[Cha]

48. Thank you, madaboutharry... Welcome

[Walk away]

46. It's incredible that the Bernie followers have to come here and the AA forum to....

crap all over the place. They are really bursting and oozing so much hate and Bernie Bile that they can't contain themselves in 99% of this site! They MUST spread their weird poison in every last corner!

Super Tuesday is going to be so much fun. Pop Pop POP!!!!!

[GusBob]

53. Friends, I read the posts with anger too

I READ YOUR POSTS TOO AND FEEEL EVERY WORD MY DEMOCRATIC BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE SAYING. Sometimes I feel like you could fit the people who don't hate Hillary in a phone booth
We must must keep the faith. We must must stay strong in our convictions.

IT IS NOT US AGAINST THEM. It is we and our future.

Forget for a moment about those who are trying to goad us into hides. Forget for a moment how we feel.

And think about what our candidate goes thru, has been thru, and will face as president. She fights with the courage of her convictions.

We must find strength and faith and knowledge in that, just like her.

Keep the faith all y'all we got this.

[Freddie]

54. I spend way less time here on DU than I used to

Can't deal with the Hillary-hate. Seems like a lot of people forgot that we are ALL Democrats and that the other side is who we should be fighting, not each other.
If it's any consolation, it's no different over there. I see stuff on FB from a Tea Party Patriot from Texas (nice guy otherwise), a Cruz fan, calling Rubio an "establishment RINO." Of course we all know that R's "fall in line." Starting to wonder about us.

[gwheezie]

55. Bernie supporters sound like trump supporters

When they get riled up. I doubt they act like this irl. No one but other Bernie supporters would want to be around them.

[Thinkingabout]

56. Thanks for your post, this is DU not PU, and as we see even

Sanders who made the progressive rule failed his rules. WTH, he WILL not come to the DNC and make the rules, Democrats are liberal, moderate and progressive and a mixture of all.

[stonecutter357]

58. K&R!

[sheshe2]

60. Hillary 2016

End of Story. Madam President.

[Gothmog]

61. It is getting sad on GDP

[wildeyed]

62. I mostly look at My Subscriptions tab now.

I took all candidate forums AND GDP off Greatest, and still the hate seeps through, so even that is useless..... I find the ignore feature to be useful too. I only pop into GDP occasionally when I am feeling chippy. There is so much utter nonsense there right now, it just becomes a huge time suck. I don't think it is actually worse now. It has been non-stop Hillary hate fest since this summer.

[mcar]

63. It was bad before; it is so awful now

it's almost farcical. The RW lies being touted on this Democratic board are like nothing I've seen in my 14 years here.

[onehandle]

67. Wait until the 'Not Hillary' Party gets their asses kicked on Super Tuesday. nt

[Satch59]

68. Great post...

Agree with most of these sentiments: frat party, Bernie supporters like Trump supporters...the level of hate goes against what I think being a democrat represents.

I too have been here since 2001 where DU was my refuge during Bush v Gore... Now there is no refuge with Bernie v Hillary... I look forward to when sanity returns in a month or 2...

[pandr32]

70. Certainly doesn't seem like a site for Democrats, does it?

[Dawson Leery]

71. This site, Kos, social media, have all been hijacked by his

supporters. They are as bad as the jackals backing Trump.

Sanders has no business running in the Democratic primary. He has opposed the party for his entire life and now wants in
to suit his delusions and ego.
