The Sanders supporters are chewing away on stinky sour grapes yet again.

Last edited Sun Feb 28, 2016, 09:26 AM - Edit history (1)

Blaming this and blaming that. Denial denial denial.

The reason why Dem turnout is lower than R turnout inn SC is far few candidates on the Dem side, a given that Clinton was going to win, and more R's in the state.

Bernie LOST and LOST bigtime. It was never a contest. For the sour grapes chompers we must ask you, where was the "revolution"?????

On Super Tuesday the Sanders campaign is DONE. No hope. FINISHED. This overwhelming win boosts Clinton even further, and she will DOMINATE in a few days. Sanders will simply not be able to catch her from there.

Bernie's campaign will go down in history as him being a good man but simply too much of a leap.

And anyone who doesn't think Hillary Clinton will DESTROY FrankenTrump is living in a fantasy world. He is our DREAM opponent. The opportunities to tear him to shreds are ENDLESS. And she and her team will do just that. Oh, this is going to be FUN.

No sour grapes here. That SC would be a win for Clinton was expected. That Sanders is still in the race, is going to continue to win delegates, and that we're going to continue to support him is also expected.

And, finally, lots of attacks on Sanders supporters...also expected. We've been conditioned to expect it. For myself, I became desensitized months ago.

But please...enjoy your vindiction.

Go ahead, continue to rub this loss in Sander's supporters faces as if you were rubbing the nose of a puppy who defecated on the floor in its own feces. Like it or not Hillary, if she is the nominee, will need the entire party and progressive leaning independents.

I realize that you are just an anonymous poster on a message board but this sort of thing is simply classless and turns people off.

People like you give them a bad rap on the internet. Maybe you're a troll, maybe you're just a jerk. But you're not representative of Hillary Clinton voters.

There's quite a few of you around here. Makes me wonder if there's not a designed plan to keep the left at home in the fall.

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

Mail Message
On Sat Feb 27, 2016, 09:23 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

You are one of the most hateful & devisive posters on DU.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1358118

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

A direct attack on a member is a violation of the terms of service, I believe. Being disappointed is no excuse.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Feb 27, 2016, 09:30 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Once again, an expectation of blind loyalty to a candidate who isn't a Democrat. This goes WAY too far and needs to GO!
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: OTT personal attack
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I like this poster, but the only time I vote to hide is a personal attack. And sadly, this is one. Sorry. Can't we all just get along?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster is right in their response to a very divisive poster.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I was #6
