I find the Bernie supporters to be lively and full of happiness and humor AND, they post real articles with real facts.
A good example of the differences is from today, the latest. The Clinton campaign came out questioning where Bernie was back in 93 when she was fighting for healthcare. This is so typical, they come out with some big smear, some big accusation.
And what is typical of the Bernie supporters is that they push back. They push back AGAINST THE ISSUE. What came up was a video that showed Bernie right behind Hillary and also a note signed by Hillary thanking Bernie for his support on this issue.
A Clinton smear met by Bernie facts.
When the Bernie people put something up, it is some fact based article, like the other day regarding Honduras and her role, the Hillary people attack the messenger . . .the author is too left, or something like that. They don't address the issue. Then the photos show up and the reports about people from the area, etc. That show the article was true. But the Hillary people never acknowledge it. Attacking the messenger is all they seem to have.
I'd love it if this really was a discussion of issues instead of this attack the messenger, disdain and smugness.

I was tossed from the Bernie group forever for being politely critical of him.
So..............................................Look I loathe Sanders. I think hes to damn old period. BUT I will take whatever PILLS I have to to mark my ballot for him before I will let this country become a Trump rally. You had better get over your damn butt hurt if shes the nominee. Better think long and hard about your dumb ass logic that would allow a PRESIDENT TRUMP. (or Cruz) It will be an asteroid strike on this planet and if I can do it you had better do it as well. We have to stand together, candidates come and go, Trumps influence will be forever.
SO STOP. THINK. VOTE.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

rude and insulting

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Mar 12, 2016, 02:54 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I was going to "Leave It" but then I read this, "Better think long and hard about your dumb ass logic...", that is very insulting to the poster. No other choice, "Hide It".
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Sanders supporter here who thinks the grammar could use some work, but nothing out of bounds.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The language is a bit insulting but this needs to be said, and I say this as a Bernie supporter.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I would hide it except there is worse posted about the other candidate on a regular basis.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
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 don't have to see many of their posts. When I do it is rather funny - the post #'s jump from 1,6,9 or 1,4,8.

It's kind of a sad commentary- all they and their candidate seem to be able to do is talk about events that never happened or how people that were there really weren't or how their candidate really isn't what she openly talks about being.

Do the polite thing and save your blood pressure- ignore it. They aren't as relevant as they would like to think.
