It sure will be hard to court me if I have you on ignore. nt

1. Court you? For what?

[TheBlackAdder]

94. Not for nothing, but I find the ignore function antithetical to learning and growing as a human.

.


Even if you are so inclined to despise another person's thoughts, sometimes they are right.


To hermitize oneself just traps that person in an echo chamber of bullshit and ignorance.

97. It's total cowardice

If someone is personally targeting and harassing you that should be a bannable offense, but blocking someone because you simply disagree with their ideas is childish.

[Trajan]

108. Total cowardice ...

Would you make my grandma with her heart condition listen to political harangues, 'Or shut up ?" ...

'You MUST listen to those people talking mean to you ... if you don't, you are a COWARD ! ...'

I would tell grandma to tell you to take a long walk through a lonely desert ....

And I would tell her to block you ... that she isn't obligated to listen to ridiculous diatribes from mean ass people ...

She and I would smile .... Gone

[ContinentalOp]

109. I don't think I've ever told anyone at DU to shut up

But I apologize if I was ever mean to your grandmother and I hope her heart is okay. You might want to make sure that she doesn't go to any caucuses where Sanders supporters are present!

[still_one]

107. I agree. I don't put anyone on my ignore list, but it is someone's right if they want to

[wyldwolf]

2. NOBODY wants to court you and NOBODY CARES if you have them on ignore

[retrowire]

8. Hmmm, you might be one of the ones on ignore. nt

[wyldwolf]

9. and I don't care.

[timmymoff]

27. Neither does your candidate

and that is why she is struggling. America doesn't like what they see from her. We came , we vetted, we stayed home, she lost. (crazy ass cackling inserted at end)

[RepubliCON-Watch]

34. For me it's we came, we vetted, we voted as we pleased, she got blown the fuck out!

[wyldwolf]

44. For the rest of us, there's reality.

[RepubliCON-Watch]

63. I know, that's what happens when crap candidates are running, you get crap results.

[mythology]

103. Struggling being defined as having an insurmountable lead?

It's really hard to claim that the one with the most delegates and the most popular votes is unpopular as compared to the person she's beating.

And before you claim that it's all about open versus closed primaries, please remember than Clinton has won 11 open primaries and Sanders has only won 4.

[retrowire]

36. You sure are quick to respond to communications you don't care about. nt

[SCantiGOP]

61. And how did you respond to someone

who you had on Ignore?
Nice vanity post.

[retrowire]

69. It's not my OP. XD HAHAHAHA nt

[Hiraeth]

101. and yet, you couldn't wait to post in this thread.

odd, that.

[Demsrule86]

13. I have no idea why they think they are so important...

like their candidate I guess...I would imagine some will make an exit when GE arrives.

[RoccoR5955]

17. So, how do you expect to win a presidency

if you cannot court every vote that you can?
That is a recipe for failure as far as I can see.
Then again, I guess it doesn't matter, because Clinton and her crew are now courting Republicans.

[wyldwolf]

21. Bernie supporters are setting a great example. Wonder who's tongue they'll threaten to cut out next.

[RoccoR5955]

22. Nobody is threatening anyone

You know that there are a few bad apples in every crate.
I would tell you about the Hilliary supporters who have threatened Bernistas, but you probably would not listen.
Did you know that a Sanders HQ in Nevada was shot up? Here's a link with video: http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/police-probe-possible-shooting-at-sanders-office

So with your language and logic, one might think that a Hilliary supporter would more than likely shoot a Bernista.

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. By their logic we should expect riots at every sanders event

kind of like Trump, which is exactly the meme they are trying to create

[Logical]

23. You whine a lot. nt

[Cassiopeia]

30. Isn't that along the same lines of

not voting for Hillary is a vote for Trump?

Not gaining support for Hillary is gaining support for Trump.

I'm truly amazed at how short sighted many Hillary supporters are. The GE will need every voter if you want your candidate to take it. Look at the turnouts on the primaries for both parties. The Republicans are blowing the Democrats right outta the water. If you think even one vote can be spared......

[Jack Bone]

106. They were amazingly short sighted in '08 too.

Ya know what they say..."Time wounds all heels"

[LexVegas]

3. ....

[msongs]

4. soon enough DU will be for those who support the democratic nominee and you may be irrelevant

[silvershadow]

5. And, soon enough, a Republican will win and you all will be stunned and licking your wounds. nt

[notadmblnd]

10. There will be great wailing and gnashing of teeth

And I hope they all grind them down to nubs.

[riversedge]

11. yeah yeah. blame it onto to someone else. Bernie taught you well.

[Scootaloo]

12. Well, if Clinton fails to conenct with voters...

It's bernie's fault he hasn't connected with some sectors. It won't be any less Clinton's fault if she happens to fail in the same exercise.

The damned thing is... it could be so easy to prevent it from even being an issue, too. We're actually pretty easy to please; Unlike some voting blocs demanded of Sanders, we're not asking Clinton to know the ultra-secret special handshake that changes every half hour, followed by a backwards recitation of the "HMS Pinafore" while hopping on one foot without spilling a drop from a glass of water perched on her head.

Here's Bernie Sanders' issues page. All Clinton has to do is loot the shit out of that, with a pledge to support those planks' inclusion into the party platform. Then it's no problem. Doesn't even have to be all, but for fuck's sake, show us she's listening and willing to reach out to her own party.

God knows we see enough of her stretching both hands out to the Republicans, she could extend a hand to us too, don't you think? It's literally the very least she could do to secure her place as #45.

[Fawke Em]

26. Great post.

But I notice the crickets from the right-wing of the Democratic Party.

[timmymoff]

56. Please do not try to act as if you aren't looking for someone to blame for her loss already.

But while we are on the subject of blaming on someone else. Who do we blame for Hillary's e- mail and server kerfuffle? Someone other than Hillary, or Hillary? Who do we blame for her support of NAFTA? TPP? Iraq? Syria? Libya? Who coerced her into all these bad policies?

[Demsrule86]

14. Yeah well

The only joy I would have in that scenario is that you all will wounded way worse for way longer...always worse when you are just starting out.

[RoccoR5955]

18. And don't you know, they will blame the Bernistas.

They need that as a scapegoat for their poor organizing and outreach for the general election.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

75. Bernie and many of his more strident supporters will have to take some of the blame.

Bernie has been taking in a lot of money and causing Clinton to fight against two candidates. The Bernistas have really been more anti- Democratic Party than the Republicans.

So yes, you and Sanders will get a lot of blame if Hillary doesn't win.

[timmymoff]

37. If you think relevance is being on this discussion board

then I really do not value your opinion much anyway. Never heard such crazy shit in a long time. Everyone who is cool and in tune hangs at DU , be there or be square daddy-o. Wow, if you aren't on our site you ain't shite lmfao , sound like a damn pep squad or something.

[tazkcmo]

59. Just like the former Democratic Party. n/t

[Hiraeth]

102. who is the democratic nominee?

[MineralMan]

6. Court you? That's kind of old-fashioned.

Maybe just a hook-up, at first?

[Socal31]

82. Kinda hard to ignore my courting...

Kinda hard to ignore my courting when I give your father two goats.

[NCTraveler]

7. I see you and am looking forward to courting you.

[hrmjustin]

15. I have no intention of trying to court any Sanders supporter on this site.

You are going to do what you are going to do, and I refuse to govel to get you to vote for Hillary.

[timmymoff]

40. don't set the date for election day

I will be busy avoiding the presidential portion. Enjoy November

[Tavarious Jackson]

16. one night stand is all we want really Lol Just kidding

[Nye Bevan]

19. Silvershadow, Silvershadow, wherefore art thou, Silvershadow?

Doth thou hath me on Ignore, perchance?

[silvershadow]

38. No, baby, I'm right here for you :)~

[seabeyond]

20. Nobody cares what you do.

[timmymoff]

42. Yea you do, and you will care more and more as time draws closer

[seabeyond]

50. No. I have been in politics long enough, a family of Republicans, in the state of Texas.

I truly know when to kick someone ot the curb and not bother.

We will simply do it without you.

Be the PUMA of 2016. Looks good on you.

[timmymoff]

51. I could be even worse but i choose to just leave my vote total at -1

you're welcome.

[seabeyond]

54. wtf ever.

[timmymoff]

55. Enjoy November

you are aiding the Trump campaign. Once again I am not interested in hurting Hillary's chances, but I won't help her either. Mainly due to her supporters, so you cats get busy you have someone to sell to America.

[seabeyond]

58. You people are an hoot.

[timmymoff]

60. Yes it will be a November full of Hillarity

Aren't you happy with your position now? Why so scared? Why all the loyalty oaths? Is it because you are whistling by the graveyard and overplayed your hand?

[seabeyond]

71. I say I don't give a shit what you do. You accuse me of wanting a loyalty oath. Brilliant argument.

[timmymoff]

72. But you do care, deep down you know I'm right

Sorry to use the slogan of our Goldwater Girl.

[seabeyond]

73. This is sophomorically boring.

[timmymoff]

74. You are not required to respond.

You make that choice. I don't care what you do.

[Renew Deal]

81. It's better to lose without some people than to win with them

[timmymoff]

84. you mean like the gop mega donors she courted?

wish you would've clarified. I thought you meant me.

[Renew Deal]

85. I mean people with your point of view

[timmymoff]

86. Yea we wouldn't want a progressive platform

people are starving for the status-quo!

[timmymoff]

87. The new hillary chant

More of the same! More of the same! Yay, mediocrity!

[Renew Deal]

88. People want change, but not from people that want to riot in Philly

or NV, or LA. That's why Bernie is losing.

[timmymoff]

89. Who rioted again?

Can we get footage of this riot? I do not believe you know what a riot actually is.

[Renew Deal]

91. Sanders supporters in NV

according to Newsweek: http://www.newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-get-control-get-out-race-461195

And I've seen posts on DU from people saying they want to go to Philly to prove how tough they are.

[timmymoff]

92. Footage of a riot please is all I asked for

[Renew Deal]

80. So are you

[jack_krass]

95. If you didn't care, you wouldn't have replied. nt

[liberal_at_heart]

29. I know. I see three including yours. I love the ignore list function.

Makes this place tolerable.

[silvershadow]

39. I totally agree. nt

[arcane1]

28. I'm not sure what this is about, but I only see three replies.

That must mean something positive

[silvershadow]

45. So peaceful. nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

31. Don't worry. Evil Commandante Brock has you down as

97.36% likely to vote Trump for spite. Nobody's courting you.

[silvershadow]

49. Everyone knows how I will vote. I'm blue no matter who. My severe disappointment in Hillary

unfortunately doesn't outweigh my disdain for Tump and his fascist embrace, his complete and child-like cluelessness about things. The triangulation, unfortunately works on me only due to the circumstances. I will hold my nose and even possibly vomit on the Votermatic or whatever the hell it is called. But, I will do it.

[DrDan]

32. An inflated sense of self importance, I think

[LiberalElite]

48. Revisit that comment when Your Anointed one loses to Trump eom

[silvershadow]

65. She is already...Lawrence it talking about it now. nt

[JoePhilly]

70. +1

[WhiteTara]

33. Don't worry Trump is here to save your day!

[840high]

35. ....

[silvershadow]

66. .

[Blue_In_AK]

41. 36 replies.

I see 13.

[silvershadow]

62. LOL! nt

[Blue_In_AK]

64. I never used the ignore feature until recently

after almost 12 years here, but the rudeness and taunting of some was tempting me to respond in kind, so I thought it better not to see them. I'm still seeing several Hillary supporters here in your thread and elsewhere, but most of them are the reasonable ones, plus I keep a few for amusement purposes. I hated to have to hide so many, but life's too short to invite so much aggravation.

[One Black Sheep]

43. I don't blame you, some of the recent Brock shills are hard to take

[jwirr]

46. LOL

[potone]

47. K&R!

[salinsky]

52. Drama queens ...

[Trust Buster]

53. TYPICAL FAR LEFT NARCISSISM. TRUST ME, NO ONE IS GIVING YOU A SECOND THOUGHT.....LOL

[SidDithers]

57. You need to be courted? Do you also want to be wooed?...

You're expecting someone to come begging for your vote?

Pfft.

Sid

[silvershadow]

67. For those keeping score: 64 replies. I see 15.

[puffy socks]

76. So?

Who wants to court you?

[The_Casual_Observer]

77. Wanna join a drum circle?

[Renew Deal]

78. Typical. Different opinions are not welcome to some people.

[Fronkonsteen]

79. K&R

I see 17 out of 78.

[tularetom]

83. 19 out of 81

[dflprincess]

90. You know they don't think they'll have to court Bernie supporters

they think Hillary is entitled to our votes, just like they think she's entitled to be president. By election day they'll be telling us it's her divine right.

[dana_b]

93. 12 out of 92

[ContinentalOp]

96. Hillary should concede

If she can't court the all important silvershadow vote then it's all over. Might as well call this thing for Trump and we can all go home and call it a day. Silvershadow has us on ignore and you know what they say: "as silvershadow goes, so goes the other 100+ million registered voters."

[COLGATE4]

98. Yep, Time to pull the plug, turn the lights out.

[joshcryer]

99. Requesting to be added.

[alittlelark]

100. 27 out of 99... I must be slacking.

[Eko]

104. Am I on ignore?

[anigbrowl]

105. You ain't all that. nt
