One. That is with approximately 90 % of active users in this forum being Sanders supporters. There are a number of pro-Clinton ops.
Sanders supporters, overall, stopped supporting him a while back. It's simply Clinton opposition at this point.
It's over.

(99,719 posts)There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers.

(30,481 posts)I guess the people here really didn't think his message resonated. You think they gave up promoting him and went to strictly attacking Clinton to keep the corporate overlords happy. Nah. That makes zero sense.

In the real world, California is 46% to 44% with a 6% MOE

(30,481 posts)Not GD. P. The part about the lack of support for Sanders was about GD. P.
Cali won't even come close to closing the gap. The gap might even expand as you highlighted.

(7,231 posts)You tell them that their opinions aren't welcome, then deride their opinions as "over" because they take the hint and take their supportive articles elsewhere.
It's people like you who will be responsible if the Democratic Ticket goes down in November.

(2,052 posts)but for months we asked (actually begged) Clinton supporters to offer issues based OPs as to why HRC should be the nom and were stonewalled and given day after day of anti-Bernie posts.
Shoe is on the other foot indeed. Not denying the anti-Clinton posts. But lest we forget that many of us wanted issues based disagreements and got nothing in return.
Let's just be honest about it. Neither side has been particularly pristine here this cycle. And there are several 15+ hide authors on one side to prove it.

There are still two weeks before attacks on HRC no longer will be tolerated. As we get closer and closer to Skinner's deadline, GD-P is bound to become crazier and crazier. Fearing that their prized ideas for rehashing old attacks on Hillary will be scrubbed, BoB lunatics will go manic in posting and kicking them, regardless how little sense they make. On the day of the deadline, "Message deleted" will become the most popular post. Then the BoB crowd will have to find other websites to spam.
