(15,429 posts)Regardless of whether you supported a winning candidate or a losing candidate, do not prolong the agony of the last Democratic presidential primary by continuing to pick fights, place blame, tear down former primary candidates, bait former supporters, or do anything else to pour salt on old wounds.
Why we have this rule: Most of our members want this to be forward-looking, friendly community that is focused on creating a better future for our country. Continuing to rehash old fights that have already been resolved is divisive and counter-productive.

You might be thrilled to vote for her. You may do do grudgingly. But vote you must. Not voting is just plain stupid. And we're still living in the aftermath of third party or protest votes.

Don't post messages about site rules, enforcement, juries, hosts, administration, alerts, alerters, removed posts, appeals, locked threads, or anything else related to how this website is moderated (except in the Ask the Administrators forum).
Why we have this rule: The purpose of Democratic Underground is to discuss politics, issues, and current events. Open discussion of how the website is run tends to distract from our core purpose.

(3,675 posts)People know what is what if they hang out at the DU and posts like that just cause people to double down against being patronized which is the opposite of what is intended.
This post is not meant to imply I support NOT supporting Clinton on this privately owned site whose rules I have read and agreed to follow, it is criticism of what I personally believe are unnecessary and patronizing posts.
