Is it just me, or the more their campaign goes south, the more smug, snarky, arrogant

[Feeling the Bern]

and dismissive HRC supporters have become? They don't seem to be doing much to win in roads into Bernie supporters. It is as though they are telling us "we'll get the nomination and we don't need your vote to win the election."

1. Glance over the titles in the Clinton group

Zilch about what they are doing to elect their candidate. Nothing about issues, except for an occasional gun control post. Obviously not necessary if your candidate is inevitable.

[nxylas]

2. Yeah, the posts in the Bernie group are mostly about Bernie

While the posts in the Hillary group...are also mostly about Bernie!

[eridani]

3. With plenty to say about his platform

And lots of participation anecdotes.

14. Keep working!!

I just received phone bank email today

From: [e-mail]
Subject: Here's what it will take to win


LT-

It's pretty simple. The more voters we contact, the better chance we have to win.
Saturday is the South Carolina primary. Then comes Super Tuesday on March 1st. Several other key state contests happen later in March. This is a crucial time to volunteer.

Volunteer now.

Phone Banking for Bernie - should list all locations near your zip code for you to check out.

9. I still see a fair number of posts about Clinton or Clinton supporters popping up in the

Bernie group, and I wish they'd get pushed out quickly. I know people don't feel as 'safe' posting those diaries in GDP, but they don't belong in the Bernie group. If you (general, not you specifically) don't think you can post something without getting hidden elsewhere, you probably just shouldn't be posting it in the first place, much less in the group.

5. This, I find, is their answer to all serious issues brought up about HRC

Certainly that is an appropriate substitute for an intellectual exchange of ideas, no? I feel like I'm fucking talking to republicans all the time now.

My favorite gem from last night was about HRC's classified email and when one poster was completely, but without substantiating their take, dismissive of the idea that this was going to be an issue with HRC and was given proof that it in fact WOULD BE an issue, went on to say that it didn't matter because she'd never be indicted for it.

HUH???

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. "I feel like I'm fucking talking to republicans all the time now."

You are. They aren't Democrats and they certainly aren't Progressives.

They don't care that she's going to be indicted. They want a female president. There's no other reason a Progressive or Liberal should be voting for her.

PEACE
LOVE

6. It's no different with the HRC supporters here than is is with some HRC supporters on Facebook.

In an unsuccessful attempt to open the eyes and ears of one particular "Friend of a Fried", I've come to the conclusion that it wasn't a complete waste of my time because the links I provided can be opened by others who follow her feed, my friend's feed, and mine.

Anyway . . .

After referring to super-duper-delegates needed to "rig" the election---and providing the following link posted by a "Friend"---I'm waiting for her comeback.

11. You know the repugs are starting to use that super delagate thing as a talking point now

And the more the HRC camp pushes it the more ammo it gives them while making more folks decide to just sit things out (and the current democratic primary voters rate drop shows).

But yeah. The snark level is going up and will be worse after tuesday. So get ready.

7. Yes - Camp HRC Is Alienating Progressives Daily

8. They're feeling good that it looks like the buffoon Trump is the opposition.

Which, in a normal year, would be good for Dems. But thanks to DWS trying to kill Dem enthusiasm as a Primary trick, to the Clinton fatigue, and the resurgence of all the drama that comes with a Clinton, even all of the voters Trump has been insulting may well not be enough. Enough people simply aren't enthused to vote for her, and my prediction if she is the nominee is that she will have negative coattails. She'll actually cost us even more more House seats, in addition to losing the WH.

[farleftlib]

12. These are my fears as well

Additionally, I believe they don't care. As scary and as probable the scenario you describe is, they want her at all costs to the rest of us. It's not a talking point to say she can't win the GE, the numbers aren't there, the enthusiasm isn't there, the blind loyalty to the party that DWS destroyed isn't there.

[davidpdx]

13. Yep

Some of them are so idiotic they are saying the primary will be over halfway through March.

Wait until tomorrow when you see the Hillary Hypocrites start threads saying Sanders should drop out.

[PDittie]

15. This strategy is reliant upon

Sanders people being herded onto the Clinton bandwagon after he is eliminated. The cudgel with which they will beat you is "SCOTUS".

No fence-mending; just guilt-tripping.

While Bush v. Gore was still winding its way to conclusion, Jim Hightower wrote that 308,000 registered Florida Democrats voted for George W. Bush in 2000 (and some people still blame Ralph Nader). Those Florida Dems -- 191,000 of whom were self-described "liberals" -- must not have gotten Barbra Streisand's memo that year.

Does repeating 2000's mistakes seem like the definition of insanity to you? Because it does to me.

The only rationale I can get to is that Clinton's 2016 PUMAs think they can recruit enough GOP voters who can't stand Trump to make up for what they will lose from the left wing of the Democratic Party. That seems like a very dangerous strategy to me.

[PFunk1]

16. I think you're right.

I think by now the HRC camp know that they PO'd enough Bernie supporters that they'll never get enough dems to win outright. The "lesser of two evils" path has all but lost it's steam and more folks are tuning out the MSM so what you posted is the only path for them. But I don't think it's gonna work, The DNC really f'd things up on this one. I'm just worried about the backlash if the unthinkable happens.

[mhatrw]

17. They revel in the fact that the nomination is rigged in Clinton's favor.

Last edited Mon Feb 29, 2016, 10:48 AM - Edit history (1)

And they revel in the fact that scared, old, black, and low information voters and voters who get all their news from corporate media outlets support Clinton.

And that and any polls that show Clinton currently winning are all they ever post about or talk about. Ever.

[PFunk1]

18. And as a black Bernie supporter your post shows what I'm worried about

Namely a lot of folks are going to blame his loss on African-Americans which will hurt democratic unity even worse. Creating another group that instead of voting repug will just stay home instead. Much as I suspect Hispanics and other groups are doing now.
