Before the election, when it was widely believed that Trump couldn't possibly win, there were posts on DU addressed to those who had anything negative to say about Clinton: "I don't care how you vote."

Now, with the benefit of hindsight, people do care -- enough to express their opinions over and over.

Perhaps, along with or possibly even in lieu of calling them "assfucks", some lessons might be drawn for the future.

Your concern for my concern is noted as well. shanny Oct 2018 #56

What is your point, shanny? Why not call out those who fucked us and America over? SunSeeker Oct 2018 #59

My point is why call out people that aren't even here? shanny Oct 2018 #65

They are here. And that is very different from saying the OP would not be well received here. SunSeeker Oct 2018 #73
