The demands for Hillary loyalty are loud and clear on DU.

159. SUPPORT whosoever you'd like.

But if you can't support my candidate, spare me the mindless shit-flinging.

Disparaging, childishly piqued comments about age, appearance, and who someone stoood next to at an awards ceremony are beneath thinking Democrats, yet I've seen those remarks all over this supposedly progressive (yet apparently intolerant) board.

And when you start in with the Nazi references, (and in your own OP, why lookie there you did JUST that --you made a NAZI reference!!! Goose stepping, eh? Real nice) there's just no point in thinking you have anything worthwhile to say.

Adlai Stevenson didn't have a prayer, so your comparisons are not apt. He was bald (but not cute-baby bald, like Ike...he was bony-head bald), he was DIVORCED (and that wasn't done back then), and he Was Not A War Hero. You're comparing someone that the party threw up in desperation (twice--because Ike was a juggernaut) to someone in this century who does have a deep, entrenched following. You may not recall, but this is fact--the DEMOCRATS also wooed Ike because they wanted him on their ticket. The personality outweighed the party in that contest.

It's up to you to "change the tone" and tell people what's great about your choice, instead of trying to tear mine down --I won't hold my breath, though. Also, it helps if your "choice" has chosen to run. I like Elizabeth Warren just fine, but unlike way too many here, I believe her when she says--and she has said, over fifty times--that she is not running. Why is it that this woman isn't allowed to know her own mind, I wonder? If she were a man, I think people would have believed that "No means no" long before now...

Anyway, I think people who are advocating the nomination of HRC are entirely relaxed -- just not impressed with some of the threads seen here on DU of late. They aren't DU's finest hour.
