(10,558 posts)As you well know, there are a few Sanders supporters who have gone off the deep end at DU too. I have seen some posts by them that are embarrassing to say the least, embarrassing to the poster and surely an embarrassment to the candidate they support.
I am a Sanders supporter. Like you and others who have posted here, our candidate is taking the high road through this primary. When I look at the names of my fellow DUers who are displaying a Clinton avatar/banner/sig.line, I see many folks I have both respect and admiration for. Hell, even Skinner is sporting a Hillary avatar! (Well nobody around here listens to him so maybe I shouldn't use him as an example).
The bottom line is the mighty DU can be a force for good in this upcomming election, let's hang together this time and not drive any of our fellow DUers off in anger. Diversity is one of America's strengths, there is no reason it can't be our strength too.
If by the end of the day nobody from the Sanders Group has started an OP calling for better respect out of some of DU's more 'exuberant' fellow Sanders supporters, I will post one myself. This primary, let us all have each others back for a change. (How cool would THAT be!)
(Oh and that bit about Skinner....ok...so maybe he's earned a little respect around here too.)
