Is DU Endorsing Officially Hillary Clinton ? ...

40. I gotta say, I don't think people who support Senator Sanders with any

degree of sincerity would approve of sly, 'joke,' spoonerism-slurs. I am pretty certain Sanders wouldn't use or endorse that kind of talk at all.

We may have --or had-- a few people here who like to incite the masses,and they cause the true believers to say and do things they don't really mean. When you have a few "leaders" gaming the emotions of followers, telling them that they are victims and put-upon and worse, that some people might lash out without thinking. And some people, when they take a stand, can't back down from a POV even if they stray into insulting or bigoted territory. Instead, they double down and make a bad situation worse.

I think many Clinton supporters see Sanders not as the enemy, but as the 2nd choice. I don't think some of the people here who say they support Sanders reciprocate the view. In fact, I think some of them have no intention of voting for Sanders, either. Such is the nature of DU, I guess.
