As a Hillary supporter, and for the record

[calimary]

43. Sigh... GUYS!!!! Can we STOP the goddamn PILE-ON???? PLEASE????????????

FOR PETE'S SAKE, guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid the one thing that will start alienating a Hillary supporter like me will be the overly-rabid Bernie Sanders supporters posting contentious shit here. Who mean well, but MAN this is just overkill, guys!!!!

WHY do some of the Bernie supporters have to jump all over some of the Hillary supporters here and try to draw blood all the time?????

You REALLY think you're gonna win some of us over that way????

I'm sorry, guys, but THIS particular OP deserves more respect than that. As I read this (and I'm still a Hillary supporter, for a lot of the same reasons, even though I do like Bernie Sanders), it's a Hillary supporter writing declaring that he will not go home and pout and sit this one out in November 2016 if Bernie Sanders makes it all the way to the nomination. He's declaring that he will be GLAD to support and vote for Bernie! It's a loyal Dem determined to keep the White House in Democratic hands in the most practical way possible, reaching out to the die-hard Bernie Sanders supporters with a sense of true teamwork and generosity, and an olive branch the size of a Giant Sequoia. And yet it provokes the rigidity and animosity that I see here? For God's Sake, WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM, guys?????????????

I feel the same way Gman does. I have voiced that same feeling multiple times here already. And frankly, I search this board looking for the same corresponding sentiments coming back toward me from Bernie Sanders supporters - if they face a Hillary Clinton nomination instead of one for their man. And I don't see a whole hell of a lot of it.

Which is really disappointing! And extremely troubling - when one thinks ahead to the alternative we may all have forced down our throats if all we're doing is piling on each other like this. We'll wind up with a republi-CON taking the White House!!!

I see testimony that too many people on that side ARE willing to stay home and pout and just not vote. Yes. POUT. I also see a lot of "well, I'll hold my nose and vote..." which seems pretty fucking milquetoast if you ask me. And if you ask me that, at this minute, that's the opinion you'll get from me because this is starting to make me angry. You guys expect us to give in and come along. Well, if that situation presents itself, WE can be counted on to do so. Sadly, I'm not so sure we'll be able to count on those in the Bernie camp to do the same thing or even a remotely similar thing. That is TREMENDOUSLY disappointing!!!!

And I don't like being angry at my DU brothers and sisters. BECAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE SAME TEAM AGAINST THE SAME COMMON ENEMY, OKAY???

Alright. Post completed. Flame away.
