"An antisemitic, communist piece of shit, or a wingnut infiltrator who hates humans and eats kittens."

Just kidding. .. that was a direct quote from the OP... don't kill me for quoting the OP. I realize some folks have thin skin, and/or no sense of humor.

The insanity is getting to me.

Democratic Underground.. a place for liberals to meet and share ideas and concerns.....

NOT

Seems to me to be a place for people to argue with each other.

I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter and will vote for him in the primaries, and definitely in the general election... BUT!!!!! If Hillary wins the nomination, I will gladly vote for a person who absolutely... ABSOLUTELY!!!! deserves our respect. She doesn't represent me EXACTLY as much as Bernie does, but she will be my candidate come the general election if she does, indeed, win the nomination. I just don't think she will.

Go Bernie. (No disrespect meant for Hillary Clinton.)
