(46,179 posts)that there are hate spewers to be found in every group.
All of them tend to be LOUD and frequent, whether or not they are a minority.
The Bernie or Bust folks haven't spewed anything my way. I completely understand their frustration, even though I haven't joined them. That's probably why they don't hate me. I haven't attacked them for their position.
The Hillary folks, though? It's never-ending. Whether a minority or not? I can't say.
For 13 years at DU I kept nobody on an ignore list. In the last 6 months that changed. There are about 57 people on that list, and I've yet to clear them out. I may never do so. That's 57 people that I found to be hateful; to be part of the problem. Not because we disagreed, but because of they way they trashed, not Sanders, but his supporters. And that's key.
What's left? It's milder, but the trashing of Sanders and his supporters is still ongoing right here, even with all those hides. Truly, there is a great deal that happens here that I don't see and don't miss.
Which is why I'm spending most of my time elsewhere. I really don't have much to talk about here, and what I do have to say is either not allowed or is not something anyone else wants to discuss. It's not the GE, it's not the Republicans, it's not the Olympics, so it doesn't really fit. Which is fine, because there are other places to take my conversation, lol.
Here's the single OP I've started in a long while; it's a topic that I'm pretty passionate about. Some recs, but no responses. I guess I can be glad nobody showed up to fling shit.
