I don't get the negativity and I never will

38. For awhile there were no Sanders post

But now it seems like it's a daily thing again. There is almost nothing positive that comes out of the threads. Many Sanders supporters went to Clinton, just as many Clinton Supporters went with Obama, and John Edwards to Kerry. The difference is that there wasn't an elongated schism. Once one conceded, it was time to move on for the bigger picture. There are some that seem unable to do that. I think there is also a double standard. Someone can post "Bernie derangement syndrome," which is a condescending personal attack, yet any critique of that approach or opinion that is equally strong from an opposing point of view often ends up with a post hidden or alerted.

I hate coming to Democratic underground and lately seeing all of these Sanders threads that SOME of his former supporters will auto Rec to ensure it's on the front page/home page and the rest of us have to see it. There is a site, JPR, that is for and by hard core supporters. Why must we continue to revisit the hurt of the primaries by those who pretend to offer....what exactly? Promoting Senator Sanders as a great man and politician? At this point I wonder what the purpose is for those Sanders threads. Anyone with any criticism is almost immediately met with some form of snark or sarcasm with post after post of fighting. So many bigger things going on right now for so much energy spent going back and forth over Sanders. Not this thread OP, I agree with you, but the other threads that are popping up just offer nothing to the current climate or discussion that wasn't already fought in the primaries.

Some still dislike Hillary, or never liked her and/or the Dem part and apparently court and continue to court division. Not all, just some.
