To some, acting to push the Democratic Party further to the left is "hijacking the party"

126. Me too: "That is part of why these Bernie threads, and they are always about Bernie, piss me off..."

It's not Hillary, Bernie, Bernie, Hillary. I essentially never see threads on DU critical of Hillary anymore, not in a very long while. They were here before the convention, and some others showed up in the forum temporarily dedicated to evaluating the election results. Then they stopped. There have continued to be some pro Hillary threads, and that is fine. They seldom get trashed and never become 125 post flame fests the way that pro Sanders threads usually become.

I make a point of making a positive post on pro Hillary threads sometimes. My feelings are genuine when I do, but mostly I make a point of expressing them to show unity. If you look at my journal you can see what I usually write about, it's certainly not about Hillary Bernie. There was one weekend that you might call an exception - though even then I never said anything negative either about Hillary or the reasons for supporting her. Bernie hate was running amuck here that weekend.

So we agree about our priorities it seems. So why on earth the incessant focus here on what someone wrote on JPR, or what happened at one local meeting of "Our Revolution"? Or on something Bernie Sanders may have said one day about his ideas for progressive agenda priorities and how to attain them? When, as you correctly note; "our country has been hijacked, people are going to die, people are going to be financially ruined, women are going to be sent back to subjugation and choiceless-ness, the environment is going to explode, we're probably going to go to war with North Korea or Canada or both, and they are going to fuck with the voting system so badly that we may never get our rights back."?
