exemplary fashion. Notice how he never dumps on Hillary. He seems to be adhering to an unspoken "11th Commandment for Democrats" - like reagan's GOP version - "Thou Shalt Not Speak Ill of Another republi-CON" - well, our version would obviously be "Thou Shalt Not Speak Ill of Another Democrat."
All that does is drill holes in the bottom of the boat of whoever's gonna be the last person standing at the end of primary season.
All that does is foster animosity and resentment and encourages people to stay home and pout because they didn't get the candidate they wanted.
All that does is further divide us, when we're ALL going to have to be shoulder-to-shoulder and LOCKSTEP TOGETHER to make sure WE DEMS keep the White House.

ANY of the most recent Supreme Court decisions are proof positive of this - it makes a HUGE difference who gets to nominate Supreme Court justices. You want more scalias and thomases and alitos? Then go ahead - dump on the other Democrat! Make sure everybody's divided and pissed off and resentful at the end, because that is what you WILL wind up with. The BAD GUYS win it and our numbers are all scattered and divided and licking all kinds of wounds real and imagined. And eventually everything that meant anything to you, policy-wise, begins to be dismantled and carved up and warped and shredded and changed - and REVERSED.

Eyes on the PRIZE, guys!

I've noticed Hillary isn't dumping on Bernie either. Nor should she. And he's being most graceful toward her as well. THAT'S HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE!!!!!! And we followers of both these candidates need to take a page from their campaign strategy books, and behave toward each other like THEY are behaving toward each other. I suspect each of them understands that the End Game requires each of their camps to come together as a united front - if there's to be another Democrat in the White House after Barack Obama and family retire from there.

It certainly feels this way and felt that way late last night. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #6

There is, & they've been doing so since E Warren. misterhighwasted Jun 2015 #16

Of course we are being targeted. That fact was blatanly said to my DU face recently. misterhighwasted Jun 2015 #7

Some of them are upfront about what they are doing. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #9

I am not sure. Listening to other candidates supporters they claim DU "bias" against their still_one Jun 2015 #8

I definitely think jurors are using the jury system as a popularity contest. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #10

I would like to see the jury limited to a simple hide/leave. No comments are necessary. misterhighwasted Jun 2015 #18

Interesting idea. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #24

Actually the comments are what expose the bias of the jurors in my view still_one Jun 2015 #29

I'd rather see comments made mandatory. Jim Lane Jun 2015 #31

Mandatory would be appreciated also. misterhighwasted Jun 2015 #32

I don't even mind the attacks on the alerter. Jim Lane Jun 2015 #33

Thats an acceptable response and kind. misterhighwasted Jun 2015 #34

You can also alert on jury results. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #75

Did not know this, can there be a change in the jury decision? Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #78

No but if someone goes over the line in their remarks they msybr removed from the jury pool. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #79

Thanks Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #80

My pleasure. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #81

A link to the Mojo! yallerdawg Jun 2015 #68

Thank You. I've been to the site, but have not seen a discussion "room" or forum Sheepshank Jun 2015 #69

Yes, Hillary Mojo is for fun, positive, like-minded Hillary supporters. yallerdawg Jun 2015 #70

I've read that safe haven groups are also being stalked and targeted Iliyah Jun 2015 #14

Sad that they feel the need to silence us. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #15

It is very much a tactic we know the GOP uses. misterhighwasted Jun 2015 #17

I am working on my "bern out" gif for Primary Day. When Hillary becomes our Dem candidate misterhighwasted Jun 2015 #19

When that day comes I will just be polite and wish him well. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #21

Yes Sanders is a cool guy. He'd be embarrassed by the tactics of certain posters we find among us misterhighwasted Jun 2015 #22

I always liked sanders. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #23

I feel the same. The nasty ones like some I've met here, are repulsive. misterhighwasted Jun 2015 #26

Many of his supporters here are good people but some are here to disrupt. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #27

No they are not, they are trolls. Iliyah Jun 2015 #30

There was a hide for posting a DU members name in the reply, this is over the top and not good. Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #35

Yes that is true. Sometimes it is appropriate but sometimes not. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #38

A true generalization HassleCat Jun 2015 #51

Sanders is a welcoming person. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #53

And you felt the need to violate this safe haven to post this? hrmjustin Jun 2015 #60

yep - it was on the latest threads and I didn't look to see the group. rurallib Jun 2015 #61

I posted two warnings in this thread. If you read thd thread you knew where you were. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #62

You are seriously weighing both sides redstateblues Jun 2015 #64

Problem solved and I did post a warning it was the HRC room. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #66

I hope so! Cha Jul 2015 #96

The sad thing is that some are acting like we are making the whole targeting thing up. hrmjustin Jul 2015 #97

I noticed.. it only says to me that they're not paying attention or only see what they want to see. Cha Jul 2015 #98

I expected this and it is unfortunate. hrmjustin Jul 2015 #99
