There are still a few people here who I find hard to interact with. I try to be cordial, but it is not easy to forget some of the snark. IRL I am an activist, and NEVER saw anyone behave like that, when one person supported Hillary and the other supported Obama. I often saw them sit together and share a meal at Democratic fundraisers. Everyone was quite cordial.

There were some people here, probably political novices, who had a list of every DUer they could find who had joined PUMAS. I never did join. But a small group did their best to drive people away from DU or have them banned if they expressed any support for Hillary. Before the primary, we are allowed to support any Democrat we please!
