Your poor attitude is indicative of the depths to which DU has sunk, where good, long-standing Democrats are maligned because of your misapprehension of their intentions. If you're looking for some semblance of unity, a more accommodating tone would go a long ways towards mending fences. Instead, you seem to still be in Primary Mode where other Democrats are your enemy and should be castigated for even the mildest of constructive criticism.

Please stop digging the hole you're in and, if you're truly interested in getting Hillary elected, move on to more constructive endeavors, because this whole tirade just makes you look foolish and bitter.
