98. A whole bunch of DU'ers were TS'd for it.

Jul 2015

There was an entire thread of Hillary supporters who declared in June 2007 they "couldn't vote for him" (Obama). Some (emilyb comes to mind) openly posted they wrote in Hillary's name in 2008.

Mine is not an anti-Hillary post; in fact, it is more accurately an accounting of anti-Obama posts from June 2007 from some current and other former DU'ers. It did happen, it is real and most people that were here then remember it. Pretending it didn't happen doesn't mean it didn't happen nor that it won't happen again.

complete arrogance based on support from corporate media, not real policy J_J_ Jul 2015 #86

No kidding Bobbie Jo Jul 2015 #80

Most are already Bernie supporters. He's a great senator and believes in most of DanTex Jul 2015 #3

Who the candidates believe should run the country is the difference daybranch Jul 2015 #9

This would be a great post if you left out the "Hillary sides with the oligarchs" nonsense. DanTex Jul 2015 #13

ummm its the truth, not a smear... cocainecowboy Jul 2015 #16

Funny-when I state facts like "Sanders is going to have a hard time winning a national election..." brooklynite Jul 2015 #19

That's an opinion, not a fact... cocainecowboy Jul 2015 #30

"Sanders can't win" is much closer to a fact than "Hillary sides with the Oligarchs" DanTex Jul 2015 #46

We KNOW Hillary sides with the Oligarchs. cocainecowboy Jul 2015 #50

The great and noble struggle BainsBane Jul 2015 #54

Yup, yup. TeaPubliKlans exclusively for the top. 01% while Democrats are working for all the top 10% TheKentuckian Jul 2015 #61

Well, now that you put it in all-caps... DanTex Jul 2015 #57

You mean like these 1%ers? JaneyVee Jul 2015 #20

Add Elon Musk, Bill Maher, Ben and Jerry BainsBane Jul 2015 #55

"It Takes a Village" aka "The 1 Percenter's Handbook" oasis Jul 2015 #99

Because it's the uncomfortable truth Armstead Jul 2015 #28

I recognize this is a subject that Hillary peole are afraid of. Calling it non-sense without citing daybranch Jul 2015 #43

When you get into meaningless smear territory, it takes away from the supposedly DanTex Jul 2015 #47

President of ALL the People? LeFleur1 Jul 2015 #82

But she does. Fawke Em Jul 2015 #79

Ha hahaha ... He believes in most of the same things as Hillary Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #11

yep Go Vols Jul 2015 #22

Yep. senz Jul 2015 #93

yes, some Bernistas will leave the playground with their ball if they guy doesn't win Primary Sheepshank Jul 2015 #21

Although I'm not among them, I think it's understandable. senz Jul 2015 #97

and all of this is worth throwing the GE to a Republican? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #100

Not to me. And not to most of us, I'm sure. n/t senz Jul 2015 #102

I do believe you are right...it's not a majority that is so anti Dem. n/t Sheepshank Jul 2015 #103

I though Hillary was a republican according to DU Sander supporters that's all I read bigdarryl Jul 2015 #25

Because she is narrowly better than a Republican. Armstead Jul 2015 #29

Yes the majority will support our nominee unapatriciated Jul 2015 #42

It's doubtful that Bernie and Hillary's beliefs match up on many points. senz Jul 2015 #92

Based on their platforms and voting records, they are pretty close. DanTex Jul 2015 #94

The Sanders campaign emailed me their platform as of early May. senz Jul 2015 #101

If Hillary is nominated, we'll be there for her- John Poet Jul 2015 #107

If Bernie is nominated its because he had more support gwheezie Jul 2015 #4

Every person on DU should support the nominee, regardless of who it is Godhumor Jul 2015 #5

It must be wednesday.nt bravenak Jul 2015 #6

It's July 29th! Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #12

I for one will welcome our Hillary-Supporting Overlords. cherokeeprogressive Jul 2015 #8

shhhhh! shhhht! daybranch Jul 2015 #10

We're Bernie supporters now. For senate. And that will continue, so in a sense you are right. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #14

How about Bernie's positions? Armstead Jul 2015 #31

None of the positions of Sanders, Hillary or O'Malley matter. They arent getting past the GOP House. stevenleser Jul 2015 #32

That epitomizes the problem right there Armstead Jul 2015 #33

No, it doesnt epitomize the problem. The problem is gerrymandered House districts. stevenleser Jul 2015 #37

There is ALWAYS a rationalization for inaction (and bad policies) Armstead Jul 2015 #38

Sorry, you can't philosophize this away. It is a real and empirical problem for which there is no stevenleser Jul 2015 #39

It's not philosophy Armstead Jul 2015 #41

Hmm. Setting the stage for 2020 or 2025? You have a point. randome Jul 2015 #44

Setting the stage by raising expectations and then failing to deliver anything? That's not a good stevenleser Jul 2015 #58

OH Okay. The let's just have an election that says... Armstead Jul 2015 #66

Reality isn't always what you want it to be, but it's best to work within it. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #69

UM, I -- and many otehrs -- are working within reality. Armstead Jul 2015 #70

No, you're not. You are denying the reality of the GOP house through Jan 2023 and what it means. stevenleser Jul 2015 #71

Okay I will follow your advice and go to sleep for the next decade Armstead Jul 2015 #72

Again, reality may not be what you want it to be, but it's best to deal with it. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #73

I've been dealing with this reality since the 1970's and I'm 62 now Armstead Jul 2015 #75

GREAT posts Armstead. LeftOfWest Jul 2015 #106

Gerrymandering is part of the problem. RichVRichV Jul 2015 #96

And what about this? artislife Jul 2015 #45

So you've already given up. That's pathetic. Scuba Jul 2015 #64

Bang! This is the only correct answer. apnu Jul 2015 #40

I wish they would all stop bad mouthing one another candidate especially since... Stellar Jul 2015 #49

Should Sen. Sanders win the nomination, I'll vote for him The Second Stone Jul 2015 #24

yes, riversedge Jul 2015 #36

I will vote for the Democratic nominee Gothmog Jul 2015 #27

I am sending Bernie money now Trajan Jul 2015 #56

It would be a little pretentious for either party to make statements regarding the others supporters liberal N proud Jul 2015 #34

Most of us have said all along that we'll support whoever wins the primary so... randome Jul 2015 #35

Yeah, well... Bobbie Jo Jul 2015 #48

Some things you just can't un-see BainsBane Jul 2015 #53

Absolutley. I will continue to support him as he works on legislation. NCTraveler Jul 2015 #51

Uh, huh. BainsBane Jul 2015 #52

If he wins a primary, I'll vote for him in a general. Arkana Jul 2015 #59

***word*** Sheepshank Jul 2015 #77

And vice versa, Blue_In_AK Jul 2015 #60

Expect many to go full PUMA, just like last time. AtomicKitten Jul 2015 #62

I suspect you'd be right. If folks think DU sucks now, my only advice would be nc4bo Jul 2015 #63

Nonsense. Beacool Jul 2015 #89

A whole bunch of DU'ers were TS'd for it. AtomicKitten Jul 2015 #98

I'm not so sure madokie Jul 2015 #65

If you are right, then the DINOs will be self-evident? Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #67

And that many of them never accepted Obama madokie Jul 2015 #68

Can the Bernie supporters say the same when VanillaRhapsody Jul 2015 #81

If that becomes the case one would think that some Bernie supporters on DU would be more still_one Jul 2015 #83

Need I point out that 150,000 rock Jul 2015 #84

It still beats 10,000. RichVRichV Jul 2015 #87

Agreed! rock Jul 2015 #90

DUers, Democrats, and democracy kenn3d Jul 2015 #85

In the unlikely event that Sanders wins the nomination, of course I would support him. Beacool Jul 2015 #88
