235. "Everyone is welcome in the AA forum -- unless they're psychotic."

Hey, 23.

You and your group are the most respectful and welcoming group on DU. You are loving and you welcome diversity. Actually, you embrace it.

Ha...yup this place has gone to shit.

How in God's name anyone could think that screaming at and alienating Democrats, particularly the most reliable, consistent Dem voting block in existence, is a winning strategy for their candidate is the height of unchecked, privileged stupidity.

I have no answer to this. No clue why they are being so hateful. Yes, we have some trolls. That still does not answer for the hate. We elected a Black President twice, I guess some have not gotten over that. Sad.

Yes, I am white. I love my President and yup, I am already going through the pain of his leaving. Dayum, I will miss him.

This I know for a fact, he is going to rock us all the way to the end. He is fearless. He has done so much. So much hate tossed at this man, yet he goes on.

President Obama. Best President ever.

Fact.

Bullshit! TM99 Aug 2015 #225

Bullshit is right. R B Garr Aug 2015 #251

This is the typical line of bullshit TM99 Aug 2015 #257

"After decades" -- yes, that's my point -- after decades there are R B Garr Aug 2015 #377

You are willfully ignorant on this. TM99 Aug 2015 #388

NO, you are engaging in revisionist history to suit your PUB mentality now. R B Garr Aug 2015 #398

It is only revisionistic in your deluded fantasies. TM99 Aug 2015 #403

"those capable of research" - that's my point. What you describe is research. R B Garr Aug 2015 #406

Dude, what the fuck? TM99 Aug 2015 #408

Back to the name calling, I see. You guys really crack me up, too. R B Garr Aug 2015 #410

I am done with you. TM99 Aug 2015 #428

Yeah, well, you name call Dems here and insult the Clintons non-stop, R B Garr Aug 2015 #429

exactly. Gloria Aug 2015 #91

I thought it was just on DU too until I saw the #berniesoblack tag and read the reports from black Number23 Aug 2015 #98

yeah, I wonder if Bernie has any clue what some of his supporters on the net are doing Cha Aug 2015 #108

After I saw a poster in this forum say that electing Bernie Sanders was the only way to eradicate Number23 Aug 2015 #150

Gone baby gone. I saw that link.. it's posted in Hillary's Group, too.. Cha Aug 2015 #167

There are some/few Sanders supporters that I really like here. sheshe2 Aug 2015 #173

Everyone is welcome in the AA forum -- unless they're psychotic. Number23 Aug 2015 #198

"unsafe" "terrified" Nnnnnnope, no hyperbole here... cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #210

You need to take it up with the black female PROGRESSIVE who attended Netroots and couldn't wait Number23 Aug 2015 #217

"Sanders supporters are unhinged loons secretly working to make their candidate lose." Seriously? cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #230

No one said anything about violence. That's you projecting some serious something right there Number23 Aug 2015 #233

You post things like "they felt absolutely UNSAFE around Sanders unhinged supporters" and cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #237

The BLACK WOMAN at Netroots Nation said she felt unsafe. Those were HER WORDS brought on SOLELY Number23 Aug 2015 #241

I'm not wailing or screaming. Howling? You fucking bet. Howling with laughter. cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #244

My pleasure. I do the same thing every time I see the latest polls on the Dem rankings Number23 Aug 2015 #246

Thanks for the link, Number23. I can't believe she was cornered and manhandled lunamagica Aug 2015 #278

And what's even more telling is that her feeling unsafe around alleged "liberals" is cause for Number23 Aug 2015 #299

I don't understand...it's just mind-boggling. What is funny, not just funny, but hilarious about lunamagica Aug 2015 #337

This is a pretty ridiculous attack on Sanders supporters right here jfern Aug 2015 #270

If by "attack" you mean a view of the abusive tactics of many Sanders supporters which is shared Number23 Aug 2015 #295

LOL, you don't even try to present evidence jfern Aug 2015 #310

You ARE evidence.nt bravenak Aug 2015 #314

No we don't. No need to even try. You do all the work.nt bravenak Aug 2015 #332

We get it, you don't like Sanders supporters jfern Aug 2015 #333

OK, I'll be nice. jfern Aug 2015 #335

Thank you. bravenak Aug 2015 #336

The OP is evidence. There have been at least four other articles posted WITHIN this OP that are Number23 Aug 2015 #317

Well, it was't in your post jfern Aug 2015 #327

You need to read the thread and the site. Maybe then you could educate yourself and stop labeling Number23 Aug 2015 #433

So do you care what has happened to our Democracy? jalan48 Aug 2015 #155

That's unfortunate because he needs to be fundraising if he's going to beat the Rethugs, pnwmom Aug 2015 #157

I guess if the Hillaristas can't find anything else to bash Bernie with, Cleita Aug 2015 #145

That's pretty much all they've been doing here on DU villager Aug 2015 #154

Then you haven't been paying attention. Many have criticized his positions on gun control. pnwmom Aug 2015 #161

There has been criticism of his gun control positions. villager Aug 2015 #172

Thank you. I don't blame him for his previous positions on gun control. I just hope he reconsiders pnwmom Aug 2015 #238

Hillary 2008 and guns artislife Aug 2015 #252

When it came time to vote on the PLCAA, Hillary voted against it and Bernie voted for it. pnwmom Aug 2015 #258

Now they are. artislife Aug 2015 #262

I am committed to no one at this point, but I think her campaign is better organized and funded. pnwmom Aug 2015 #271

He's got an F rating from the NRA jfern Aug 2015 #276

They've turned against him for some reason. But he was with them on some critical votes. pnwmom Aug 2015 #288

Bernie rebuts his own platform... Agschmid Aug 2015 #162

Link? villager Aug 2015 #171

Here... Agschmid Aug 2015 #174

So that's what you have -- he pays his interns $10 an hour villager Aug 2015 #177

No link. Agschmid Aug 2015 #183

But your candidate doesn't even pay her interns -- and the article mentions the health benefits are villager Aug 2015 #189

I support Bernie. Agschmid Aug 2015 #190

Then why post something that doesn't really show him contradicting his position? villager Aug 2015 #194

Because it clearly does contradict his postion and I find that frustrating. Agschmid Aug 2015 #197

I disagree, since she isn't paying interns villager Aug 2015 #206

So your reasoning is... Agschmid Aug 2015 #218

Kicking your post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sheshe2 Aug 2015 #245

Oh cut the bullshit. TM99 Aug 2015 #264

Nope, it's an unprincipled stance. Is the reason for a $15/hr wage applicable now or not? n/t seaglass Aug 2015 #340

It is a principled AND rational stance. TM99 Aug 2015 #342

Why don't you direct me to where Bernie has said that $10/hr is a living wage now? n/t seaglass Aug 2015 #345

Why don't you read what I said and educate yourself? n/t TM99 Aug 2015 #348

You are attempting to deflect. If Bernie had a principled stance he would be paying his staff a seaglass Aug 2015 #349

It is not deflection to describe the actual economic realities of a wage increase. TM99 Aug 2015 #351

It is a deflection because we are talking about something Bernie could do to demonstrate his seaglass Aug 2015 #355

No it is not. This is not a flaw. TM99 Aug 2015 #366

Is $10.10 a living wage? Agschmid Aug 2015 #347

Question our politicians is fine. TM99 Aug 2015 #350

I don't support the other candidates! Agschmid Aug 2015 #357

No candidate is perfect. TM99 Aug 2015 #362

This is an incredibly important issue and as far as I can tell... Agschmid Aug 2015 #365

He is doing better. TM99 Aug 2015 #367

No I mean better than $10.10... Agschmid Aug 2015 #369

You are asking the wrong question. TM99 Aug 2015 #392

No shit. Puglover Aug 2015 #370

You mean when I say "I support Sanders but expect more" Agschmid Aug 2015 #401

I am not being snarky honestly. Puglover Aug 2015 #404

So because people tell me I don't support Sanders... Agschmid Aug 2015 #411
