I'd like to have two pinned threads for this Group... and I need everyone's input!

131. Bernie don't play that way - it's too divisive

especially when the great majority of Dems have always appreciated Sanders.

I don't think attacks on Sanders here or in GD will be coming from fearful Clinton supporters. This will be my third presidential primary here at DU. I've been facing down some of these same Clinton supporters here since 2004 when it became evident establishment Clintonites were undermining 2004 so she could run in 2008 - I spent all those years countering them vigorously and throughout that 2008 cycle. I have also been one of the fiercest critics of her time at State. There is plenty to discuss, substantively, without coming here and furthering the RW propaganda agenda. I know RW bs when I see it. I've been monitoring the build up of the RW propaganda machine since my days with FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting) back in the 90s when George Carlin donated FAIR office space in LA.

I think it is far more likely that RW operatives will attempt to use this haven as a dividing ground to hurt ALL Dems.

To quote Twin Peaks, "The owls aren't always what they seem."

Don't be afraid of DU's HRC group - 99% of them are earnest, dependable Democrat voters. We should emulate Sanders approach - Act honestly and without malice towards other Democrats.

Those here at DU as RW operatives will get weeded out….eventually. Their tactics become apparent.
