In reply to the discussion: A Question Hillary is Going to be Asked since her Campaign raised it in the First Place: [View all]Moonwalk
(2,322 posts)You boast about how much better Bernie is than Hilary. Well, prove how much better his supporters are than Hilary's by being as civil about them and their candidate as he is--in spite of what they say or Hilary says. Or are you saying it's right for you to do wrong against the other side because they're doing wrong against you?
As for me telling them to shape up--certainly I will. When Hilary posts appear on the home page. I don't know if you've noticed, but Bernie threads dominate the home page, including those that bash Hilary. You may see yourselves as underdogs, but HERE on the DU, you're the biggest kids on the playground. Hilary posts don't make it to the home page to be seen by any and all who pass through. If/when Hilary posts dominate, then Hilary supporters will be the big kids and I'll most certainly tell them to play nice. Because I want Bernie supporters to help Hilary win if she gets the candidacy. In point of fact, I want all democrats to help our chosen candidate to win whoever it is--Biden, Bernie, Hilary.
Because whatever their faults and imperfections, I think they all could be good presidents. And keep us from digging ourselves deeper into the pit the GOP dropped us into nearly 15 years ago. Isn't that what we all want in the end? And isn't that goal more important than one upmanship now?
As for "PUMA" or Loyalty oaths...no they don't ring a bell. Are you using name calling to dismiss me? That's a nasty tactic. Remember when the GOP tried to shut up Obama supporters by calling them Kool-aid drinkers and fans? I thought you were all about setting there record straight. Well, I'm being straight with you. As I'll be with Hilary supporters if I ever see a single thread about Hilary, like this one, on the home page. You Bernie supporters have the floor and you're dominating it. Won't you use that opportunity to show your (and Bernie's) best side? The decent, courteous side? Because if he does become president, he's going to have to be president of everyone. Not just his supporters.
