I'm curious... [View all]

... I just got blocked from the Hillary group for what I THOUGHT was a fairly innocuous comment, given the vitriol directed at Bernie supporters in that thread. They certainly seem to be an touchy bunch. If they have no desire to interact with Duers who might have a differing viewpoint, why do their threads appear in Trending Now or Greatest Threads, which kinda invites others to comment, doesn't it?

Clinton supporters claim that Sanders supporters are always saying terrible, no-good, horrible things about Hillary, but I have yet to see anything like the malice they say is "all over DU." I certainly wouldn't contribute to it, and I said as much in my comment. Or am I missing something here?

I've never met Hillary, but I have met Bernie, and I've spoken with him a few times on VPR call-in shows. I've joined him on one of his birthday cruises on Lake Champlain, though I missed the last one Because of one of those "I thought YOU ordered the tickets!" scenarios. Oh well...

I've followed Bernie for 35 years, and the only time I've disagreed with him is regarding the deployment of the F-35 in Burlington. Once in 35 years? They ain't NOBODY with that good a record in my book! Hell, I've disagreed with MYSELF more times than that!

I was born during the Truman administration, and for my money, Bernie's the best presidential candidate there has been in my lifetime, and that's including all of the Kennedys.

Any and all insights are welcomed.
