This is from me personally, and not as a host

[TBF]

6. Marym, I just posted this in another thread and I think it's on point -

11. We are seeing the right wing machine at work Robbins -

some Hillary supporters are bad, but most are not. Most are honestly supporting their candidate and think she has the best chance to beat the republicans. I served with several members of MIRT who are very strong supporters & I would defend their character any day of the week. But we also have efforts on DU to undermine any of our democratic candidates - and their posts will continue to chip away. One I dealt with yesterday kept referring to Bernie as being "84" - which was a real stretch because even if he were elected & served two terms he would be 83 when the next president took over. They'll continue to do this. It will be bad during primary season, and it will be worse when we get to the months leading up to the election. Brace yourself and hold on.

It is going to get worse before it gets better & anything you can do as host in this group will be very much appreciated. It is going to be very bad out in GD, but we can keep it focused in here. Do what you have to do!
