What could possibly unite Clinton and Obama supporters?
Absolute annoyance at posters on BOTH sides who post 0%-1% of "results" as either a final exit poll or the final results.

9. Eventually - that war mongering puke bastard McCain...
...and the good chance that we will have our personal liberties eroded further by 1-2 SCOTUS appointments.

A common enemy will do that just fine --- unless, a convention fight means Super Delegates over-ride the popular vote --- then many Dems would say fuck this - myself included.

To think that this is in any way an accurate representation of the populous is foolish.

14. Those posters are merely reporting what they see on TV
It's not a final. We all know that. It's more like a blow by blow report. Don't be annoyed.

The party will be unified for November.

And I wouldn't be at all surprised if both Obama and Hillary are on the ticket....

20. Are you talking Clinton & Obama supporters in the real world or here?
Big difference. This place will always be a mess as long as the anti-Clinton divisiveness that has plagued this board for several years is allowed to continue. It has nothing to do with REAL Obama supporters and everything to do with how DU is a magnet for Clinton haters from everywhere.....Republican and Democrat, left and right, moles and real.

29. A general election
Shitty Schools, unemployment, no money for college, endless war, huge deficits, inaccessible healthcare, rising gas prices, a recession, illegal wiretapping, torture and government secrecy have a way of uniting people.

31. The average non GD:P Obama supporter and Clinton supporter are more likely
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 09:49 PM by FVZA_Colonel
to come together then one might think. Perhaps my case was a rarity, but when the Washington Caucus occured everyone, Clinton supporters and Obama supporters, admitted they liked and respected the other candidate. I think it will be a common desire to put a candidate who is infinitely more likely to pull America out of the fire then John McCain ever could, whether their name is Barack or Hillary.


I truly love Democratic Underground as a whole, but there are times when this sub-forum can really cloud ones' opinion on this issue.
