Not that that’s going to happen.

What ticks me off is how active Democratic Party members can’t even currently discuss what we’re potentially up against again in 2018 and 2020 openly here without fear of being hidden. On this, a site for and about Democrats. All because of a tiny minority. It’s all so juvenile.

I love this place, and I never complain usually, but this is highly irritating.

After years of brainwashing from the likes of Limbaugh/Jones and FOX etc republicans really get off on the emotion of hate. Hillary seems to be one of their go to targets when they need a hate fix. other targets would be Mexicans,Muslims, any visible minority, women, the gay community,liberals ,environmentalists,the media,the FBI/CIA/NSA etc, its a long list.

been here since 2002 when people were rejoicing over having 2k members) after posting about how much I hate BS after the election and how he is not now and never has been a Dem and over the nasty behavior of his followers at the 2016 Tx state convention, etc. Left vowing never to return and went to twitter where I find plenty of people who know that BS is not a Dem and I can say whatever I want about him. I have always, always found covert misogyny here and also extreme Texas hate. I was constantly trying to educate people that baby bush is not a Texan (owning a pig ranch does not make you anything but dumb and don't get me started on that fake Texas accent.) I still come for the latest video since I got rid of my TV and the cartoons and the wisdom of certain people and the lovely salmonenchanted. Lots of lovely folks but please do not tell this Democratic Texas precinct chair that she can't speak ugly about Bernie Sanders, a self identified Independent and not a Democrat. But being nasty about Hillary seems to be just fine. Can't imagine what the difference might be???

I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth that refuses to go away after all that, too. So, I feel you. All we can do here safely is say we’re not supporting his run in 2020. Which I adamantly am NOT supporting in anyway. This is because he caucuses with the Dems which gives him amnesty under the site rules. Once again, I hear you and I agree. Nothing productive came from that mess and I do not want a rerun of it in 2020.

They should not be brought up for discussion. Fighting against them is pointless on here because we should all be able to recognize them as diversion/division tactics. It's not like we are going to uncover anything new by rehashing the same, tired bullshit.

My advice (and I hope you told these people the same, samnsara) is to just ignore those posts and move on. Let them be buried quickly by not responding.

I realize their footprint is bigger than it should be, but it’s still an extremely small amount of people acting like jerks toward her. Normally I’d say just ignore them, but that didn’t work out too well for us historically. I’m not sure what the solution is here now.

These people are either dumb enough to fall for the Rs diversion tactics or they're Rs themselves- either way I just ignore them. Yesterday I was browsing through my list and I would say, around 90% have been either ppr'd or ffr.
