It's not all of you, but her rational supporters are getting drowned out by the explosion of DEFCON 1 threads that go on and on for more than 100 posts.
The rational among you know that:
1) 86% of Democrats support Hillary
2) Democrats didn't stay home and sit on their asses in 2014. Dems lost seats because due to gerrymandering despite receiving 1.37 million votes more than Republicans
3) Bernie isn't the second coming of Ralph Nader.
As for her other supporters: WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.
Enough with the fear mongering. It's like Fox News around here.

(30,058 posts)months? Don't know if this makes somebody else than HRC group has been doing.
I am not afraid of Bernie running, we will have a primary in which voting will be happening and all the thoughts about Nader and other talking points will not matter once the votes are tallied.
As far as Bernie supporters, wrong talking points are wrong, because we point out what we may or may not like about Bernie is not fear mongering.

They are a push on all issues but economic.

(30,481 posts)That is no surprise. A poster brought an Andrew Malcolm opinion piece here the other day as an anti-Hillary piece. The usual suspects all recced it. The rec count actually went down after a while. It was truly funny to watch. Ratfuckers out ratted themselves. But it is really just a small but loud group. Ignore them and you will find great stuff posted here.

(30,481 posts)I am familiar with the right winger Malcolm. Strange to see justification for the posting of Malcolm here.
Seems to me like Skinner posted a pretty good article.
Can you show me the really good article posted on DU by Malcolm?

(30,481 posts)I have no clue what that has to do with the right winger Malcolm being used here. Maybe if you could post the article he has written that you think would be acceptable for du. I cannot for the life of me think of why you would attempt to justify an Andrew Malcolm article being used here.

The only network that carried Bernie's announcement live is Fox News!

All networks carried Hillary's, Cruz's, and Rubio's announcement live

(22,871 posts)on politics? The point seems to be "someone on DU is saying something I don't like". Have you seen threads where everyone agrees? They're boring and they sink like a stone. I swear,DU is more about infighting and personalities than any other forum I know of.
