44. Thank you for your thoughtful post.
I'm a 58 year old Norwegian Minnesotan. I've been anti-Clinton for years, for many reasons.

The thing about what the Clinton people post, it's mostly stupid stuff and it's out of desperation. It's sad and annoying, but it can't really hurt anything because it has no grounding in reality. There's no reason to react to those things out of fear. And all the hosility and anger and agression has its roots in fear. We need to stop being fearful.

And while the Clinton people post things out of their own fear, Obama people are posting agresssive mocking things out of egoistic chest-thumping. We're all caught up in this dualistic power paradigm of dominance/submission. Obama people (some, not all, of course) are behaving as though they are demanding submission from the Clinton side.

That is, simply put, a very bad way of pulling together as a party and winning the White House in November.

Peace,
