 1. cause (someone) to lose confidence or hope; dispirit.
 "their rejection of the treaty has demoralized the diplomatic community"
 synonyms: dishearten, dispirit, deject, cast down, depress, dismay, daunt, discourage, unman, unnerve, crush, shake, throw, cow, subdue;

This is what I notice the most as being a tactic used here and in the news circles.

I notice the busy beavers scanning the global net searching for that one bit of text written by some douche at his keyboard that stirs an angry response or adulation from like-minded people.

They want us to stop feeling hope.

They want us to give up. Eat our peas.

They want you to think "Why Vote?" It's over. Go home. Mow your grass and have a beer.

They want as badly as George W Bush landing on that carrier under the banner "Mission Accomplished" that the Iraq war was over and all is groovy.
 
They want us to drop our torches in the lake and go home.

Comply.

I am here to tell them that WE will NOT go silently into the night.

It is over at the convention or when or if Bernie drops out.

So work away you busy beavers. Try to dishearten us.

It just pisses us off and makes us work harder.

It also does nothing to help Secretary Clinton become even close to palatable to us.

2. You mean like all those months and months and months that it was happening to the
 
Hillary supporters, because yes, you are right. I would get off here just so frustrated and sad that there was so many articles from rightwing sites. So many half truths and sometimes, just down right lies. If you were a Hillary support there was alert stalking and just plan swarming because someone was trying to correct the record.

35. I'm demoralized at the thought Hillary will be the nominee.
 
This morning I heard Nicolle Wallace wonder aloud why people aren't badgering Bernie to get out of the race in the same way they badgered Hillary in 2008. The answer is simple. People didn't care for Hillary in 2008 and they don't care for her now. Just because it appears we're going to be stuck with her doesn't make me suddenly like her.

<<<am demoralized that the vile vindictive primitive hasn't yet self-immolated from her burning rage and Hate.

121. Still don't know what a bro is.
 
Some of what is being thrown at her is wrong. But not all of it.

She is not immune to questioning. Vetting.

129. I respectfully disagree that you don't know what a bro is
 
Your username is one of the biggest dick bros in the arts. And who the heck are you to claim a right to "vette" Hillary Clinton? And do it by casting libels. You have no moral standing to tell your damn lies. You are just a bro claiming the rights of bros. You speak for entitled misogynists who think that any dandruffy and cranky old socialist (who is not by any stretch democratic or a democrat, big D or small d) who fled New York to avoid black people and cozied up to the gun nuts and now claim a moral superiority? I don't think so.

You demonstrate all the morals of your username, who is basically a man who lies to get an a strange woman's bed for a bet. It really is the perfect username. Your namesake is not redeemed because he is in love. He isn't redeemed. He's scum. That you think his story is admirable says a lot about your values. He's a bro who seduced a woman on a bet for the sake of impressing a bro.

You have no right to "vette" our candidate, any more than Fox News does. If you find it demoralizing that you are called on your punch bowl shitting, then you are beginning to feel the scorn that we feel towards the bros. Who are accomplishing nothing more than shitting the punch bowl.

You socialists have crashed the Democratic Party. You are no longer, in my view, welcome here.
