And Mahatma Wills and nadin's
lustknabe hrmjustin, leaders of the cabal supporting the former First Lady, aren't doing a damned thing about it--they refuse to fight back--thinking peaceful nonresistance would work on the supporters of Barney Fif--er, Sanders.
By the way, on an unrelated issue, did anybody besides franksolich notice it was Little Lord Fauntleroy Wills who got the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive sent off for a sabbatical, for calling him "hon"?

Can I hide out here for a while?
My wife and I are both 90%+ sure that we will vote for Hillary in the SC primary (and remember that it was SC that basically propelled Obama to the 2008 nomination).
I got a notice the other day that I have been barred from the Bernie Sanders forum.
My crime?
I posted a reply in a thread which I didn't even realize was in the Sanders forum about a ridiculous and misleading post. The title said that more Democrats were now supporting Sanders than Clinton, but the body of the text asserted that Clinton would lose the election if nominated. I replied that the post was both misleading and ridiculous. Not a comment that really had anything to do with which candidate I supported or why.
While I could appeal and have this action rescinded, I decided to put the group leader on my ignore list and stay away from such a narrow-minded and thin-skinned environment.
I am a huge fan of Bernie's, and think he is possibly the best current member of the US Senate. I can't support him in the primary because I think Clinton will likely win the general election while I am afraid Sanders would lose. And, I think Clinton would be best able to carry on effectively advancing a liberal agenda.
I think the next election, with its implications for Supreme Court appointments, campaign financing and voter suppression may be a major turning point in our history. Following 8 years of Obama with 8 more of a Democratic President should destroy the very real threat of the Tea Party fanatics and give us a progressive government and a sane opposition party.
I feel confidant that we will all come together behind our party's candidate when the primary is over - the stakes are too high not to win this one.
Peace.

1. Of course. We like Hillary AND Obama here.
This is a safe place for Democrats at Democratic Underground.

6. I'm finding thin skin everywhere
I post very rarely.
But having posted to both Sanders and Hillary OPs asking them to not count chickens and such, I would get blasted. We are a year away from determining our candidate, and truly hope that whoever wins, the other side will gather and vote for OUR candidate.
My state primary is a long time away, and despite leaning towards Bernie, I have every intention of voting for Hillary if she wins the nomination.
I remember eight short years ago when the infighting brewed between the Hillary, Obama and Edwards camps. Harsh words were thrown, many not ever forgiven.
I fear it is happening again.
I hate that it will. We need a united front behind the eventual candidate.
And as the eventual candidate will be.....Hillary Clinton, it's time for the contrary primitives to sit down and shut up.

7. I was banned also
not knowing I was in the Bernie group when I responded to a ridiculous post. I agree with you. I like Bernie but I don't believe that Americans are going to elect a Socialist. I'm a little dismayed at how aggressive and harsh the Sanders Enforcers have become. I've only posted 1800 times in my 11 years here- Hopefully the nastiness will subside after the primaries.
The "Sanders Enforcers" unfortunately are going to keep getting their way, unless those who know what's better for the Democrat party stand up and fight back.
