and there's Facebook - got so bad there I deactivated my account.
Couldn't handle the fact I knew people who were so hateful towards Hillary.

On Twitter no friends allowed, no friend requests. I like Twitter - it's fast and plus I can follow people I admire like Jon Favreau Robby Mook, Eric Boehlert and countless others in politics.

Just saying, they claim we're paid trolls all the time.

everyone to support the Democrat nominee in the general election.

The person rightfully got a hide for the insensitive remarks, but it indicates a very cruel and heartless view that some seem to hold

That appears to be what they are counting on. Because they apparently don't want or need any donations from Clinton supporters.

have to do to get this to stop is enforce their rules more strictly. I don't even get what they're trying to do anymore. If I were in charge of this site, many of these people would've been tombstoned long ago, and there would be actual mods instead of the faulty jury system and the self-policing. It's one thing to have differences, but it's another to spread misinformation about a life-long Dem (especially one who is popular within the party), and blackmailing her supporters on a Democratic site by threatening to vote 3rd party. They should not be welcome here.

Instead it is filled with hate and right wing smears about any Democrat who is NOT Bernie and right wing propaganda about the Democratic Party. It is crazy. What a shame. Nastiness and criticism about President Obama that should not be tolerated. Should be interesting to see how this is all going to be cleaned up in the future.

The posters posting negatives about the presumptive Democratic Party POTUS nominee are not Democrats. There are a very few who have fallen victim to the 25 years of right wing attacks on the Clintons. They have unfortunately fallen victim to the massive amounts of money that have been spent to discredit the 2 most successful President in the last half century, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. It is sad to see self proclaimed fall for the massive efforts to destroy the Democratic Party.

There are a large number of these self proclaimed progressives who are clearly right wing operatives. They have spent years attacking Democratic politicians and the Democratic Party in general even on this very website that has the TOS that say this site is supposed to be about supporting Democratic politicians and electing Democrats. It is very clear what these posters are doing, attempting to drive down voter turnout and dividing and conquering the Democratic Party voters.

The hatred for Democratic Party politicians is going to get much, much worse. The only way the GOP can win this fall is to drive down voter turnout. the negative rhetoric drives down voter turnout.

We have to stay positive and turn out the votes!
