Attempting to bring Bernie supporters to heel is not a way to motivate them

[AZ Progressive]

Acting like an oppressive parent is not a way to get people to do things, and in fact fuels rebellion. That should be part of a basic understanding of human psychology. Thus, your doing nothing but motivating Bernie supporters to do the opposite.

[PyaarRevolution]

1. Even if Hillary gets the nom.

I will not shut up about tuition free college and Medicare for all and I hope all of you who vote for Hillary and support her in campaigning SHOULD she get the nom. do the same.
We won't roll over.

[liberal N proud]

5. That's great, you should keep pushing your ideals.

But in the event Bernie does not get the nomination, remember if a Democrat does not get elected and if the Democrats don't regain some control in Congress , those ideals have less than a zero chance of realization.

Keep fighting for what you believe, but know how to get there.

[PyaarRevolution]

14. Never said I wouldn't vote for Hillary.

But in my state, Hillary won't win. I actually think Bernie can put states like mine, KS, in play in the GE which Hillary can't. This is just my opinion though.
Regardless, even if she gets the nom. and wins I will continue to pressure her. That reminds me, I thought I might add I will be donating money to Chris Matthew's wives' opponent to try to help him win. I hope to help make sure that if Hillary wins the nom. and president she will be surrounded by people who share Bernie's mindset on issues.

[liberal N proud]

20. There have been many here saying they would rather have Trump

[DUbeornot2be]

53. I wouldn't...

...rather have trump but I really don't see much difference when it comes down to it. Both will set the stage for corporations to thrive and for citizens to pound sand.

they both play the same games for money and power...

I'm voting for Bernie twice because he's a man of integrity who votes for me...!

[liberal N proud]

58. Look no further than the responses to this post

Hope you all enjoy Tumpmerica!

I think I might have to leave.

[DUbeornot2be]

63. Have fun...

...with your campaign of fear and intimidation.

I'm not a coward!

[tk2kewl]

65. really? i missed that... where did any Bernie supporter on DU say that?

[liberal N proud]

66. Read this thread

[tk2kewl]

68. so far i see nothing of the sort.

if you think not voting for Hillary means some one *wants* trump, then you do not understand what is happening

[jack_krass]

67. Not rather have Trump...

But see little difference between Hillary and Trump

[passiveporcupine]

69. Many? How many?

I haven't seen it, and I'm not doubting a few have, but many? I don't have time to read every thread.

[SylviaD]

79. Yes, I have encountered them.

But, I must admit I prefer Trump to other Republicans especially Bush and his ilk.

[DrDan]

24. Bernie can compete in Kansas? lololol

[PyaarRevolution]

32. Don't assume shit about my state.

It's suspected that Brownback committed voter FRAUD in this last election. Yes, you read that right. I said voter fraud so before you think we're a lost cause, a bunch of lemmings willing to follow Brownback over a cliff, think again. You can look up the article in the Wichita or Topeka paper I believe and the info was coming from a statistician saying the info just doesn't wash.
If we want either Democratic nominee to get the Presidency we need to lean hard on getting rid of those machines, including everyone who lives in an electronic state dropping a sample paper ballot in that box with that anti-machine organization. If you don't see one at the polls or read about it, sign up with them and get a friend to sign up for it as well.
Oh and I think where Bernie has stood on gun rights in representing Vermont will help him, not hurt him, in states like KS and others in the GE and will definitely generate some crossover votes.

[DrDan]

88. lived in topeka for 18 months - ever heard of vern miller - the ag? he was my neighbor

tried to stop flights over Kansas that served liquor

took a job in east Africa to get out of topeka

[sister_rosa_refried]

43. Mr. Trump thanks you, dear

[CoffeeCat]

91. And we thank the DNC for

putting their thumb on the scale for HRC, a warmonger who was endorsed last Friday by Robert Kagan, the founder of PNAC and the godfather of the entire neocon movement.

Thanks for offering us a candidate that is fully entrenched with the neocons and powerful Wall Street interests--disgusting things that, ten years ago, our party used to fight against.

Don't offer us a shit sandwich and then fault us for not being able to stomach the offering.

[peacebird]

99. Exactly, CoffeeCat, exactly.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"hubby & I will not vote for Hillary. Period."

If this is not worthy of a hide and a tombstone, then why even call it DEMOCRATIC Underground any more. Losing another "#Bernieorbust" non-democrat would not be all that much of a loss anyway.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Feb 28, 2016, 05:34 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Please read the TOS. Hillary is not our nominee. If this poster says this after the convention, you'd have a point. But you don't. Stop. NOW. And snide comments in your alert tend to be more worthy of a hide.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Did I just wake up like Rip Van Winkle, sleeping through the entire primary process?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Go Stalin-ize another site.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Enough of this. This is the DEMOCRATIC Underground, not I will take all me toys and stomp off and help elect a Republican Underground. This person needs to be shown the door.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Agree with the alerter - this is grounds for an immediate ban (several others recently have been banned for saying similar, last one this morning!) I vote to hide, and will alert on the jury results so the administrators will take appropriate action.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And Juror #7, I've also taken it upon myself to alert, but you probably aren't going to like what my alert said. As one without a foot in either camp (merely voting for the nominee) and without a red-hot bias, I sent this:

This appears to be an ongoing spat. Because juror number 7 has stated he/she will alert the results, I've taken it upon myself to do the same. There alerter him/herself posted a rather disruptive comment in his/her alert so this should be looked at as a wash. Thanks!

Because it's true. All y'all need to cut it the hell out.

[Downwinder]

82. I'm in a red state so it doesn't matter if I vote

or who I vote for.

[Matt_in_STL]

31. Hillary already said we can't have those things

So do I trust her or not?

[PyaarRevolution]

80. So what?

That's why, in the event she gets the nomination, you keep heaping on the pressure, even after her inauguration. Obama told everyone to go home and that's a big part of the reason why he didn't get some of what he wanted to change changed. That being said, he did turn into a giant hypocrite on DADT despite his campaign promising to end it. You can thank Nancy Pelosi in large part for DADT ending.
Additionally, don't forget how we got Civil Rights legislation passed. There was such enormous pressure on the Democrats, Kennedy then Johnson, that he had no other choice than to pass it. If we are asleep at the wheel then we'll get garbage like TPP shoved down our throats, along with the end of Net Neutrality, no tuition free college or Medicare for all; however, if we keep the pressure on and vote in the legislators who will enact the needed reforms we need we will see change.
The unfortunate thing is the denial of change Hillary and others are refusing to see. This change is happening and change is natural. Humans are inherently chaotic(albeit it's a small part of the makeup of our being), it's a coping mechanism for change.

[Matt_in_STL]

84. Yes, because Hillary has a great track record of listening to the little people

[PyaarRevolution]

87. If we put enough pressure on she'll have to pay attention or risk looking like...

She's not acting in the will of the people and coming off as a giant asshole.

We know her trust issues and she can't afford to make it worse if she gets the GE and doesn't listen. You think she'll be able to genderwash her presidency and ignore us? Fat chance if we march on Washington every year for the issues I outlined and more and do it every month within' our city in solidarity.

[greiner3]

90. Personally I find your response condesending, as in;

Ideal;

satisfying one's conception of what is perfect; most suitable.

And;

"...know how to get there."

But you know, if Hillary wins the nomination I will vote a straight Democratic ticket, as always but in the knowledge that 'getting there' by winking, lying and devious means will soon piss off so many people neither one of us may want to see it happen.

[onecaliberal]

2. It has nothing to do with her supporters for me, although they can be insufferable.

It's her lack of trustworthiness. Her lust for the office is all consuming to her. She cares not for working people. She is morally bankrupt.

[MisterP]

40. ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Hillary cares not for working people and is "MORALLY BANKRUPT??!" If that isn't over the top and worthy of a hide I don't know what qualifies... this is the presumptive Dem nominee, and poster is using descriptions likely to be found on free republic. Hide and a tombstone for this one.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Feb 28, 2016, 04:23 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Sigh.
Even though I admit to complex/mixed feelings about Hillary, I think this post goes too far (at best it's just an unsupported opinion, and in my opinion at least half wrong).
But, unfortunately, other posts in the same thread are just as bad.
(I'm most alarmed by a poster upthread who says that she and her husband will not vote for Hillary, no matter what. It's that kind of futile thinking that got us W. in 2000).
So I can't justify hiding this one in particular.

I'm looking forward to the general election when (please may this be true) we don't have to deal with this kind of stuff anymore
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I can't tell what the average level of insult of Dem candidate is flying around DU at the moment. I have seen some pretty bad things left, so I'll leave this one.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: All true, that why I expect it to be censored.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Clinton doesn't care for working people and has proven herself morally bankrupt in her foreign dealings and evisceration of the party
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

[ScreamingMeemie]

50. Someone is alert-stalking these posts.

I posted the results of another jury up above. One in which the alerter was also over the line. I alerted on the alert, which is just a thought for this one.

[Lizzie Poppet]

55. Same here.

Sure, I've lost all respect for a depressingly large number of them here...but even if they were perfect angels I'd be rejecting their corporatist candidate.

[djean111]

4. To be fair, though - nothing anyone says, in any manner whatsoever, changes that Hillary

supports war, the TPP, fracking, the Third Way, Wall Street, cluster bombs, and increased H-1B visas. Partial list of stuff I despise. So as far as I am personally concerned, her supporters can rant and scold and condescend and attempt pathetic guilt trips all day long, and I still cannot support a candidate who supports those things I hate. Take her name off those things, and it could be a GOP candidate. Sending children back to die? Who does that sound like?

[BernieforPres2016]

10. I agree, whether Hillary's supporters are nice or insufferable I'm not going to vote for her

The same goes for Hillary. She has a long and consistent track record of being corrupt and on the wrong side of one issue after another. What she says she's going to do in an effort to get votes is meaningless to me.

[PyaarRevolution]

15. If she gets the nom. fairly.

Before any Hillary supporters attack me I wish to be clear. When I say fairly I mean that they don't nominate Hillary at the convention with Bernie and Hillary at a tie.
If that doesn't happen vote for Hillary if she gets the nom. and keep on pressuring her. Show up at campaign events and demand tuition free college and medicare for all. Keep it up even past her inauguration on all those issues you feel serious about and she will change on those issues or look like a failure.

[djean111]

95. She does not care about that. If she wins, she has won. That's pretty much her goal.

And then she can get cheerily busy on the Third Way and PNAC to-do list. Why would she care about what the people think? She will have gotten enough votes, and really needs nothing more. IMO the GOP will cooperate on the things they wanted anyway, and we will just be treated to a sickening display of "buy-partisanship".

You think Obama cared one bit what voters thought when he put chained CPI on the table? or that there was a huge negative response to Fast Track and the TPP? You think Hillary will "expand Social Security" for the very poorest - and raise the cap to pay for that? Bwahahahaha! No, that would be the only "redistribution" that would happen, she will just lower payments to others. The only "cap" that would be raised is the budget for war.

[bigtree]

6. Sanders supporters are responsible for themselves

...and aren't above reproach.

It's funny that you believe Sanders and his supporters are some sort of victims of people's expressed opinion. Even more curious when considering how much of the Sanders supporter effort here is anti-Hillary, more than it's pro-Bernie.

[Skittles]

85. hoo boy, you got THAT right

I got tired of it very quickly

[bigtree]

12. 'Hillarians' suggest that you have no real regard for unity

...just a petty appeal for impunity for Sanders folks.

[SidDithers]

17. Welcome to DU...nt

Sid

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. I'm sure y'all will repeat it another 10,000 posts though

I learned from another post on DU that calling Bernie "nice" and his supporters "committed" is also not the way to get them to vote for the Democratic nominee in November.

So, basically, you guys are simply not going to vote for the Democratic nominee if it's not Sanders. OK, fine. But do you have to keep telling us like you're one of those crossfit people?

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

[ScreamingMeemie]

51. Alerters have been very, very busy on this thread.

At least this alerter didn't call for an immediate ban!!!111!!

On edit, forget what I said. I missed the second part on my first read-through. Hopefully this is the same person alerting and he/she has been put on a time out. I alerted on my jury results.

[HubertHeaver]

57. The alerts seemed to be written by the same person.

The "turn of phrase" is very familiar.

[ScreamingMeemie]

60. I completely agree.

I sent an alert on the one jury result I sat on the jury for because that's pretty blatant.

[Lizzie Poppet]

62. And if so, they're done for the day.

Got the good ol' "0-7 timeout."

[ScreamingMeemie]

64. Thank goodness!

[Lizzie Poppet]

56. A shutout!

Unexpected...

[HubertHeaver]

59. A 0-7 time-out!

Rolled the dice one too many times.

[ScreamingMeemie]

61. Yup. I had been napping, and then I got up and received an alert the

second I logged in for this thread. If I had continued sleeping, they probably would have gotten away with another silly hide. The one I served on was a 4-3 leave.

[LWolf]

11. Of course it isn't.

I find the idea that I would duck and shuffle into their line after one loss ludicrous.

I won't be doing that at all. Ever. My choices after the convention will be made according to what I see as the best way forward; not what they want me to think or see.

In all honesty, the best way to lose my GE vote is to try to bully, intimidate, or shame me into shutting up, getting in line, and voting as I'm told.

[nashville_brook]

21. this should not even have to be said -- it's the result of DNC entitlement that

"the party" finds itself in this position. if people don't show up to vote in the General, there will be a clear reason why and we'll turn our attention to electing good progressive Congress folks and state/local people in the mid-terms. the bright side this just that...should HRC win, we'd likely lose the house and senate forever and many states up for reapportionment in 2020 will go R as well.

[truedelphi]

28. I will never ever hold my nose to vote for someone who is appalling -

I did that for the sake of the Democratic Party here in Calif. when Di Feinstein had Bustamante replace the People's Choice for Governor. And then Ahnold Schwartzennegger won that position.
And later I found out she had done this to get an "in" with Ahnold.

Friggin' Fuck em all! If they don't stand with the middle class and they sell us out in the back rooms, I owe them nothing!

[sufrommich]

22. I wonder if Bernie supporters ever think that may

work both ways. This is an ironic OP considering the past numerous OPs posted to degenerate Clinton voters,especially when Bernie loses. Here's a clue,Bernie supporters are getting noticed all over the internet,and not for their grace.

[jeff47]

30. Yes, that's why the most Internet-savvy demographic supports Sanders 70/30.

[Matt_in_STL]

33. I am sure they get noticed all the time

Just as soon as the Hillary supporters have their Bernie supporting grandkids come over to fix the darn Internet and show them where the browser is.

[nashville_brook]

45. work both ways, how? like HRC won't support the 99% once in office?

that's the basic idea here.

[BainsBane]

23. I haven't seen Clinton supporters or Clinton herself

making threats to try to compel people into supporting their candidate.

In her speech last night, Hillary made clear she is taking "nothing and no one for granted" and is working hard to "earn every last vote." That has been a consistent message on her part.

[jeff47]

29. There's plenty of posts continuing to do just that.

Though it appears the new talking point is to attempt reconciliation, based on the sudden shift in the attitudes of several DU posters.

[Warren Stupidity]

25. The lecturing and punishments have barely started.

Once she wraps this mess up the whip will start cracking. It will be a fine time to find other ways to goof off.

[truedelphi]

26. AND since this is occurring at the same time a DNC vice chairwoman is defecting -

It only proves how desperate they are!

[Milliesmom]

34. No matter who you vote for, just VOTE!!

Get out the vote, talk to people, no matter which Democrat they plan on voting for , get them to register, go to colleges, do events, get people interested. Just vote.
Due to voter Id laws, gerrymandering and purging, Democrats are not coming out to vote, get them out, or we will lose to Republicans and the thought of any of them in the WH makes me wake up at night in a sweat.

A political Revolution is not sitting at home on the computer, it's out working to mobilize and get out the vote and take all the Republicans out of office over the next 1-5 years. I am a 74 year old female and have been to 5 events already this year.

[Warren DeMontague]

35. I think it's important not to confuse the people here who take themselves way too seriously

with any actual campaign apparati.

I don't need any hectoring to support the nominee, since that's what I do always anyway. If people start sounding too much like the adults on "Peanuts" I just tune them out. I'll vote for HRC if she's nominated- I've assumed from the getgo she probably would be- and how much additional enthusiasm I put into the endeavour will depend on a multitude of factors, not the least being some improvements not just in the style of her campaign but also the substance.

Beyond that, I've said repeatedly the DNC in particular doesn't get another fucking dime from me as long as it is run by someone who allies herself with the likes of Sheldon Adelson to send sick people to prison for using medical marijuana.

[dchill]

36. K&R just for the title alone!

[Babel_17]

54. ditto (nt) :)

[hobbit709]

37. As I told someone once "There's two things I don't respond well to"

"What's that?"
"Threats and stupidity. And you're guilty of both"

The DNC is coming close to that line.

[Harcourdt Fenton Mud]

38. I wonder how many Hillary supporters were PUMAs in 2008. N/T

[Cary]

39. Who cares?

[Lordquinton]

41. The constant beratement of Sanders supporters to vote for Clinton

if she wins the GE doesn't help, and it's really not the people here that are the issue, it's just a way to silence any opposition. The problem is all the Sanders supporters out in the country who won't, and I see no attempt to reach a hand out to them. They don't have the same level of interest that we do here, so if their guy doesn't win, they might just stay home.

If Clinton looses it is squarely on her shoulders for a poor campaign.

[RoccoR5955]

[Geronimoe]

52. Clintons will never get my vote in part for the following

[dlwickham]

70. So you're saying that sanders supporters are spoiled children

[AZ Progressive]

78. It seems like that's how Hillary supporters see Bernie supporters as

The progressives and the liberals especially, as spoiled children wanting too much.

[SylviaD]

71. The main issue as I see it is that many Bernie supporters aren't even Democrats..

...some even say they do not support the Democratic party.

This makes it an uncomfortable situation as this is Democratic Underground not socialist underground.

Or am I incorrect here that despite our differences we are supposed to show basic respect for all Democrats especially should they get the nomination?

[Autumn Colors]

76. I've voted straight-ticket Dem. party candidates since 1980

That was the first election where I was old enough to vote. I've also donated money in the past (when I was in a better financial state) and volunteered. So don't you DARE try to say I haven't been a good Democrat for the last 35+ years.

However, if HRC gets the nomination by way of superdelegates overturning the will of the popular vote, I WILL be leaving the Democratic party (and will change my status officially to "unaffiliated&quot and will either be writing in Bernie's name or voting Green party. Which one that turns out to be will depend on whether a movement arises to write-in Bernie's name.

So, as of this date, I've been a loyal Democrat for over 35 years. However, that may change this year. Don't think I'm the only one.

Go ahead, DNC, give HRC the nomination by going against "We the People" and watch a major exodus of people from the Democratic Party.

I am NOT the only one.

PS: At that point, I will take an indefinite leave of absence from DU because I know that to promote anyone other than the Dem. candidate after the primaries is against TOS.

[SylviaD]

77. Well I didn't mean people like you, Autumn Colors!

I meant the new people who have joined just to support Bernie's bid for the nomination.

Some of them are fairly hostile to the Democratic party to be frank. It's Bernie Sanders or no-one for them, they will never even consider voting for Hillary or any other long time Democrat.

And some of them are hostile here on the forums as well.

[forjusticethunders]

96. Have you ever stopped to think

That the Democratic party hasn't done much for them and that's why they're not very loyal?

If the Democrats would fight Republicans as hard as they fight their own left, then we wouldn't need a Bernie Sanders political revolution.

[PowerToThePeople]

83. It is as much socialist underground

as capitalist underground.

I am a socialist, as I believe economic equality is the morally just way to manage an economy.

I am also a democrat, as I believe the people should all have an equal voice in the rules that apply to our society.

[SylviaD]

94. I meant "big D" Democrat. n/t

[creeksneakers2]

72. How do you suggest

getting Bernie supporters to join Democrats in the fall if Bernie loses?

[treestar]

73. I would have to say that many Bernie supporters

speak to Hillary supporters in a way that is not likely to motivate them either. How do they expect to convince me to change from Hillary to Bernie (and my primary is a couple months away) with these types of posts? Yours especially. All that does it show me you think you are superior, - I have to motive you to vote. I'm going to vote without having to have you motivate me.

[SylviaD]

75. Exactly!

If Bernie wins the nomination, I will vote for him!

Why is this so hard for Bernie supporters to do likewise.

[PADemD]

92. Bernie supporters are voting on issues.

As far as issues go, Bernie and Hillary are not interchangeable.

I'm voting for the person who will push for Medicare for all, a $15 minimum wage, and free public college.

Bernie is fighting against the TPP. Hillary praised it 45 times.

Calling all Clinton supporters "fascists" is something that trolls, not Democrats or sane people, do. But, then again, posts comparing Clinton to Adolf Hitler have been endorsed by DU juries, so maybe the trolls have taken over the site.
