2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumOnce again, what is the point of Hillary supporters continuing to post insulting Bernie....
Posts?
Soon the Bernie supporters who are not supporting Hillary will be gone.
Many Bernie supporters are now for Hillary to beat Trump.
But many still admire Bernie, why at this point insult them?
You won, what is the point of still being mean?

The Primaries are over. You didn't convince anyone here. You didn't convince any voters in the real world. And yet, they keep coming.

(45,319 posts)That's not very sound thinking. You don't even offer an example you just say 'Johnny does it too Mommy!!!!' as if that makes everything ok. I don't think that it does.

Just get over all this back and forth and MOVE ON. Both sides. Now.

Or that Hillary supporters are falsely crying sexism and racism?
what are you talking about
Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)business practices while Bill and Hillary socialized with him, legitimized him and praised him. They have also claimed that LGBT groups did no activism in the 80's at all, thus excusing themselves for not paying attention to the warnings. Now Trump is Hillary's rival and all of a freaking sudden Don's allies and fellow party goers wake up to what LGBT tried to tell them decades ago.
We were in the right. We should have been listened to. We might not even have Trump as a factor had the rest of this Party paid attention to the minority activists who kept trying to warn them but instead the Party went to Trump's house for cocktails.
I'm glad I did what I did, I've never been at Donald's elbow, I've always been his stated enemy. Always. To those who are late to that party I say welcome, but I remind them that they are in fact late to the party because they ignored those speaking truth and favored the racist bigot. Good that they wised up, better late than never. But late they are.

(17,441 posts)I don't see the point of your post either.
Perhaps "point" is not exactly what I mean. "Purpose" would be better. I don't think it (your post) will change anything, nor the posts you refer to.
People are venting after a difficult primary voting season, but that part of the nominating process is over.
At some point people have to just agree to disagree and move on.

(34,845 posts)OTOH, Sanders continuing to withhold his endorsement and demanding concessions is getting to be too much, as well.
tabasco
(22,974 posts)they insult Jimmy Carter, George McGovern, and other great democrats who lost elections. They tear down great Democrats who lost elections in a stupid comparison to Sanders, as a way to argue that H. Clinton is more electable. Any Democrat who insults great Americans like Carter and McGovern are no friends of mine and we will never have "unity."

(31,517 posts)There is nothing to be gained and everything to lose by the constant bickering and infighting that we are seeing from a very few of the supporters of each candidate. It's time to grow up and move on.

(8,776 posts)Part of their pleasure is gloating over the idea that they are "winners".
The meanest is human nature not confined to Hillary Clinton supporters.
Some of those that have perceived themselves as "losers" in the past are the less genial at being today's "winners".
