2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIf HRC's supporters are so SURE Bernie can't win, why are they so obsessed with forcing him out NOW?
Shouldn't they just be chilling out and letting things happen in their own good time?
What's the harm in actually letting Democratic voters have a real choice all over the country?

(15,429 posts)Treating his supporters identical to the way they treat Hillary supporters, on the other hand, is pretty much what any discussions in the primary season are all about.

(50,303 posts)I'm obviously a Bernie supporter, but I've tried to temper my complaints about Hillary since I may have to vote for her in the general. I very much resent the implication that all Bernie supporters are horrible demons who must constantly be countered by saying things that are twice as bad and twice as untrue as whatever was said about Hillary that got their goat in the first place. This place is starting to sound like recess on the playground. If Hillary is the nominee, Hillary "supporters" will have contributed to any loss by alienating people not usually interested in politics who are now Bernie supporters. Dump on them now and you won't see them in November.

(50,254 posts)The polls do show that HRC's lead among AA's is slipping, though. And Bernie is getting more and more AA endorsements.

(24,437 posts)I'm not glued to DU or the news 24-7-365 but this is the first I've heard of it. The primaries haven't even started, which would make any such effort- if it even exists- pretty idiotic. On a related note, I have seen many BS supporters seem certain beyond a doubt that HRC will doom our chances to win the WH next year when arguing for voting for Bernie.

(30,481 posts)The only post I have seen asking anyone to drop out was a recent one by a Sanders supporter with respect to O'Malley.

(17,865 posts)Nobody in the Hillary camp cares when sanders drops out. You are blowing things out of proportion
Aerows
(39,961 posts)demoralize your foe and continually pound a message that you are the only person that can win.
And oh boy, when that strategy fails, be on the look out for some gutter sniping.
