(83,341 posts)37. What does this even mean
And yes, I voted for Hilary, as did just about everyone here because the atmosphere was made so toxic for Bernie supporters during the primaries.
I am having a hard time here understanding. You only voted for Hill because the atmosphere was made so toxic for Bernie supporters during the primaries.
What?
The toxicity was toward Hill not Bern...more revisionist history.
In fact, most Duers who left for JPR did so in reaction to the vicious piling on from Hilary supporters, who themselves were possibly influenced by anti-Bernie memes from the same sources.
I have to call this as revisionist history. The vicious piling on was not the Hill supporters. What exactly were the anti Bernie memes that you speak of? So you are telling me all those poor souls went and joined a hate site that promoted everything from pizza gate, to her ill with a deadly disease and called her the c word with the ADMINS permission.From what I read there they gleefully trash her.
Once lured to JPR, the Trussian manipulation began in earnest. The vast majority would never have left, much less voted for anyone but Hillary. without the nastiness afforded them here.
You were "Lured" to JPR? How so?
Aaaah the Trussians manipulated y'all when ya got there. Okie dokey. Let me see if I get this straight. Please correct me if I am wrong.
They lured you to join JPR? Must have been some great bait they put on that hook to lure so many. And you say you went there because people were nasty to you all and ya wouda coulda shoulda voted for Hill otherwise but for the nastiness here.
The vast majority would never have left, much less voted for anyone but Hillary. without the nastiness afforded them here.
OMFG. You never once thought about the Supreme Court? You never once thought about minority rights? You never once thought about the environment? You never once thought about our first amendment rights. You never once thought of all our children's futures? Never once...
The vast majority would never have left, much less voted for anyone but Hillary. without the nastiness afforded them here.
Please say it ain't so though I know it is.
Reason not to vote in the most important election in our lifetime...."They hurt my fee fees"

No. The Bernie supporters felt run off the DU ranch, so most went to the new digs at JPR.

"the atmosphere was made so toxic for Bernie supporters" -- the word "for" is wrong.

It didn't start out that way. As I said, it became a breeding ground for Trump/Russia trolls

As many Sanders supporters as possible had to be pushed to reject Hillary. It wasn't automatic.

They'd have to take responsibility first and so far none I've seen have done that.

I think any such request must be accompanied by significant ads-kissing to be considered...
