Every other post supporting Sanders and putting down Hilary has been posted by or written by a Sanders supporterand they're often "bashing" as compared to "facts" because in many cases the facts are wrong. Even when the facts are right, the Bernie posts tend to say, "Bernie did this and down with Hilary!" Facts or not, that indicates the tone from Bernie supporters. It can't be simply "Hooray Bernie." It has to be "Hooray Bernie, boo Hilary!"
I honestly haven't decided who I'll vote for yet. I'm waiting to see who actually ends up in the primaries. But I'm telling you how the pro-bernie posts have struck me. I don' know if Hilary will get my vote, but the DU home page posts from his supporters need to be more "hooray Bernie" without the "boo Hilary" or I'll be turning away from him because I can't stomach that sort of thing again. I hated it when it happened with Obama/Hilary. I won't stomach it again.
Throw poo at GOP candidates all you like. But democratic supporters need to show civility towards the opposing side's supporters and candidate, or their candidate gets crossed off my list
