(32,077 posts)I can't speak for everyone who went to JPR--there were a lot of us--but the OP doesn't call out " those who were non Democrats who joined DU to promote Bernie's candidacy.". The OP does not make any distinction between Bernie supporters--and why or how or when they came to support Bernie or how long they had been members or when they joined DU-- and that is a HUGE mistake.
I've been around for more than 10 years on DU.

The OP takes a broad brush and says anyone who came back from JPR is not welcome here. That is insulting. I voted for Hillary. And it won't help to fight Trump and that is where we need to focus.
Maybe it would be better to forget about insulting Bernie supporters--and for Bernie supporters to get over the Monday morning quarterbacking--and come together to fight Trump.
We need each other.
