(962 posts)All the more reason to unite and resist TOGETHER than continue to cleave and blame and disintegrate our efforts further. Posts that continue to attack people who supported Bernie or anyone who didn't sport a Hillary tattoo are just divisive. I left the dkos community because they refused to talk about Democrats living in poverty, or the simple fact that 2/3's of American's couldn't put $1,000 together if hit by an emergency. Markos' community shifted to center-left and less-affluent Democrats became almost unmentionable.
Now, a significant number in this community with "Underground" in it's name can't tolerate less-than-messianic reverence for a candidate who seems to have gone underground in defeat. I believe we've got to be for all Democrats-- the poor folks who showed up for Bernie AND the Greg Dworkins. Pissing on Cenk Uygur or Bernie or Michael Moore or Bill Maher doesn't move us forward one inch, and further inflames causes for division.
Hillary supporters wondered why Bernie supporters couldn't put aside their differences and just fall into line after the primaries since fighting Trump was the main objective. I ask the same people why they can't join with fellow Democrats to resist the orange monster?
