Trashing The Few Remaining Dead-Ender Threads That Pop Up

I get it: they lost. They're pissed.

Fine. Find somewhere else to do your whining. The rest of us have moved on to the important work of electing Hillary as our next president.

IMHO, the best thing to do is to trash those threads that are still advocating against the Dem Party and our nominee. Those people have overstayed their welcome, are powerless to change the outcome and aren't worthy of our attention.

Trashing threads is just playing Whack-a-Mole. Use IGNORE on the thread posters. Find peace in bulk. BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #6

It's like I see a fuse burning to a potential bomb and I feel I need to run over and snuff it out.

The thing is, when that fuse gets to the end there'll just be the soft pop of a dud anyway. I could probably just ignore them.

Since the news media knows who the candidate is, they too will begin ignoring Sanders now and the "campaign" will just fizzle out on it's own very soon. Sanders can't run if no one listens.

I see something trending that has bernie in the subject, I trash the thread and the person who posted it. I am not going to apologize for it either

Now that they've all migrated to their little Not Hillary Party site, this place is starting to become same again. The Bernie supporters who are staying are representative of the ones in real life who understand what is at stake.
