Sportsmanship matters [View all]

I understand the sore feelings with Sanders supporters. They've said and done some terrible things in regards to Hillary and her supporters. I get it. But Clinton supporters shouldn't rub it in. Remember who these people are. They are our friends. They are our ideological partners. Many of us supported the same candidates as them in 2008 or 2004 and likely will again in 2020 or 2024.

I'm not saying we should accept dead ender talk about the convention or letting Trump win, but there is no need to personally denigrate, ridicule, or taunt individual supporters. We will need each other in the future.

EDIT: It is OK to rub it in with HA Goodman. He's not on our side on any level. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107158814
