I'm going to make this short and sweet. For anyone who thinks that Barack Obama's win tonight gives them license to act like a moron, anyone who wants to taunt Hillary Clinton supporters, or anyone who thinks that they "deserve" to gloat, get the hell out.
This isn't about you, jackass.
This is about them:
And this:
And this:
It's not about you, your ego or your willingness to further divide the party because you think Hillary gives you the right to act like a dick.
So before you make that comment about Hillary's ass, or show your own- Just stop.
It's time to come together around this:
Quick refresher for anyone who thinks "Na Na Na Na, Hey, Hey, Goodbye" is an appropriate taunt of Hillary Clinton and her supporters:
What is the purpose of this site?
This is a Democratic blog, a partisan blog. One that recognizes that Democrats run from left to right on the ideological spectrum, and yet we're all still in this fight together. We happily embrace centrists like NDN's Simon Rosenberg and Howard Dean, conservatives like Martin Frost and Brad Carson, and liberals like John Kerry and Barack Obama. Liberal? Yeah, we're around here and we're proud. But it's not a liberal blog. It's a Democratic blog with one goal in mind: electoral victory. And since we haven't gotten any of that from the current crew, we're one more thing: a reform blog. The battle for the party is not an ideological battle. It's one between establishment and anti-establishment factions. And as I've said a million times, the status quo is untenable
Got that?:
and yet we're all still in this fight together
The fight to change our country. The fight to take back our government. The fight to make the world just a little better than we found it: We can't win that fight if we are acting like children and fighting each other. Fighting Hillary Clinton or her supporters won't help Barack Obama, you aren't doing anything to help recruit new supporters, and you aren't helping beat John McCain.
So if all you want to do is keep this primary fight going, if all you want to do is rub it in and gloat, then you aren't a Democrat and you don't deserve to be on this board. Because this board is for electing Democrats, not giving people an excuse not to vote for them.
It's a shame that too many of us don't seem to understand that.
