The "Hillers" by and large think that the party of Obama/Hillary has the right values and policies, and the "Berners" by and large think that we should move in more economically populist direction, and less emphasis in identity politics.

I know I speak for a huge segement of the "Hillers" when I say that a) HRC was not a perfect candidate -- divisive, polarizing,etc -- but we trusted the trajectory she established over the years and b) a large segment of the Sanders crowd spent all their time telling the rest of us the we weren't true progressives (I was called a neo-con at least one hundred times during the primaries).

Those attitudes carry on today at DU with big-mouthed "bros" draped in horrible attitudes who continue to attack HRC and her supporters.

Do we have a lot in common with these insufferable losers*? Who really cares? I really don't want to associate with them or their counterparts on the right.

*Keep in mind that most Bernie supporters are fine and have moved on. But the number of whiney, pouting, abusive jackasses is too large to ignore.
