Good primary, everyone.

7. I thought 2008 was nastier

We had so many "PUMAs" who eventually got banned. TBH, there are only a few people still here whom I remember being 2008 Hillary supporters. And 2008 was definitely nastier between the campaigns than 2016 was, although they did unify earlier.

I think part of the reason people remember 2016 being worse was because of the post-general election recriminations on this forum. We didn't have that in 2008 because our candidate won. If Obama had lost, I imagine there would have been similar post-election sniping about whether Hillary would have won and whether she cost him the election by not being supportive enough.
