Bernie is beautiful!

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by NH Ethylene (a host of the General Discussion forum).

but his supporters in DU are ugly

The infighting can only accomplish one thing and I think we all know what that is come election time.

Your enthusiasm is wrecking us and yes, I am supporting Bernie……… just not you

rightly so. If you want it to be Hillary underground you would have had to have it first be something like Corporate Underground, or Third Way Underground, Pragmatically we can't Underground etc.. Bernie is the candidate for democracy and rejection of the oligarchy. Bernie and Democratic are to most of the people symbols of the same struggle the people of the US face against the oligarchy and the influence they have on our government to subvert democracy to provide unregulated capitalism for their greed. Hillary ain't our target. She is, like in the wars she supports, collateral damage.
To us, Hillary's positions, except on womens where she, Bernie and Martin O Marley all are strong supporters of women, are already capitulations to her donor class and therefore not leading towards democracy. Her attempts to portray herself as understanding women/s struggles is eroded by her past support of welfare reform, her support by the prison industry, her past support of minimum sentencing, her continued insistence marijuana be listed as a very harmful drug, and her female pandering without consideration that her economic stances hurt women and their families more than than her social stances can benefit them. Her stance that the children sent here from Latin America should be sent home certainly was revealing of what kindness she really has in her heart. Donald Trump and Ted Cruz would have been proud. Women are smart , they are empathetic , and they are kind, more so than us men. They will continue to see none of this in Hillary or her campaign so most of them I suspect actually agree that this should be Bernie Underground. C'mon, like Democratic Socialist has been accepted as one who believes in democratic regulation of capitalism, lets embrace Bernie Underground.

All Democrats are allowed here, whomever they support.

Your post is nothing but unreadable propaganda. Have you ever heard of paragraphs and spacing?

The real question is - is a supporter of the oligarchy's candidate a democrat? Do you actually believe we have a democracy?

If so unreadable, why do you worry about responding? I think you protest too much. Maybe the length exceeds the attention span of many, but it must be readable to anger you to continually address style over substance, much like what Hillary's campaign appears to be.

Thanks for giving me the chance to point out the shallow nature of your attack, all style and no substance. Go Bernie!

On Sun Jan 24, 2016, 08:34 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling the majority of DUers ugly is uncivil shit stirring. Plus, this is in the wrong forum. I guess the poster wanted the insult to get maximum exposure.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jan 24, 2016, 08:49 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: My usual first thought: Anyone (usually from another candidate's team) who depends upon online forum members to decide how they vote or resorts to using the ole "if you don't do X, we'll have President Y) is suspicious, TO ME. This post just uses slight different tactic but it has the same result.

I still sense some BS but it's just not hideworthy.


Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Inappropriate for an OP.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Pretty ugly comment, but not any worse than others. Also wrong forum, but that is a job for admins. Sad that this is on DU but not any more OTT than any of the other crap posted daily. Reluctant leave.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Illogical and insulting.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If you can't stir shit in the General Discussion Forum, where CAN you stir it? The OP is hardly alert-worthy.
