If you can't think of a reason, maybe it was an error - I've accidentally hit an ignore button on a person when I didn't mean to. It could be an innocent mistake.

Or maybe you failed the purity test, or the background check.

Are you now or have you ever been supportive of Bernie Sanders? Do you knowingly associate with anyone who is, or was at any time in the past, a Bernie supporter?
