This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the General Discussion forum).
I would like to know that why is it that that group can chose to call Bernie supporters "Bernistas", and sput untruths about Bernie and denigrate anyone not supporting HRC, but they can't take criticism. As I pointed out there is much worse to come their way from the GOP and they need to be prepared - alienating fellow DU'ers is not the way to go.

Don't take it personally, it just means you have a shred of principle and intelligence.

(3,735 posts)Bernie group early on for questioning their use of quotes from Ann Coulter to denigrate Hillary. Don't speak to me of integrity, principle or intelligence when a group consistently uses rightwing media as one of its tools to attack a Democratic candidate.
It is insulting to label a group of people as lacking principle or intelligence because they don't agree with that's group's opinions.

However, you may not realize your post is meta. And will probably be locked.

(51,308 posts)I could never find any post in that group.
It certainly would have been accidental; that's for sure lol.
I couldn't be arsed to research it further however.

(51,308 posts)Yeah, I remember that thread, but didn't realize it was the BS group.
So there ya go.

(39,961 posts)On this matter - we don't. I am not sure if there is a group anywhere on the internet that is as incapable of tolerating a hair of anything short of absolute fawning over a candidate as that group.
It's the 4chan of political discourse.

(16,974 posts)they are very thin skinned and use their little club to try and safely attack others. In fact they get pissed when they get hides due to breaking community standards, they think they should be exempt.

Christ, this is getting dragged into here and I'm actively avoiding the hell out of GD:_P because it serves no purpose other than to snipe at one another.
Thank you for dragging this shit into GD.
