I want to say a big thank you to our hosts. HILLARY CLINTON ROOM


Thank you for all you do to keep this room going and free of disruption. It is not an easy job and you get grief for it but I have to tip my hat to all of you.




Stand tall for Hillary!

Now that I am no longer a host I have more freedom to use the ignore.

I put about 100 to 110 people on ignore last night because I realized it is pointless arguing with them and some of them are not what they are claiming they are. And the others want to see the absolute worst in Hillary.

There is no point in even trying to engage. Stay sane. It's a long primary season.

only during primary season.

Often, when I went back to review the list after the primaries, I found that many of the people I had on ignore had been tombstoned. LOL!

The jury blacklist feature was new to me. I didn't realize it existed. Don't forget that feature!

And just think we are the minority here and yet there are those in the majority accusing us of well you know, you've read the OP's (three in particular in the past couple of days).

As with any minority group they try to silence us and are pissed that they can't. We're a resilient bunch though and as we stand with our brothers & sisters of #BlackivesMatter another resilient bunch. We as well as them, too shall overcome.

We know what time it is here, we've read the PM's that certain members have sent to Hillary supporters and yet we are still here.

We cannot be silenced, we will not be silenced. You as well as I being part of the LGBTQ community have seen all the tricks used against us yet we are still here.

luckily we are only a minority on DU. All we have to do is wait till Hillary secures the nomination then the majority will hang their head in shame and just disappear here then we can go about the business of making Hillary the next President of the United States.

The end result is all that counts.

The minorities, yes we are resilient we have had to be. We have faced people trying to silence us for years. Women...LGBT...Jews...PoC...AA...more. All of us have been told to sit down and shut up. Others will tell us what is best for us.

Sorry, no that is not happening. United we will indeed stand, very tall, very brave. Together we will be fearless.

Thank you for your post!

They are trying to make us feel unwelcome but we will stay strong for Hillary.

And those ops are amusing on so many levels.

is "85%" according to Skinner.

They have the majority in the jury pool and a huge say in what gets locked as Meta. Some "meta" it seems is not as Meta as other META.. Hmmm? See how that works?

That's what I've thought over the last 7 years.. Fortunately, we are not the minority in the Real World .. Millions of People Love and Appreciate President Obama as they do Hillary. It matters not one bean.. the hate and vitriol that tries to pass for political discussion around here.

The hosts here do an excellent job, and do it without feeling the need to tutor or conducting training on how to act on this site.

I am so happy you are back here, you were sorely missed.

What I find great here, members are policing as well. None of the hosts can be here full time. I had two heads up by members here for ugly posts. I was able to act on them. We are a team, so I also give kudos to all of us. We are a great group. If you see something, please contact one or more of us.

TIA!

I've been here for 12 years and the atmosphere has never been as toxic as it has been the past few months. I can't stand seeing Democrats being trashed on a supposed Democratic Party board. So I hang out and read the threads in the HRC group instead and it makes me feel better.

Subscribers just passed mile marker 200!

Pretty good for fans of someone so demonized and vilified.

Thank you to hosts present and past who keep it clean, and a safe haven for supporters!
