I'm ashamed that Skinner, Elad and EarlG can't get a grip on this crap. That really pisses me off. No wonder we've had so many good people leave. We have been here too long to let this stand for what we had to deal with with 8 years of a *president that wasn't elected but selected by the Supreme Court, and all we heard was "get over it."

Thu Mar 3, 2016, 11:18 PM
Mar 2016

Is only surpassed by the far more grievous atrocity of Cha's believing that she has a right to vote as she thinks best rather that following the command of a group online posters determined that they are the only people fit to determine the next president.

An FYI to native Hawaiians, when you retire be sure to move from your home state so as not to make your betters jealous.


An election strategy for the record books: when one's candidate can't win on his own merits, dox his opponents supporters. Never acknowledge they are fellow citizens with the same constitutional rights as yourself. instead publicly call them out; post their home locations, and do everything necessary until they regret daring to imagine themselves equal citizens of a nation that belongs only to the few who think and vote exactly like you.

There's one huge problem with their strategy, BB.. it's not working. They have no clue that I consider it a feather in my cap to be piled on by such.. I'm in excellent company.. those who have been dissed for supporting Hillary.. John Lewis, Delores Huerta, Sherrod Brown, the Unions, the Black Caucus, The Hispanic Caucus, the Farm Workers Union, James Clyburn, my fellow Hill fans, Katy Perry, Elton John, James Taylor... etc etc etc.

Posts like those remind me of people who harass the people who have broken up with them. Just move on already.

We don't have to put up with any intruder for whatever reason.. it's our group our discretion.

They take their chances. it's for Hillary Supporters

They have the whole rest of the board .. for snark, disagreements, insults, whine.. what have you.

just how difficult is it for someone to figure out which forum they are about to post in? I am looking at the screen right now and I see the name of the forum pretty clearly.

I get that people might be flipping around from forum to forum which is why sometimes a GD thread pops up in the lounge but I really don't get how you can go from a latest link, get an idea for a post, and then not realize where you are posting. Or once you do, not delete it and repost it where you want it?

And by the way, for any lurking Bernie Group members, I was banned from your group because I apologized for accidentally sending a TOS alert for one of your meta threads. I didn't realize it was in the Bernie group. When I posted to apologize, I was instantly banned from your group, even though I had actually been a member of your group and had never posted anything negative about Bernie there.

And I've never complained.

Every one of the people who recced that thread attacking Cha is a bully who applauded doxxing a DUer who did nothing wrong, nothing at all. And you're cowards for reccing such a thread in a protected group where Cha can't defend herself.

And I'm totally unimpressed with the hosts of the Bernie group, letting that crap stand.

And with you, She!

I do not care who my friends here support in the primary because I trust my friends and we all understand clearly that in spite of disagreements on our choices in the primary, we all have to stand together in November or we are all likely to lose!

Too many people are looking for the magic pony, and if they don't get their magic pony they are going to take their toys to their room and not play anymore.

They are partially correct. We all want our magic pony. The deal is that I have been politically active since I was a precinct delegate for McGovern in 1972. And I learned pretty damned quickly that there are no magic ponies. Yet every four years I still strive to get that same damned magic pony. It is what pushes us ALL forward, often in the face of crushing adversity.

It is that optimism that pushes us forward, to work hard for our political goals.

Let us all not forget that optimism.

My best to you all. May the best candidate win so that we can put our best face forward in November.

Then, we are going to pound the fucking shit out of the GOP. At minimum we have the White House and the Senate if we stay united. But we also have lots of work to do on those state houses and the US House. And let's turn around some of these governorships which cannot be Gerrymandered.

As Major Kong once said: "Let's get er on the hump! We've got some flying to do." (Dr. Strangelove allusion -- sorry!)

As always, my best.

And it shows in no uncertain terms what they oppose. Also note that not targeted are any bankers or corporations. Instead, ordinary voters, civil rights activists, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, the mothers of those who died in racist killings, John Lewis, Dolores Huerta, and one Union after another, and of course their first target Black Liives matter.

And as a Sanders supporter I disavowed that post. I'm not sure if that's why I was blocked, again, from the Sanders group, waiting on the reasoning. I would think that disavowing a banned troll callout thread as a Sanders supporter wasn't enough reason to ban someone from a group. I feel as though the hosts there are not doing their job correctly.

137. Hi Josh! Let me share how I was banned from the Bernie group.
Fri Mar 4, 2016, 08:49 AM
Mar 2016

I was a member of both the Bernie and Hillary groups. Never said anything negative about either candidate.

One day I saw an obvious meta thread, thought I was in GD-P, so I alerted to hosts. Then I saw it was in the Bernie group, so I apologized in the thread. I was instantly banned.

Yep. I was blocked from the Bernie group for apologizing to their hosts for an accidental SOP alert that they easily ignored. Said nothing negative about Bernie at all.

I didn't post a Meta thread in GD-P or GD or here complaining about it. Imagine that.

138. Did you appeal the block?
Fri Mar 4, 2016, 08:57 AM
Mar 2016

I was once blocked for getting into an argument with another poster there. I appealed it and it was removed. I since had to put that poster and about a half dozen others on ignore because of their toxicity and my participation rate dropped.

This time, however, I was blocked within minutes of disavowing that call out thread created by a troll who got banned, particularly because the sentiment is not something Sanders would be for. I disavow it because it is not who I am, and who Sanders is. It looks bad on me, a supporter who actually got delegates (and indirectly a state) for Sanders, and it looks bad on a great man. This is not hard stuff to understand.

I like being able to have the freedom to support my preferred candidate, particularly because my state went for Sanders. Since I believe the block is in error I will wait to see what they have to say.

You haven't heard.. I'm mean! I block BS supporters from Hillary's Group.

That's just one of my sins.. not sure what the others are 'cause I'm not reading the stupid thread.

I just wish the rules would have been enforced to not call out anyone by name on the board.. protected group and all

Yah, that's some fine noses for propaganda you've got there! Also something about how smart they are to get all their news online and have a tight-knit online community so are not fooled. Nobody can pull the wool over THEIR eyes, no sir. 247 or whatever recs. HA.

We're in good company though.. all the Hillary supporters that sanders and his surrogates have thrown under their bus.. John Lewis, Delores Huerta, James Clyburn, Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown, all the Unions, the United Farmers Union, the Hispanic caucus, the Black caucus, Hillary, President Obama... the list goes on forever!

The silver lining is hearing from you all and the troll got booted.. I was alright .. it's the breaking of the rules that I cared about. And, why? Because I blocked someone from our Group. Shocking.

I really appreciate your sweetness!

the vicious attack on Cha. If I do see it, I will trash it and put the poster on "Ignore" if that poster is still around.

I am also happy to have seen your beautiful rant. I am proud to stand with Cha!

DU has been mortally ill for some time now. The level of toxicity and the regular reposting of discredited B***S*** from RW websites that are allowed to stand and that receive hundreds of recs here are far cries from mere disagreements about which candidate to support. Disagreements are a healthy part of democracy. But the constant and deliberate vilification of an outstanding Dem candidate to the extent recently demonstrated and the constant and deliberate vilification and alert-stalking of her staunchest supporters is something that has only heretofore been seen to this extent by GOPers on those same RW websites.

This is something that should rightly be condemned and those who continue to act in such a manner and those who support them should no longer be welcome in any fashion whatsoever. Either that or DU as it once stood proudly is doomed.
