HRC Room. Just saw that we were refer to as a toxic wasteland here.

HILLARY CLINTON ROOM


But we are the ones causing the issues. Just classic!

I expect this behavior from people that were banned from DU, Will Twain comes to mind.

But posters calling us out like this whether long term or short term is just wrong.

We have safe havens for a reason.

I know i wm not perfect and people can point out my faults but I do not say the Sanders group is bad.

It is their big event Senator Sander's (I-VT) kickoff.

Maybe nothing much at Huffington Post, but I did find a reference to BS kickoff, interesting perspective:

....should get an automatic hide. It is pointless and divisive as hell. Afaic it pegs those who engage in such talk as having nothing worthwhile to contribute, and having an agenda of bringing the Democratic Party down.

are doing great harm to him and whatever causes he believes in.

I mean they dived right into the republican smear playbook weeks ago. They have well established by now that they hate most democrats.

I'll be shocked if Bernie pulls out one primary win anywhere. Him winning the nomination is funny in the extreme!

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

The post in question got hidden, no reason to call the poster "the pos" (piece of sh*t) on top of it.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue May 26, 2015, 08:47 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Clutch your pearls and shut the f--- up. I vote to leave it alone.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: How does anyone know this wasn't a typo?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I know hrmjustin, and I don't think he would deliberately call anyone a POS. I suspect he meant to type "post." Leave it alone.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I did not know what pos stood for when explain changed my vote to hide. We have to be civil to each other or this board becomes useless.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Someone got their toes stepped on?
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm sure it's just a type of "post". hrmjustin isn't really a vulgarian like the rest of us.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

seems to think Hillary has magical powers.

Did you know that "Bernie" can order Japan to fix the continuing Fukushima disaster "asap?". That Japan wouldn't make a peep if he staged an invasion to get it done?

And he could order all nuclear installations shut down and create millions of jobs in alternstive energy?

Somebody's hallucinating here, and I don't think it's us.

Edit: Vowels make a difference. Or maybe it was a Freudian slip.
