2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFuck acquiescing to Hillary's Hail Mary!
What's the urgency? Honestly, what does Hilteam expect to gain from this? Barring a revelation, it won't substantially move numbers, so all I can think is that it's a ploy to embarrass Sanders. Are these really the kind of people we want running the country?

(11,101 posts)One is to embarrass Sanders, the other is to make it appear that there is a "riff" between DWS and the Clinton Campaign so combat the (factually true) narrative that the DNC has its thumb on the scale for Hillary.

The whole thing seems to rely on SBS being pressured to break a promise, showing he is untrustworthy too!
Then the DNC can cancel future debates, since HRC does poorly in them, shining in staged forums.
This is to delegitimize SBS, showing that he's just like the rest of them.
===
If Sanders is the only one who refuses unsanction debates, and HRC & MOM goes though with theirs, will the authoritarian DWS kick HRC & MOM out of the two debates?
If DWS does kick HRC & MOM out, can there be debates, or will they get canceled too?
I am certain that SBS will not be giving the stage alone to run a Q&A forum, since he didn't break his word.

Looks like a couple of mean cuss words that described the CONTENT OF THE OP and not the OP themselves. There was no personal attack. And it was no more over the top than the lie and false accusation that was being perpetrated in that OP.

The language doesn't bother me. I curse like a drunken sailor. The personal attack stood out to me, which was the reason for my question.
Anyway. I doubt we'll agree on this.

(9,463 posts)...the content of the post itself.
So, go ahead and bold the personal attack part of my post.

(20,043 posts)why you thought this was hidden.
I was wrong to infer that cursing had nothing to do with the hide. Go ahead and get a screenshot of that. It played a part, but it's not just cuz you used curse words--at least in my opinion.
Here's what *I* think. I don't think curse words alone-in most cases-will get a hide. Believe me I've dropped a ton of f-bombs in a lot of combos.
What would have led me to hide this is the cursing was directed at the other poster in an very aggressive manner. Repeatedly. You basically cursed her out--for lack of a better word/phrase
I'm sure you won't agree, but there's your answer. You asked, I've answered.
edited because I screwed up...a lot.
ChisolmTrailDem
(9,463 posts)...that was dishonest and unfair and attempted to propagate a lie and a false accusation. My words and ire was carefully directed at the message, not the messenger. Hell, I never even looked at the posters nick before responding. That sort of devious, deliberate, deceitful misrepresentation of a good man was completely out of line and over the top. But do you see me alerting? Perhaps I should and use the same excuse my alerter did to get me hidden. Who knows, maybe I'll bet a Bernie-heavy jury to get it done.
Thanks for coming back to this, btw.

(22,271 posts)I got sloppy and have two hidden at the moment. I keep having to put the Hillary supporters on Ignore because I keep allowing myself to get sucked into their taunting. Stupid move on my part. If I can't see them they can't rile me.
ChisolmTrailDem
(9,463 posts)...people here than Hillary people, I would probably quietly fade away from DU. But when we win, this place will be ours for at least four years. So, I'll stick around and try to be more careful while AGGRESSIVELY calling out the BS when I see it.

(2,717 posts)ridiculous since Hillary is the reason there are only 6 sanctioned debates in the first place and now she's trying to have it both ways. No, they definitely aren't the kind of petty, untrustworthy people I want running the country.
BainsBane
(53,003 posts)is for not having more debates. Yet now, as soon as Bernie changes his mind, you do a complete about face. Now you don't want debates, claim they are a sign of desperation, on and on.
Bernie sent you all out rallying against the DNC. He ratched up anger toward the DNC and used it for fundraising, and you all fell for it hook, line and sinker. Even right after the debate schedule was announced, O'Malley tried to organize additional debates but Bernie didn't go for it. You all ignored that and kept complaining about the DNC being unfair to Bernie by not having more debates. Now you turn on a dime, with no shame whatsoever.
We have seen this on one issue after another: guns, drones, immigration--anything Bernie says is gospel, including his criticism of Civil Rights groups.
Clearly the only thing many care about is Bernie's career. That is not a principle or a cause. No revolution is about one man, except for a "revolution" that exists only as a campaign slogan.
whatchamacallit
(15,558 posts)I really don't care if Bernie does the debate. I do care if the corrupt a-holes who created this mess try to put him over a barrel. Now that you've suddenly found your democratic spirit, you need to convince the shill head of the DNC to embarrass herself and sanction the debate for you.
ChisolmTrailDem
(9,463 posts)...obligation to attend a debate that is formed solely for the purpose of attempting to benefit Hillary? On the other hand, DWS could sanction the event and Bernie will be there. But when she does, it's a tacit admission that Hillary needs the help and that the DNC is controlled by Hillary, not DWS. Personally, I love those optics better than no debate.

(3,655 posts)Hillary snubbed the party and stayed on the ballot in Michigan. This is just another reason why I can't stand the Clintons, they think the rules don't apply to them.
