So a post calling Bernie "a condescending motherfucker" was allowed to stand by a jury.

[thereismore]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by etherealtruth (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

I am tempted to call their candidate something, because I know I would get away with it, but I am better than that. We Bernie supporters are better than that.

I just sent $27 to Bernie, let's show them they are losing the nomination. Who is with me?

To a possible alerter: This is not a META post. This is a call to contribute to Bernie Sanders!

Adding link to the OP: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1433616

1. I be t exposing hypocrisy is probably just too delicious sometimes.

[FourScore]

2. How? Can you post the results? I need to see this! n/t

[thereismore]

5. This was my first alert since becoming a DUer in 2004.

JURY RESULTS

Someone else already alerted on this post before you alerted on it, and only the first alert was sent to a Jury. A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of the post on Mon Mar 7, 2016, 06:49 AM, and voted 3-4 to keep IT. Please note that even though your alert was not sent to a Jury, it has been forwarded to the Administrators who review all alerts.

[Lizzie Poppet]

30. Love to see full results...to read the doubtless utterly laughable rationales of the "leave its."

Assuming any of them had a shred of courage and actually described their thinking...

Hopefully the Admins will do the right thing. They're in the Hillary camp,but I trust their objectivity on this kind of vileness.

[thereismore]

32. I don't have them. Apparently I was not the first to alert this scum post. nt

[dana_b]

3. nah, you wouldn't get away with it

she's too delicate.

[NCTraveler]

14. Get away with what? nt.

[Codeine]

4. I guess you guys can't always own the juries. nt

[thereismore]

8. I am assuming that you agree with the OP then? You just showed what's inside of you. nt

[Codeine]

12. Not at all. I would have voted to hide.

But I've seen all manner of absolute filth allowed to stand by the Bernie-dominated jury pool in the last few months. Disgusting garbage time and again.

Somebody said a mean about Bernie and it stood. You'll live.

[bvf]

36. Pony up, then.

But I've seen all manner of absolute filth allowed to stand by the Bernie-dominated jury pool in the last few months.

No you haven't.

[stonecutter357]

24. +1000

[cyberswede]

6. If you complain about a hidden thread, it's meta.

If this is a call to contribute to Sanders, your OP title should say that instead.

[thereismore]

9. The thread wasn't hidden, that's the point. OK? If you feel so strongly about meta, go ahead. nt

[cyberswede]

15. I just wanted to let you know that this will probably be locked as meta.

Juries suck sometimes.

[thereismore]

22. Sorry, I am in a sour mood. nt

[giftedgirl77]

7. Get over it.

Contributing to Sanders is an empty investment.

[NCTraveler]

10. That is polite for many of the things allowed to stand.

META

[AllyCat]

40. Matter of degrees doesn't matter.

We are all better than that. I've been in juries supporting the poster in favor of Clinton many times because it's the right thing to do. But if you think only Sanders supporters do this, you are mistaken.

[NCTraveler]

43. "But if you think only Sanders supporters do this, you are mistaken. "

Where have I ever said such a thing?

[artislife]

11. That poster is what comes to mind when I imagine an h supporter.

So funny, we are really living that scene out of Life of Brian.


But it's true, we can't be led by mediocrity of fearful/compliant.

[floppyboo]

13. keep the smelling salts on hand

and give the poor gals and guys some time to recover from that outrageous 'excuse me' before you throw the motherfucker at them.

[nc4bo]

16. They are what they are. Fuck it.

Same as the candidate, she is what she is whatever that happens to be #WhichHillary?

[avaistheone1]

17. Just donated.

Go Bernie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thereismore]

20. Huge thank you!

[liberal_at_heart]

18. will do!

[thereismore]

21. Huge thank you!

[liberal_at_heart]

23. done.

[sufrommich]

19. And yet right wing sources and outright lies get rec'd

to the max by Bernie supporters:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511434455



http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1410802


I consider this to be way worse than name calling.

[Old Codger]

25. I believe the poster

Was really calling himself that...

[stonecutter357]

26. it is gdp, lol

[BernieforPres2016]

27. Good. Let stuff like that stand on Hillary's side.

Let people see who they are.

I was on my first jury yesterday, on a post about Hillary that was misogynist and vulgar beyond description. I suspect it was Brock style dirty tricks rather than an actual Bernie supporter. The vote was 7-0 to hide it.

[thereismore]

29. I have voted to hide posts about Hillary that came nowhere near direct name calling. In the end all

we can do is take the high road. Karma is a bitch.

[liberal_at_heart]

31. There are supposed Bernie supporters on DU that even have the Bernie avatar and yet say things

that no Bernie supporter would ever say.

[vdogg]

28. Sorry, but you guys don't have a leg to stand on.

When posts like thishttp://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1280&pid=133466 are allowed to stand, anything said about Bernie is fair game. I'd say likening fellow DUers to "Caged rats dining on feces" is far more egregious.

[still_one]

33. or when they devote entire threads to make personal attacks against specific people, and Hillary

supporters:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280133381

Obviously, the OP is unaware all the names that have been hurled at Hillary. Sometimes they are hidden, but most of the times they are left to stand.

Maybe the jury system has some inherent bias, you think

[deepestblue]

34. This is a call

This is a call to contribute to Bernie Sanders!

(I couldn't help myself)

35. The Bernie camp trying to be more civil it seems

by not hiding the comment.
Comment is still out of bounds and deserves an ignore.

[bhikkhu]

37. A function of pre-election polarization, I think

I've seen some vicious fact and issue-free posts and OP's allowed to stand, and some mild innuendo hidden. I think it has to do with the luck of the draw, who gets chosen for jury. Bernie supporters will allow a great deal of vitriol to be flung in Hillary's direction, and vice versa. Get the right jury and its no problem.

I'm voting for Sanders in the primary, btw, but I will happily vote for Hillary in the general if she wins the primary. They both support the Democratic party platform, and they are both in a good place on the issues. Having been through this more than once I've got some thick skin, but its never pleasant.

[DefenseLawyer]

38. Bernie is a bad motherfucker.

[TrueDemVA]

39. Money sent

Let them keep it up. Just means Bernie stays longer and we grow more determined to take the country back from these people pretending to be Democrats.

[thereismore]

41. A huge thank you!

[lastone]

42. DU is turning into a joke

Hillary supporters post in their group and ban anyone with even a reasoned non inflammatory reply, their own bubble to talk about their bubble candidate. Tactics used by Republican talk radio all the time, can't have our sycophants hearing anything negative now can we!

[Bad Dog]

44. A thread that was overtly racist in its condemnation of Black Southern Clinton supporters,

was also allowed to stand. A jury is only as good as those serving, and there are those in both camps who put their own prejudices before any sense of fair play.

[Dragonfli]

45. Well a long time posrtr had his jury privileges revoked for NOT hiding a post by George his highness

After not only lying but getting caught doing it in a vicious manner, because well. he's George and a Hillary poster.

The lie was proven and he followed it up right after with another transparent lie saying about a bar graph in visual form, "he'd seen that bogus graph several times and that the graph wasn't even fair because Hill polled as dishonest while citing his proof that it was a bogus bar graph by stating it was one that didn't even have Bernie on it!

Not only was it in picture for (as graphs are wont to be) but Sanders was the first politician on it, one of the only politicians whose honesty bar was higher than his dishonesty bar (by a large margin I might add).

This graphic was right above his post if you can believe that and the poster that had JURY privileges revoked (first time I have seen that arbitrary punishment) made the mistake of not hiding a truthful post alerted on by old George that was left standing by a 6 to 1 margin. I think his crime was his comment agreeing with the poster for calling George a liar.

In many ways this place is as fair as the MSM regarding reporting depending on the candidate.
I fully expect this to get locked even tho it is the truth and not a violation pointing out a "mistake"

[m-lekktor]

46. eh, that's mild compared to what i say about Hillary so I won't complain! nt

[ejbr]

47. That poster was right

Your highness should be able to interrupt an answer that was directed at him without complaint as she is the anointed one; rules of civility do not apply to her and she should be able to speak out of turn whenever she feels.
