Ha! I early voted for Hillary in the FL primary, but have been barred from the Hillary Group ...

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

... for the offense of saying that Michigan is a "game-changer".

Sheesh.

DU is a trip, man.

They only allow truthiness in that group, it seems.

But, it probably wasn't cool to say that to the group. They are in pain right now. I don't know if you personally are or not, but I think you aren't really all that bummed right now, maybe just a bit disappointed.

I got bumped from there after 1 post, and that post wasn't anything bad as far as I could tell.

Especially to do that to someone who is a Hillary supporter.

And they wonder why more and more people turn against them. They are up to 674 banned so far. I wonder if they're hoping to reach a thousand before the convention?

I try not to get pissed because it doesnt really matter. I got blocked from the sanders group when I was still going to vote for him, no biggie.

I'd hate to see them doing a purge.

Third Way or the Highway?

By the way, why on earth would you vote for Clinton?

I like both Sanders and Clinton equally well (their net positives and negatives are equal in my mind) ... the protected groups seem to be more for cheerleading (which is not necessarily a bad thing), than discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the selected candidate
