That was probably the dumbest thing I've seen yet from Camp Weathervane.

REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Can't this person disagree with people's message without calling their posts dumb?
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed May 25, 2016, 05:52 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Too much talking about the supporters of the candidates and not enough positives about your own.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The comment is snarky and not something I would say, but I don't think it rises to the level of erasing it.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alert is the only dumb thing I see..
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Really? An alert was necessary on this? The post was referred to as dumb. It did not attack any individual. Move along.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Silly pro Hillary alert stalking. Bye.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(10,164 posts)I don't care about hides any more...unless I get two in close succession. Then an automatic "flagged for review" kicks in, and the promised "24 hours" tends to turn into several days.
And it likely won't matter at all after the primary. That's when a completely different system kicks in...and given Skinner's tone in response to several questions in AtA, the purges will begin. I doubt I'll last long!

(3,373 posts)is it that Latinos in some states qualify as people of color but in other states they've been blanched?
Thanks for that astute racial analysis!

And of course, there is Guam.
So, you can add Asians to the list of PoC who support Hillary

Vinca
(54,321 posts)and barely had any coverage at all. If you don't know about someone, you probably won't vote for them. Hillary has been in the public eye for decades and has been called the most famous woman in the world. All things considered, Bernie has done very well. It's still a mystery to me why POC dismissed him so readily when much of their misery stems from Clinton administration policies that were supported by Hillary as First Lady.

(1,048 posts)But yes the thought that the nomination would be snatched from a Democratic nominee who was the one who garnered the votes of a more diverse coalition is astounding. The talk of it is already making lots of Black folks I talk to say it reinforces why they chose Secretary Clinton. Ones who said that they liked Bernie but voted for Hillary now don't even really like Sanders.

(2,262 posts)You cannot be a Sanders supporter with statements like you're making. I call bullshit. Are you a Trump or Brock employee?

(8,175 posts)That is an outright lie.
He is not going to take anyone's vote away. IF he contests the election, it's because the pledged delegate count is so close, it could go either way,depending on super delegates.
That is not disenfranchising anyone. If you had enough votes to give Hill the nom before the convention, then you would be in like Flynn. But you won't.
And that is because Bernie has inspired so many younger people to engage in this political process, to fight for their futures, that they may actually get a voice against all the older people who are just too rigid to accept necessary change.
Even though he has been fighting a rigged system dealing with Hillary's and Bill's name recognition, and establishment clout with super delegates and the media...he has done so amazingly well, that if he goes to a contested convention and wins, it will be because he deserved to win...because he won against all odds, because enough people were enthused enough to fight for him...not because he shut down anyone's votes.

azurnoir
(45,850 posts)are we being told that disenfranchising white voters (who we're told whites are for Bernie) is somehow okay? Not to mention if states such as Hawaii are any indicator then the Asian community also seems to support Bernie, as does the Native American community, have they been de-colorized?
I find such racial divisiveness disturbing and ultimately self defeating for the Democratic Party
