CLICK BAIT !!1!1 I have decided to switch my support to Hillary

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

I know, I just KNOW that Manny's post "I have decided to switch my support to Hillary" is just click bait! I know, I just KNOW, that he hasn't and he's just posted some ironic / sarcastic and depriciating comments about Hillary and-or Hilllary suporters. I know it!

I refuse to click!

Referring to that flailing OP as "satire" is like calling Sarah Palin a "political strategist."

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is a call out of another DUer by name, it's hostile, petty and totally unnecessary. What are we 6 years old?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Oct 29, 2015, 01:18 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Does not rise to the level of a personal attack
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is not the kind of back-and-forth petty fight that is helpful to the whole of the community. I do believe it violates standards.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: OMFG......
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: straight up call out
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Late night for the Manny crew, eh? That's when the alerts come, right? Leave.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

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

Yes, apparently we are 6 years old if that kind of 'Look at me' post passes as satire or meaningful discourse.

When a poster questioned if members of the LGBQT and AA community were suffering from Stockholm for supporting a progressive?

That is funny. I simply said: "Welcome aboard. Please continue to act as if you support Sanders."

It was pure click-bait. Very similar to Sanders campaign. Red meat for the crew. Both of them really know how to fire up their supporters/fans.
