Bernie Sanders

was to get blocked from the Hillary group for the following post:
"Because Southern Democratic Votes
are really what counts in the general election. Oh, wait, if each and every Southern Democrat stayed home in December, it would matter not at all to the Democratic Presidential candidate. I guess it makes sense to have people whose vote won't count choose the candidate that people whose vote WILL count, like those of us in Blue States, will be stuck with. Good strategy...."
Some people just can't let reality intrude into their active fantasy lives........

(812 posts)But I'm guessing that's not why they blocked you.
Instead they likely accused you of throwing an entire region under the bus (their favorite meme lately). That "true Dems" like the system just how it is.
Of course they don't care -how- they win. Won't consider what it will mean on July 29, the day after the convention.
Funny that "party before country" used to be considered a bad thing, not long ago.
Yea, November. Not enough caffeine, obviously! Of course they blocked me for not rolling over and playing dead. We don't only need a political revolution in our government, we need one in our party. The election process is designed to select the party's favored candidate, not the people's. Why is the California primary, representing the largest Blue state, so late that the Ref States largely choose our candidate? Why do we tolerate caucuses that keep working people from participating? Why do we have superdelegates? It doesn't seem like winning elections is there DNC's highest priority.

(83 posts)You didn't say anything nasty about Hillary or Hillary's supporters...or about anything...I guess online forums are echo chambers with a heavy dose of censorship these days? Or some of them are...So, anyway, this is my first post on my just created DU account...and you can tell from my account name maybe what I'm here to ask for everyone's help in making go viral?
Anyway sorry that you got banned (or congratulations based on your attitude) there really does seem to be a sense of entitlement and privilege to Coronate the next Clinton in the Dynasty at least in some circles...and "she's a woman" so if her policies are terrible for women and men and children here and in the developed world, who cares right? very sad..

They're touchy, especially when someone asks them to list the specific Clinton policies that they support or to explain why her positions have shifted so frequently and her explanations prove to be lacking in factual basis. As a woman I would love to see a woman president, but not this one!

I am convinced they will ban most of DU, then the World...and finish off with a Ban Match to the Death amongst each other, to see who the last one standing will be. Too bad there will be no one left to know who that is.
Don't even worry about it.
Oh, I'm proud to be part of the group! And, I stand by my comment (not the December part )
We have a broken process that allows the DNC and the most conservative Democratic voters to control the agenda for the rest of us. Even if Bernie is not the nominee, we need to keep the pressure on to change this!
