Wow... Usually I know in advance if I'm gonna get hidden.

Not this time.

Apparently now it's not ok to point out the kinds of things Hillary supporters are saying about us? That we're racist, sexist, or purists? That we want to hand this country to Trump?

Or is it not ok to say we're fed up and tired of BS?

Nowhere in that post did I advocate for anyone to not vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination, or say that I would not. Apparently juries are now reading between the lines?

The most chilling thing about this alert to me, besides the reading between the lines, was the alerter's comments:

This poster has repeatedly flaunted the TOS of this site by insisting he will not support the Democratic nominee.

Did you miss the link to even a single post of mine claiming I will not support the Democratic nominee? Me too! So now it's ok to assert something about my history at DU with no link to back up that assertion, and use that assertion to hide a post which also does not actually make the specific claim that I will not support the Democratic nominee.

I alerted on the alert results for the first time ever because of this, but I expect that nothing will come of it due to the fact that I'm a Sanders supporter and that I have come close to the line in the past.

Thus far I do not believe I have crossed it, these alert results notwithstanding. But hey, way to go alerter.

1. You didn't even point out WHO says those things about you!

You pointed no fingers! holy shit

[jillan]

2. It's okay that we are called racist every single day? Sexist every other single day?

You point it out, and that's not okay?



It's unreal.

3. Hiding a thread or post...

is a surefire way to get me to read it

I think alerters should be identified in the alert.

8. The jury pool does not represent the balance of members candidate of choise.

Every poll shows that DU is about 90% Bernie supporters. If that is true then the jury pool is being manipulated and it can only be manipulated by the admins. Other wise the jury would have about a 90% chance of the selections being Bernie supporters. Yep this is not a democratic site and it is not balanced or based on the majority. It's based on whatever the admins want and that's the bottom line. Right now they are kept in check because they make money from the hits but I am sure they interfere and taint juries in cases where they want to shut up the more vocal opposing Bernie supporters. They won't ban all Bernie supporters because it's a matter of their income. Can you imagine forming a website to push the DLC agenda and having your site become 90% for the candidate you don't want? I won't be crying over that.

10. That's incorrect.

the jury pool is being manipulated and it can only be manipulated by the admins.

You could manipulate it yourself. Get a bunch of like-minded friends together. Synchronize clocks. Use some other means to coordinate, like twitter or IMs to let your friends know the exact time at which you'll be alerting. You alert, they hit refresh on a page on DU until they get the 'join a jury'? thing.

4. There's been some sort of marching orders sent out relating to the DKos thing

To shut down any discussions that in any way criticize the "inevitable" candidate.

I've been smelling fear for weeks now, but I thought they were all comfortable after the hail mary in NV and SC. Apparently something big is going on behind the scenes and they need to shut this primary down now, before it goes public.

5. Such a bullshit hide.

They are super obnoxious today.

6. Don't feel bad, I know a poster that lost jury eligibility, permanently revoked

Because the poster did not vote against me in a jury that was 1 in 6 in favor of leaving my post stand.
The crime? The poster who alerted me, who uses the name of a king _____ II, is friends with admin.
And the jury revoked poster agreed in the jury comment when I called a lie a lie and proved it in my rebuttal that was being adjudicated hence the 6 to 1 win in my favor.

Two posts down, the person lied again, this time claiming Sanders was not included in a graph (posted in graphic form no less) directly above his deceitful reply showing Sanders was not only in the graph, but the first one listed on it.

Remember that on this site all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

If you want to be more equal, lie in favor of Hillary.

9. Thanks for letting us know.

7. I read they did the same thing to L0oniX.

11. I had a post alerted on

When I posted in the Bernie Group that a Hillary supporter connected Bernie Sanders supporters to the Cultural Revolution in China and that that poster was red baiting. I was called a coward by the Hillary supporter who I am pretty sure alerted me, even though I posted a similar response it the original OP. The Hillary supporter was complaining how I didn't get the Hillary supporter who likened Bernie supporters to members of the Red Guard during the Chinese Cultural Revolution as chance to respond, even though again I responded to the original post, and secondly that Hillary was the one who started with the outrageous insult toward Bernie supporters with that Cultural Revolution nonsense.

Although my post didn't get hidden, I only found out about the alert since a poster was kind enough to post my jury results. The Hillary supporters are always complaining about the so called Bernie Bros when they are just as bad if not worst. They personally insult people all the time.

12. This place and Kos are going to be awfully boring when we leave.

Seriously, we should walk out en masse if Clinton gets the nomination.

I'm tired of "Democrats" relying on my vote when my liberal choices get "Deaned" or ignored or marginalized (and I'm tired of them turning to the dark side, like Dean, when that happens).

Enough is enough.

If they want to call me the liberal equivalent of the Tea Party, then so be it. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. DINO politics, like the Republican politics they are, however, will hurt us all, and it's been proven.

13. I suppose there's no way to petition to change the TOS

and remove the whole loyalty oath garbage?

14. This is ridiculous...

if I want to read banned posts I guess the best place is the "Greatest" page...
