jury duty since April 11. Not sure why. One hide on April 19. Supposedly my chances are at 80%. Used to be on a jury several times a week. I even tried to be fair.

the more Sanders supporter that get banned the more juries are weighted to favor Clinton and so more of us will be banned.

If they really believed they had the nomination sewed up, why are these tactics necessary? It's a trick question. It's all about being able to bully us. The best way to handle it is to ignore them.

imaginable. DU is losing members over this horseshit and the folks I joined DU to interact with are rarely here anymore....
Doesn't it seem that SOMEWHERE in the rulebook this matter of BS alerts would be addressed? If it's there I cannot find it.
We are domed and DU is likely domed too.

Now, I haven't had jury duty for a month or more. Really? What are the chances?

BTW - I just got called out by a "Bernie supporter" for daring to say that someone should learn the facts about the email scandal!

A "BERNIE" supporter!

Be careful out there. There are land mines everywhere.

Edit to add: The so-called Bernie supporter who called me out doesn't have one post here in the Bernie group. Isn't that interesting? Wolves in sheep's clothing. Again, be careful.

Most within less than a week, before that I had a perfect record for years, something is fishy.

Only the first hide nearly three months ago was offensive perhaps to some, but it was quite true, the only reason I was even posting it was because I was angry at a racist, and racist comments being whitewashed. (I am multiracial, and sometimes after years of being attacked over race from nearly all races, it is a hot button issue for me).

Targeting certain people, alert swarms, alert stalking, trying to get the first response post in Sanders OP's, controlling MIRT and the Host Forum. And lately they have "recruited" a ton of new members for Clinton. I am not calling them puppets but others are.

If they have the nomination wrapped up, why the harassment? Rhetorical question, answer - because they can.

how do I change this?

Newsflash, found the setting under "My Account". Funny thing is that I never changed it, and served on many juries before. Could it be that I opted out too many times?

Mon May 2, 2016, 05:38 PM
May 2016

Democrat (had been that way for 37 years and I vote every election) to "unaffiliated" sometime around march, without my consent, knowledge, or even a polite notification of the change in my party status that left me unable to vote in my NYS primary, since the first time ever (excluding 2002 when I was in the hospital and didn't think to get an absentee ballot they are very hard to get in my State, lots of red tape).

I only found out about it when warnings were floating around the site to check one's voting status, I completely expected everything to be the same, I haven't even moved in 25 years and never had a problem before. Somehow tho, I am no longer a Democrat after a lifetime of being one.

They don't want me in the party or in the voting booth as far as I can tell by their kicking me out of the party, but the joke is on them, I can still vote in the GE, perhaps without the usual clothespin this time as I no longer should be expected to exude party loyalty after the party kicked me out.

Mon May 2, 2016, 06:12 PM

It's easy to do.

Members may be asked to serve regularly on a Jury, although they will not be asked more than once every 18 hours. A member who is chosen to serve on a Jury is presented with a notification on all DU pages requesting that they participate. They may choose one of three options:

"YES, I can serve now" (the member is immediately seated on a Jury)
"NO, I can't serve now" (the member is not seated on a Jury and cannot be selected again for a minimum of 18 hours)
"Don't ask me again" (the member is not seated on a Jury and their "Willingness to serve on a DU Jury" option is set to "Unwilling&quot

This is interesting: The swarm tends to alert more starting mid to late morning. And they are more successful in hiding posts by Bernie supporters starting around that time too. I guess they all sleep late?

But it was one Bernie supporter (it got left alone) and one on a Bot (it too got left alone).

It's amazing how they are so blatant in their wanting to rig the system...must be coming from some great leadership in their quarters. If you can't win fairly, rig it.

Just post over at the site with all the real informative posts and people who are nice to each other even when they disagree:
