I agree. I get called at least 3 or 4 times a day for jury duty and every single case involves Sanders. This is DU. BS isn’t a Democrat. This whole thing is a fucking fiasco and beyond my wildest nightmares. Losing isn’t an option.

I never refuse jury duty. I always vote on whether someone followed the rules or not, but I always give the benefit of the doubt to the poster. I also believe in freedom of speech, unless someone has posted something illegal, immoral, unethical, disgusting, or insulting.

With Sanders posts it is often a "Don't bash Dems" rule complaint. The text of that rule is much more nuanced than the name of the rule (even after fully granting that Sanders is a Dem for purposes of fulfilling the jury duty).

*I'm troubled that Bernie is not a Democrat
*I WANT to hear/read/see different inputs, reactions, responses to issues
*I do NOT want our site to be driven by bots or outside influences
*I do not turn down jury duty, but I do tend to lean towards freedom of thought and input.

While I'm enjoying the proposals of our great candidates, I'm gonna' vote BLUE, no matter WHO!

Under the rules, he is to be treated like a Democrat. But as with everyone I don’t vote to remove unless it is egregious.
