...and looking back after the 2016 primaries (which I spent hiding out in the Hillary Group) it was pretty obvious to a lot of us survivors that we got trolled. Why obvious? Because when the Admins finally up and decided to tighten the rules here to take effect when the Nominee was clear, a lot of Bernie people refused to sign the new TOS and took their marbles off to JPR, where they remain. In other words, they were not here to elect Democrats and to improve the Party, but to disrupt.

So sure, Bernie had fans here. But they were not "driven away" -- the ones who refused to play by the rules opted out of DU or were asked to leave.

It's pretty damn nasty to say that those of us who remember the history somewhat differently than you do are acting like Republicans.

Yes, you are remembering correctly - it was 461 to 44. KTM Jan 2018 #16

Yup, President Sanders was the most popular, right after President Kucinich, and President Edwards! FSogol Jan 2018 #21

No one was driven away. Dr Hobbitstein Jan 2018 #22

A shit ton of people were banned. KTM Jan 2018 #24

Those who were banned were banned with good reason. Dr Hobbitstein Jan 2018 #27

+1. Disrupters on both sides were banned. No one was banned for simply supporting Bernie. FSogol Jan 2018 #31

Yes, you are correct, and it was in GD not a group. MelissaB Jan 2018 #28

Is there a point to this thread other than to stir the pot? This is a time when Democrats need to MelissaB Jan 2018 #32

One does wonder, doesn't one, on the very night of DT's SOTU Hekate Jan 2018 #35

I really don't mean to piss anybody off, but these Bernie/Hillary threads need to be put on hold. MelissaB Jan 2018 #36

Indeed, which is why there is a rule against refighting the primaries... Hekate Jan 2018 #38
