In reply to the discussion: A couple of years ago there was a DU poll [View all]KTM
(1,823 posts)34. I see plenty of names in that thread
that I am happy I dont see anymore, but let's not pretend they were all fairly executed.
People on both sides of the divide were banned and the Jury System was massively abused. People were banned as a result. MANY people were banned for complete shit reasons, on both sides, and we all know it.
You want me to believe that thay all self-exiled ? Nope. You want me to believe they were ALL assholes ? Nope. You want to believe a false narrative that DU did not once include a TON of Sanders supporters? Not going to do that either.

+1. Disrupters on both sides were banned. No one was banned for simply supporting Bernie.

Is there a point to this thread other than to stir the pot? This is a time when Democrats need to
