Presidential Third-Party Candidates are Spoilers.

15. Someone alerted on your post. Jury got it right:

On Tue Sep 16, 2014, 08:16 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Bernie does not have the temperament to handle the presidency.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Saying Bernie is trying to be a Christie clone is ludicrous and unacceptable.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Sep 16, 2014, 08:26 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I think the poster meant it in the "see, I can work with the other side" way. I do not find this to be TOS. With utter respect to Bernie, he is not currently a member of the Democratic Party, and thus while the alerter may be offended on his behalf, not supporting "Third Party Candidates" is acceptable on this board. Also, the post alerted on did have some legitimate analysis dealing with personality and electability; attempting to hide this seems odd.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Is the alerter serious? Unacceptable because you say so? HAHA. Look, I am a big Bernie fan and will support him if he runs. But just like people are free to criticize Saint Hillary, so should they be allowed to criticize Saint Bernie.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh please. What a ridiculous alert. It's CRITICISM. Deal with it.
Good gawd.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I agree that the poster's comments, especially the Christie comparison, are beyond stupid, but I think they do not violate the TOS. Why not engage the poster in a dialog and point out how wrong the poster is? That would be better than hiding the remarks, IMO.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Disagreement with a post does not mean its hide-worthy. I'm a fan of Sanders and think the poster is full of it, but that doesn't make it hide-worthy.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The ignorance in this post needs to be refuted not hidden.
