ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Using a right-wing source.

This person has been bashing everyone who doesn't support Clinton as "left-leaning independent" and puts down anyone that isn't for Clinton. I would suggest that the jury review all of VanillaRhaspody's posts and see that the person attacks all the time, and always edging against the DU rules.

Please surprise me, jury, by hiding this post as nonsense and unnecessary at this point. No-one has announced on the Democratic side, and none are expected until at least next month.

Please.

For once?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Dec 23, 2014, 11:19 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: WHAAAAAAAAAA! One of the worst alerts ever. Hey, surprise me alerter : show up in the thread and admit that you cannot argue AGAINST this and would like to have it hidden because you would rather just not have to admit some people LIKE HRC! FFS!
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This post is not in violation of TOS. Poster's history of HRC fanatacism, to the extent it's even relevant, is also not outside the bounds for this forum. There are ardent HRC supporters at DU and in the Democratic party, just as there are detractors. Alerter can and should make his/her case in-thread rather than reaching for the alert button.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If the post was made by someone who always bashes everyone who doesn't support Clinton, why not just state as much in a response?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There is a chance the right wants to see EW not in the race more than they want to see Clinton lose the nomination. That is out there. We need to discuss it.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nope. Make your points in the thread instead of alerting on it. Simple, no?

Yes. I did. So? Tierra_y_Libertad Dec 2014 #29

sooo? VanillaRhapsody Dec 2014 #31

So, I disagree with the post and its implications that Hillary is the inevitable candidate. Tierra_y_Libertad Dec 2014 #35

and you are in a small minority who feels that way VanillaRhapsody Dec 2014 #48

See you after Christmas! Lol. morningfog Dec 2014 #106

Posts like this make me want Elizabeth Warren to run more than ever. Kalidurga Dec 2014 #73

If Liz runs, it will be to win. And she will win if she runs. This pulling Hillary to the left is Autumn Dec 2014 #76
