Kirsten Gillibrand cites Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren as leaders of The Democratic Party.

89. I think that makes one thing pretty clear

A large amount of DUers disagree with the admins in terms of whether Sanders should be afforded the same protections here as we would afford elected Democrats.

It's the admins' website and they can take whatever actions they want to take, but when rank and file DUers adjudicate jury results, they are making their preference on that score pretty clear.

I'm no fan of Bernies's but I've also never been a fan of the jury system and this is no exception. The jury system means that many of the admins rules can be nullified and thus are unenforceable, or worse, erratically and/or unfairly enforced. This would not be an issue under the old
Mod system. The mods would get their marching orders from the admins and would have removed posts like these that conflicted with the admins rules, regardless of whether or not a majority of DUers liked the post.

I expected this posters post to be hidden even though I agreed with the sentiment.
