ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Fringe left garbage and anti Dem and Clinton. Hide it.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Why was this alerted on?
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: West is a self-aggrandizing asshole, but this post does not violate the rules
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Expressing an opinion.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Like it or not West on the Democratic Party platform committee
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Nope.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nope. This is a QUOTE from a well-known American scholar, writer and critic. It's neither worthy of censorship or a Hide. Try to live up to the "democratic" part of the Democratic Underground. Challenge the ideas. Don't censor.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I found the argument interesting. Agree or disagree, it's just an opinion, not flattering of HRC, but not worthy of censoring.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
