AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

On Tue Nov 10, 2015, 09:29 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Bernie folks are much like a group of people on the right. Meaning their actions and mechanics and
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=789176

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

The thing of going on social media to attack people and to try and build a false narrative is something people on the right do.

This probably won't get locked but it should be.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Nov 10, 2015, 09:40 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is criticism of a supposed political movement. Not too much different than other criticisms (of other groups) we see here on DU all the time. Grow a thicker skin is my only suggestion.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The purpose of the jury is not to stifle thought that you may not agree with. You are using the jury system improperly.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I hope the alerter is right when he/she says "This probably won't get locked", because I vote to Leave it.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Painting w/a really broad brush ..... I don't like it when Hillary people do this about Bernie
and his supporters nor do I care for it from Bernie people either. This post is low rent crap
w/the goal of stirring up anger.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Broad brush smear. Unacceptable.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
