Ever hear that saying "I've got one nerve left, and you're on it"?

98. The admin has been heavy-handed with the bias

Several popular/prominent Bernie supporters were banned from the site for behavior that Hillary supporters get away with all the time. One (I don't remember which) just pointed out that there existed a site where people were pledging "Bernie or Bust"... didn't even advocate for it, and still got banned.

Edit: here's an example from today... member since 2008, but doesn't post often and doesn't understand protected groups. The poor guy posts in Bernie group with a complaint about being banned from Hillary group, looking to commiserate and discuss a valid point (age bias in thinking "kids these days have it easy&quot . People explain about groups but also empathize (given the ban trigger finger of Hillary group hosts), some other people also express confusion about their bans for benign things. Poster gets Banned from the entire site as a "Troll", and post in Hillary group GLOATING about it is on the front page. With attempts to shame people too. And nobody can reply because it's Hillary group, and if you go and try to express yourself in Bernie group about it you'll probably get banned as a troll (I'm legitimately afraid about even making this post... fear is not an emotion I should be feeling when engaging in legitimate discussion is a protected group on this site). For the record, I am proud to be on that rec list -- not ashamed at all. And all the gloating on that thread (and the fake outrage, boy do I hate the fake outrage and the "support", trying to make themselves out as the victims in the situation just for having their behavior criticized) and the "troll" ban for the poor shy poster is exhibit A for why I can't consider myself a "supporter" of this site any longer.

Edit2: And yet, ugly disgusting smears like this are allowed to stay http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=60651

Edit3: Just went and read where gmoles had accidentally posted in Hillary group. And all I have to say is wow. There's 1 or 2 polite responses about protected groups, but the rest just basically ridicule him. Some pretty ugly and condescending stuff, like implying that he hasn't found a job because he's on his phone during interviews and BS like that (he'd said nothing to give that impression). I guess that's mild compared to the ugliness that often is in that group (like Edit2), but the fact that they then go and play victim when somebody goes to their own safe group to discuss it, and claim that the people actually discussing in the Bernie group should be ashamed... I don't even have words...
