(15,793 posts)Here I go violating what I said about not posting on the Sanders group. Very early on DU it was relayed to me you never know to whom you are speaking. Identity means nothing you choose to reveal what you want. Some very generalized statements about the Sanders group has recently surfaced; arrogant, intrusive even white supremist.As you know Sanders group that is not true.
A friend recently lost it and got kicked off DU over BLM. We used to banter back and forth in emails but had far more in common than we disagreed. I can just about hear her say I told you. The Sanders group has a real opportunity. The one incident of turf protection has left me furious it should not after all this is an anonymous message board..
What I have taken away is that others are seeing the same thing. Young people are jumping on the Sanders bandwagon and it has started very recently. It almost makes me feel like I am eighteen again but I am not. Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, Jerry Litton, Paul Wellstone are gone. Bernie Sanders is still here and has been saying the same thing for decades and those kids are listening. Does anyone realize what a rare opportunity? Sanders is filling a need I hope he is up to it.
Sanders group try not to alienate potential customers it does not matter who you are especially on an anonymous message board. I am still angry all out of proportion to the challenge. It is best I stay away from the primary boards. Thank you Sabrina.
