(6,409 posts)My first ban was from the Sanders group because I got all excited about the "socialist" thing, but that was my fault, and I straightened it out with the hosts. Then I got banned from the Obama group, not because I said anything about Obama, but because I suggested some of his best supporters could sometimes criticize specific things he does. Then I got banned from the Clinton group because I made a joke about their attempt at rationalizing all the donations from financial interests. As I understand the groups, all it takes is one of the hosts to misunderstand something you say, and you're gone.
Anyway, I agree with you abut Sanders. I am just amazed we have a presidential contender who is so right on so many issues important to me. I have been a democratic socialist for 35 years, and I never thought we would see a democratic socialist and a real progressive making a serious run at the presidency.
