In reply to the discussion: I'm astonished by Hillary supporters [View all]Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)Many of the BOG members that were friends of mine talked to me every single day on the DU forum for over 6½ years.
Now, they no longer even speak to me.
As soon as Hillary announced that was running again in the spring, they stopped talking to me at all.
I had no idea most of them were going to root for Hillary . . . for no possible logical reason, other than "she is a woman".
Most of those members of the BOG were women.
They used to post meaningful comments here almost every day.
They were thoughtful, intelligent, and generally speaking, kind in their responses to other members posting at DU, for the most par.
Then, all of a sudden, almost overnight, these same women turned in to the biggest liars posting here, lying their asses off about how bad Bernie is and/or what a sainted untainted virgin Hillary is.
They constantly use disparaging language about other DU members, act mean towards others on the board, pushing members around on the forum as if they are 300-pound gorillas, and engage in conversations using a despicable, condescending tone of voice when talking to other members of DU who are Bernie supporters.
They display spoiled rotten attitudes in their posts about Bernie and Hillary whenever they get involved in threads about those 2 major Democratic candidates.
It really opened my eyes.
The jury system at DU is a ginormous failure.
