178. The extreme vitriol

Mon Feb 24, 2020, 12:31 PM

Feb 2020

leveled at those of us who supported Bernie--and who were opposed to Hillary--was virulent and disgusting. Then, we were told that we had to support Hillary if we wanted to participate in DU. I left. For years.

Recently, while enjoying SCE's iconic lolzcats, I made the mistake of commenting on some anti-Bernie posts. After I had posted three times, I started getting messages that my comments were removed, and that I have been banned from the Bernie2020 group, and that one more time will get me suspended.

I only come back for SCE and toons. The rest has become the sort of patriotism Johnson decried more than two hundred years ago. When it's all said and done, party affiliation will be moot. Actually, shouldn't party affiliation be the LAST metric with which we measure our candidates?
