My post was hidden, but I stand by my position and have no regrets.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

The alerters point to my transparency page. Yes, I've been "hidden", suspended and will likely be banned in the future.

But I'm speaking MY truth and have no regrets.

I am very disappointed that DU allows for the silencing of people of color, women and other protected groups---even in protected spaces.

I will continue to speak up. Hides or no hides.

I will continue to speak out against injustice, whether that injustice emanates from the Hillary Clinton camp or the Bernie Sanders camp.

I still believe that Bernie Sanders--once an honorable man--is flat-out LYING to his supporters, making them believe that he has a viable path to the Democratic Party nomination when he knows that he doesn't.

And whenever I can, I will speak out on this subject until things change.

1. This mess will be over soon

Hopefully there will still be enough people willing/able to post here once the new policies are put in place

[Her Sister]

2. We are with you! Know that!

Even if you're banned! Know that!

Because we see! We see them! We see you!

Don't doubt that! Thanks for being part of the HRC group!

[liberal N proud]

3. Keep up the good fight

4. Hey Aloha, Liberal_Stalwart..

I don't think he was ever "an honorable man".. not from the history I've seen.. but opinions will vary on that.

He disgusts me, too.. all those attempts to dismiss the Black Voters in the South as conservative states while reveling in his red state caucus wins?! What's up with that?

It came back to bite him, though.. he lost.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

10. Thank you, lovely! I love you and the work you do. Mahalo, sweetheart!

[Cha]

14. Awww.. Love you, too!

It's really awesome how so many peeps are saying "Mahalo" now for a different way to say Thank You!

[Surya Gayatri]

5. We've got your back, LS. Unfortunately, due to bogus hides, my transparency page is visible as well,

so I can no longer serve on juries in hopes of evening the pro-Sanders odds a bit.

[JustAnotherGen]

6. I didn't see the hide

GDP Perhaps?

You have a right to an opinion whether they like it or not.

At some point you just have to say It Is What It Is, Good, Bad, Indifferent.


I support you!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

7. Hi JAG! Miss you. My OP was posted in this group---a *protected* group.

I've trashed every forum except for the BOG, AA, and this group. Everything else is TRASH! LOL!

Thank you as always for your love and support.

[JustAnotherGen]

9. Your welcome

See below!

[JustAnotherGen]

8. Found it

If you want to be honest and state you hate Sanders - I don't see what the issue is?

It's just an opinion - folks need to stop getting angry that others hold opinions of people that differ from theirs. What is this? The 8th grade? We all have to like Suzy because she is the Queen Bee?

Nonsense.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

12. I don't have a problem with them disagreeing with me. I have two problems: (1) misusing the alert

and jury system and (2) the administrators ***allowing*** it. I think #2 bothers me more than #1.

[JustAnotherGen]

13. Ahh

I know YOU don't - but they have a serious problem with you disagreeing with them.

And I agree - they misused the alert system. It was an opinion and they got lucky with that jury.


It did not break TOS. You should alert on the hide so that Skinner can 'log this' when they shift to the new moderating/jury system whatever he and his business partners have planned.

[DemonGoddess]

11. K&R!

The alerters can point to your transparency page all they want. It shows bogus hides, so it's not something they should be proud of. You keep speaking truth!

[Thinkingabout]

15. No, and your thoughts are held by many others, and no we will not be silenced and

We the people have spoken by over three million votes over Sanders. Reminding us every day of reasons why we are supporting the best candidate and she is the most qualified candidate. Thanks for your support.

[Walk away]

16. If Sanders and his Troops make it to the Convention....

they will probably end up being a national embarrassment. They really are just immature bullies. They made Trump look great with their stupid behavior in and outside of Trump rallies. Now they are acting like idiots all over the country.
The climax in Philly should seal the deal for them. Nationally televised violent behavior! No one with a brain will want to admit being a part of that Goon Show. Hopefully, they will bury the Sanders' revolution.

The problem with revolutions is you don't always get the desired outcome.

Eugene McCarthy did not become President. Richard Nixon did.

[Loki]

17. Got your back Liberal_Stalwart71

We are going to ride this one until the end, and we will be stronger for it.

[wildeyed]

18. Speak your truth!

:hugs: You are entitled to your opinion, even when it makes them nervous.

But try not to get two hides in 24 hours, 'k

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

23. You know me. I try not to. BTW, loving your avatar. I'm still depressed over Prince's passing. :(

[wildeyed]

24. Me too.

Not getting over it anytime soon, either

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

26. Oddly I've been able to listen to most of his music, but not the sentimental or love songs.

[wildeyed]

32. It's been 7 hours and 33 days

since he took his love away

His silly pop songs are the ones that kill me now. Raspberry Beret, stuff like that. Go figure. I was at the gym just a day or two after he died. Walked past the spin room and the instructor was blasting one of those. I almost fell down. Too soon, spin lady, too soon....

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

34. WOW! Yes, it has. I can't listen to that song. Can't listen to The Ladder. Can't listen to Another

Lonely Christmas, or How Come U Don't Call Me, Adore...none of those.

Too soon. Don't think I'll get ever over this loss.

[TwilightZone]

36. Pop Life

Seemingly one of those "silly pop songs", but incredibly perceptive and so much said with so little.

[artyteacher]

20. so this site will go from...

Right wing repeating to right wing debunking like I heard it was supposed to be about?

[ismnotwasm]

21. K&R

Dumbest hide ever.

[Starry Messenger]

22. Wow, sad some folks have so much free time on their hands.

Too bad they didn't use it phone-banking, their candidate might not be losing.

[TwilightZone]

25. Ya know...they're not worth it.

Some of them aren't Democrats. Some of them aren't even liberals. The ones who are legit Sanders supporters are slowly realizing that it's nearly the end of the road, and some of them are devolving into an angry mob.

You can't tell a mob much of anything, even the obvious. At this point, I don't think they're worth the effort (not that we don't try) and not worth getting banned over. We've been told that things will change when we have a nominee, which looks like June 7th.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

28. Good points made all around. My only concern is how the Sandernistas will hurt Democrats in the GE.

It's not that I spend too much time caring about what they did; my greater concern is about how Sanders and his supporters' behavior will hurt Democrats in the long run by giving ammunition to the ReThugs.

[TwilightZone]

29. Hard to tell

2008 was pretty antagonistic, but it really didn't bleed over into the GE as much as I thought it would. Hillary bowed out graciously, endorsed Obama, and most of the primary season faded away.

If Sanders does what I still expect him to (somewhat naively, perhaps), once he endorses Clinton and once the rest of the Democrats who are waiting for us to have an official nominee to voice their support of Hillary (President Obama, for example) chime in, I think the primary season will slowly fade away and the drive to the GE will take over.

As for ammunition for Trump, the GOP has tried their best for 25 years. Whatever Sanders gives them really can't be much worse than what they already have planned. Maybe I should be more worried about that aspect of the primaries, but I think she can handle whatever gets thrown at her.

In the end, I think most reasonable people on the left, most Sanders supporters included, will mull over the possibility of President Donald Trump and act accordingly. If not, screw 'em. lol

30. Hey, LS.

I have your back, I always will. Love your voice and your stand against injustice.

[rbrnmw]

31. I have your back too

[Tarheel_Dem]

33. Righteous Rant!!!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

35. Love you guys! Thank you so much!!!!!

[baldguy]

37. You can't tell the difference between Trump supporters and Sanders supporters any longer.

38. Bogus hide, LS.

We support you and look forward to the day that differing opinions can be discussed without bullies swarming to silence our voices.

Stay strong...we need you!
