No matter how they crow about it, yesterday scared the crap out of them. He should have won. He tied in the only way that counts--delegates.

They know what's coming up and no matter how dissonant their beliefs are from facts, the facts are sitting right there, staring at them.

I saw that hide! They can hide here but not everywhere else! TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!!! We know very well what's going on. Obvious touchy hides like that don't really work! They make it more obvious!

It'll be nice when this thing is finally over and the phony Democrats leave the site for another eight years.

If we're lucky, money to pay the online marketers is the first expense to be cut by the Sanders campaign as the donations start drying up.

They find the slighted thing they know their Bros will react to and they alert. In your case I think it was the word "lie". Even though you read some of the disgusting sewer water they post about Hillary and they think it's just fine. You can tell they are continuing to scrutinize our posts just by the number of views vs replies. Way high view numbers, much lower replies.

Hang in there liberal N proud, in the end we'll be the ones cheering.

Just watched BS repeat the lie that Hillary called him unqualified on CBS Face the Nation

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling all Supporters of Sanders, a Democratic candidate, BSers. Cute, but didn't someone get banned for trying to be cute with words?

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sun Apr 10, 2016, 01:02 PM, and voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I am a Sanders supporter and annoyed as well regarding name calling, etc. teeters on the line, not strong enough for a hide.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: That's not vulgar or offensive in nature. Others on both sides have over the top, destructive offensive name naming that are worthy of hides.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: BSERs did it for me. Hiding.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

The alert was over the word call off your attack dogs. I wish I just made this up. It was thankfully not hidden.

To come into a private group and alert on what they are saying is a very controlling act.

it just isn't here. It's on Facebook or any other social media outlet. Some very nice people in real life have felt emboldened to say some very rude things to me on Facebook on the very few things I've posted which are largely benign.

Here's my suggestion:

1. Reword it a bit
2. Cite your source, and if you don't have a link at least make sure you say where you heard it and quote as exactly as you are able
3. Play the pre-emptive note to the Jury game pointing out that you are reporting an observation and a fact
4. Repost

Seriously.

On Edit: I see you already dis this. Good job. I love links to primary sources.

JURY: Once again we have alert-stalkers coming into a protected Group to shut down discussions they don't like. BS is no more pejorative a term under the circumstances than is HRC or PBO. Everyone posting online used initials and abbreviations.

As soon as I could I reposted http://www.democraticunderground.com/110797366

When I first posted it, it was shortly after it aired, later a source was available. Someone had additional to the thread before the hide.

Some socialists are wonderfully tolerant and accepting of many diverse points of view.

Other socialists are authoritarian and intolerant of any view that differs from their own.

Sometimes people who call themselves "democratic socialists" are not what they say they are.

Democracy has many characteristics, including tolerance and open-mindedness, that we are rightly fond of.
