1. If I were Skinner, I would be annoyed with this kind of shit.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. more annoyed than people in the Bernie Sanders group stating that he should run third party

on a website that has always been pro-democrat anti-third party?

i doubt it.

[Lizzie Poppet]

22. I don't care for that talk, either.

I don't post in the Bernie group (or the Hillary group, although I'm sure I'd be banned in the latter in seconds), so I haven't seen as much of that third party nonsense...but what I have seen annoys me. Bernie has made it clear that he has no interest in such a thing, and people should take him at his (demonstrably reliable) word.

2. Absolutely!

[Trust Buster]

3. I say, next Tuesday, April 29 will probably denote the proper time.

[LexVegas]

4. This. nt

5. How right of you

[B2G]

6. How about you quit telling him how to run his site?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. Lol. not very democratic of you but probably convenient position for you to take. nt

[B2G]

13. Oh, you want a democracy here?

Start a poll and ask the question of us all.

Majority rules, right?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. the majority in the democratic party have already spoken and criticism/suggestions for Skinner

have never been off-limits.

you guys may rule DU(and the internet space overall), but unfortunately for you, you don't rule the democratic party.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. i dont think it's time to end Pro-Bernie posts, but it is def time to end OTT anti-Hillary OP's

and posts that suggest that Bernie should run third party. there are differences within these things and these differences should be honored

[farleftlib]

9. What are y'all so afraid of?

This mass hysteria seems so uncalled for.

[One of the 99]

10. Sounds like

you're trying to squash free speech.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

25. He has no power to squash free speech.

Only the government can do that. You have the freedom to say whatever the fuck you want, but NO ONE has to give you a platform to say it from.

With that said, this is Skinner's house. If he says you can't say something, he's not squashing free speech, he's laying down the rules in his house.

[merrily]

12. You know about the ATA forum, right?

[DCBob]

14. This issue may just take care of itself.

Many of the hard core Bernsters have already fled GDP. I suspect many will follow as the pro-Hillary posts begin to dominate.

They cant handle the truth!

[tk2kewl]

15. Pretty sure they also like to earn $$ off the site...

Banning talk of Hillary's shortcomings will put a serious dent in traffic

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. that's a really cynical position to take. i think this site does suffer from benign neglect, but not

because the admins are corrupt.

[Lizzie Poppet]

18. Fuck that...fuck it hard.

Princess Weathervane's not the official nominee yet, nor has Bernie dropped out.

[MineralMan]

24. The imagery you present is far from pretty.

In fact, it's sort of violent.

[Bluenorthwest]

19. Ordering the admins around? Stay classy, RandySF.....

nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. oh, cos you've never made a criticism or a suggestion to the admins. no, not you. not ever.

[NurseJackie]

20. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

21. I understand your sentiment, and Skinner is going to do his thing at one point or another, but...

Don't forget he's also a businessman, and you're asking him to put 85% of his clicks at risk, at least on this site. It probably gives him pause.
