Dear Bernie Sanders Group...

[luvspeas]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by petronius (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

By allowing members to post so much inflammatory, derogatory, RACIAL snipes regarding members of this board, then blocking them from posting in your little club. you are shooting yourselves in the proverbial foots. You will understand soon.

1. It is fascinating watching Hillary supporters who must, on some level, recognize that they are

supporting someone with a long history DLC Third-Way politics and policies, try to desperately pretend they are supporting the real liberal.

Doubly so when DU Polls show that relatively few DUers are buying it.

17. You mean like the 88% of black voters who support Hillary?

[el_bryanto]

23. I mean like people who post at DU.

I doubt that 88% of black voters post at DU.

2. Where is your evidence?

We sit and quake in fear!
You need to put up or shut up!

[bobbobbins01]

3. Citations please...

Also, I believe its the sites rules that you can't post negative comments in each candidates forum, Bernie Sanders supporters aren't the ones blocking people.

14. I'll give examples

"Race naggers," which has already made it to Twitter. DU is now famous for it.
One person makes a point of going around comparing African American members to Lee Atwater and insist they--black people--are playing the Southern Strategy. That person made the same comment about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Calling BLM a Koch-funded, third-way, corporate plot.

Referring to BLM protesters as "thugs."

Those are just a few.

4. What racist posts are being made in the Bernie forum that aren't getting hidden? nt

5. Stay out of the group. It really is that simple.

If GD and GD aren't enough reading for you during your down time, find another go to discussion board or news site. What looks bad is your op. You seem to be the neighbor that keeps looking over the fence into my window. It is actually easier for you and takes no action on your part to not read a group that offends you. This helps no candidate. It serves no purpose in political discussion. It's purely personal on your part. Might be personal on their side as well, but how would you know unless you took purposeful action to see.

Your post here also fully supports the need they felt to block you from their group.

6. This is disruptive meta.

[Zorra]

7. It most definitely is. nt

[arcane1]

27. The whole topic has become disruptive strawman meta n/t

[Agschmid]

30. The topic is incredibly important...

And timely, check LBN and GD for threads on the autopsy just released today. But yes some of the discussion hasn't been great, but I think that's because passions run so high on this issue.

[arcane1]

38. Thanks, I meant to say the way the topic is handled here. It is VERY important in itself.

[demmiblue]

31. So why don't the hosts lock it?

Is there a higher threshold for this sort of thing in GDP?

[Agschmid]

33. No I think it's likely they will.

I'm one of them but since I posted here I don't really get a vote.

[Livluvgrow]

8. Cite your evidence

of RACIAL posts. Otherwise quit lecturing people on false claims.

[London Lover Man]

10. This comment got you banned from BSG..

I think the hosts did it correctly. Take it up with them.

Trolling the Bernie Sanders Group.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jul 23, 2015, 05:06 PM, and the Jury voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is a discussion board. Sometimes, comments say more about the people making the comments than they do about the target of the comments. Commenters need to remember that.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: If it had been in GD, I'd have left it. But not in the Sanders group
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It seems the poster has already been blocked from the group, I get that the post is somewhat mean spirited but I'm not sure it's worth a hide. Trolling a group is solved by alerting a host and having them block that member not a jury. -Agschmid
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

13. yup thats mine

Did you bother to read the op? Nothing but massive poutrage over how sad it is that black people won't bow down and thank their lucky stars for white libs. Post after post after post expressing this sentiment is pouring out of this group. I will never let that slide or allow a little private club to do that. I'm sick of it.

[arcane1]

29. Did you bother to read it? Because your description of it is 100% false.

[geek tragedy]

15. and there it is.

behavior like that will get a person banned from cooking and sports and religion and any other user group.

[Zorra]

12. We will understand soon? Is the Third Way going to smear someone else here today? nt

[William769]

18. + 1,000!

[BainsBane]

20. And it was hidden

It's okay to use the term, not just remind the person they did.

[Bobbie Jo]

24. That's messed up. nt

[zappaman]

37. Very. n/t

[BainsBane]

19. It must be awful

To be so oppressed by black folks talking about how to keep from being killed by police. All that nagging is such a drag.

[demmiblue]

21. Disruptive Meta n/t

[Zorra]

22. OP has been flagged for review. nt

[Agschmid]

25. Did you actually use the term in the hidden post?

And if so why?

What did you mean?

I could easily see how that could be hurtful to some portions of the DU community.

[Spazito]

34. Yes...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=467809

[Agschmid]

35. Wow.

[William769]

26. She is not the only one that just got flagged. nt

[HooptieWagon]

28. That'll teach us.

[Agschmid]

36. Well now that I've seen your post with that term I still want to know why...

[BainsBane]

39. I'd like to understand

why the original term is acceptable but then having it referenced is not?

[Warren DeMontague]

32. The "proverbial foots"?

[petronius]

40. Locking. Host consensus is that this is 'disruptive meta-discussion'
