This is the unstated theme song of the Bernie Brigade:
It should be pretty easy to understand WHY they can't play that at Bernie's pep rallies.
They're angry because they come from a generation that's never heard the word "no" before. Now they're asking for things that simply can't be done, and they're taking it out on everyone when someone tells them, "we can't do that." If you've been in General Discussion-Bernie for more than a minute, you've probably noticed some variation on this graphic: a picture of Hillary Clinton with the words "No We Can't!" written on it. Well, ya know something? In some cases we really can't. No one can.
A Hillary supporter gets a hide in the Hillary group because DU was never designed for the possibility of an internecine war. The system allows any member to alert on a post no matter where in the board it is, and allows any member to serve on the jury for that post. In the open part of DU (which many of us refer to as "Bernie Underground" that system makes sense. In the Groups it's a different story: we're getting to the point where there needs to be a "Candidates" section in the Groups menu, you can only join one candidate's group, and you need to be a member of that group to alert on or jury posts in it. Since we don't have that, the Bernie people are running roughshod over the Hillary group.

Yes, alert on that hide - one of the "explanations" actually had almost nothing to do with it at all

All of the folks who voted to hide that post should be banned from serving on juries. nt

Yup. It is literally calling for the fatal sadistic sexual assault of our leading female candidate.

Right. Because feminists think impaling a woman vaginally with a brick is not sexist. At all.
