Well, I just learned a valuable lessson:

No matter how much I love Bernie and have appreciated all the links and posts in the very short time I've been a member. I will never again feel safe writing a comment or starting a post, so I won't.

Reason: I found a disturbing article online and SIMPLY ASKED WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT and ended up in a fucking JURY situation!!! Why the thin skin on here? I've been observing all the nit-picking and thwarting of input because some poor soul got their toes stepped on or their poor widdle feelings hurt. That isn't open dialog; that is a form of censorship!

Well, I suppose I'll be tossed for this post but, given my first amendment right (right?), I felt compelled to speak my feelings. This is a GREAT place for Bernie news and if you kick me out, well, I'll just go back to the limited stuff I find by searching "BERNIE SANDERS" which, by the way, is where I found that controversial article that I asked ONLY for help to find out if it was for real. THAT was my only motive....

O.K. I'm going to be VERY ILL if there is anything to this>>>>

I ran into something I would appreciate an answer to>>>>

What is a "Committed Delegate"?

O.K. Maybe that shows a little ignorance on my part but that's O.K. with me; I want to learn.

Someone on a thread posted the primary/caucus schedule which I forwarded to my email for reference. However, when I took a closer look, I saw that there were two columns called "Committed delegates" and "uncommitted delegates". There were MANY more committed than otherwise. Now comes my question: Does this mean that the "committed delegates" have chosen their candidate already, will somehow cast a vote for them, and, numbers being higher, create a WIN for that candidate?

I hope that is wrong because, if not, WHY VOTE? I look forward to an answer to this "shocking" information that I don't know what to make of.

Thank you all.
