Not once has DU banned people who supported candidates that didn't get the Democratic Nomination. Hillary people were allowed to say in 2008 and moan and pout as they did, Bernie people will be allowed the same.

Those who have been banned were working against the Democratic Nominee. That's Skinner's rule. This is much ado about nothing.

Your profile says you're in Nevada - a swing state muriel_volestrangler Jun 2016 #15

In Nevada we have kiva Jun 2016 #18

In the general election for president? That's irresponsible. muriel_volestrangler Jun 2016 #23

I have to live with the consequences kiva Jun 2016 #28

The entire world would have to live with Trump as president muriel_volestrangler Jun 2016 #43

You have the NHS. kiva Jun 2016 #47

So you want to punish the Democratic party by letting Trump win muriel_volestrangler Jun 2016 #50

You have that backward. The democratic party is unresponsive to the people and a corporate arm of haikugal Jun 2016 #53

Not voting against Trump is like not getting your children vaccinated. muriel_volestrangler Jun 2016 #55

Again you have it backward. I will vote against Trump but I won't vote for Hillary. There fixed it haikugal Jun 2016 #56

If you don't vote for someone who stands any chance of winning, you might as well not bother muriel_volestrangler Jun 2016 #57

And many will be hurt Lazy Daisy Jun 2016 #62

This shouldn't be about your 'feelings'. It's about what is best for your fellow humans. muriel_volestrangler Jun 2016 #63

I didn't make it about my feelings, you did. Lazy Daisy Jun 2016 #65

The problem is that I don't think you're on the same side as DU and me muriel_volestrangler Jun 2016 #66

I went back over and reread my posts Lazy Daisy Jun 2016 #70

Pro-Sanders posts are 1/10th of the posts Sanders supporters make. LexVegas Jun 2016 #5

Curious what your calculation is for the post ratio for Clinton supporters... JudyM Jun 2016 #6

they are all about the issues reddread Jun 2016 #7

The Hillary group has been twice as busy as the Bernie group the last few days Renew Deal Jun 2016 #8

I see the post count is much higher. However the thread titles certainly are not more positive than JudyM Jun 2016 #20

Oh yea looking at that group now I can see all the happy hugs going on. TimPlo Jun 2016 #78

Pro-Sanders ops don't bother us. The vitriol against Hillary does. hrmjustin Jun 2016 #42

fine. nobody here really objects to pro-Bernie posts. It's the Fox News, Breitbart geek tragedy Jun 2016 #44

Can you see me? 2banon Jun 2016 #45
