2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The Netroots Nation videos of Bernie and Martin. [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)to the Protestors who had a genuine point of view they wanted to express.
The Disinfo on DU that Sanders "walked out, wasn't engaged, was miffed or drowned out and gave up" as opposed to those pushing that O'Malley handled everything the way it should have been handled was very BIASED.
It wasn't until I could watch what really happened with "madlforidian's" posts of the Video that I could make sense of what had gone on Today at Net Roots Nation and realize that many DU'ers were SPINNING what really went on.
Many of us were out doing other things on Saturday and couldn't get Feed or Video to know what the heck went on and relied on DU Posters to Inform Us...not realizing how Partisan DU is these days and that the Owners of this Site are Hillary Clinton Supporters and therefore there might be folks here suppoting Hillary's Views doing Disinfo/Misinfo or working to "play down" news about the other Candidates.
Its well within the rights of the OWNERS of DU to DECLARE for THEIR CANDIDATE....but, as long as they still toleratate those of us who disagree with their Choice then I think they are kind enough to still allow us to POST...but that there are those working for Hillary who will always have the "First Dibs" as to SPIN.
It's just Politics......but, it doesn't mean that Dissenters of Hillary are Banned until the Primaries are Decided that "We GET THE "Heave Ho Out the Door."
Until then I hope that in the "Spirit of Democracy" that there is still DEBATE and DISCUSSION allowed here on this Site working to get a Dem Candidate Elected inspite of the Differences between Site Owners and the Participants?
Bernie Here..is Well Worth the Watch!
