Bernie Sanders

Ok, I read a lot but don't post often. And up until 1 minute ago I would have voted for Hillary if she won the nomination. I just changed my mind.
Over at Cha's ridiculous post about how people on the left aren't angry and that is why Sander's campaign is flawed, which can be found here, I made a reply about it being an age issue. (Read if you'd like).
It was my 13 post, and I have been member and reader for years. It takes a lot to get my to bother with a post.
Within 20 seconds I got this in my inbox: You have been blocked from posting in the Hillary Clinton group by Cha. If you believe this is an error, you may contact Cha for more information.
I can no longer post or make replies in the Hillary Group. I can't even defend my point or myself in future replies.
Is this now the undemocratic underground? This is a joke. We are certainly the company that we keep. If that is how Hillary supporters view the world, then I want none of them or her.
Bernie started at 4% less than a year ago with no name recognition and a media blackout, and he now is winning many national polls against a candidate that has the media support and name recognition. You think the left isn't angry? What propelled him so much in so little time? His charismatic youthful appearance? His household name? His Jewish ethnicity? His atheism? He is doing well DESPITE the factors against him because people like me ARE MAD AS HELL and sick of the inequality and injustice. When did so many people on the left become as ignorant and blind as the right?
I'm officially feeling the Bern.
EDIT: Heh. Cha responded with "no you can't guess my age. How arrogant." So I checked her profiled "Now retired and living on Kaua'i." I guessed right. No wonder she isn't angry. Sounds like a nice life that many people my age fear we will never know if things don't change soon.
