Wouldn't know Bernie supporters were the bullies by reading this forum. HerbChestnut Feb 2020 #1
This forum is moderated. Bullying isn't tolerated. Also, it is harder to go after people pnwmom Feb 2020 #2

I'd like to see an example of bullying on DU by supporters of other candidates. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #8

It's not bullying. It's criticism. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #13
Vetting is bullying? sheshe2 Feb 2020 #17
There is a critical difference between criticizing and bullying, as described in the article. pnwmom Feb 2020 #19
Being cynical is not bullying. Sloumeau Feb 2020 #66

BS "floated" this.. Cha Feb 2020 #10
So, BS refuses to do anything about it... Sloumeau Feb 2020 #57
Pretty much covers it all. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #18
I have to say that a lot of us are actually not like that. ramen Feb 2020 #52

Yang had young supporters. But they're not known for being bullies. n/t pnwmom Feb 2020 #9

The conversations on DU are reasonably tame because the TOS requires them to be. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #29
This site is well-moderated. It's other sites where the bullying occurs. n/t pnwmom Feb 2020 #54

Not as large a pool of people. RandySF Feb 2020 #63
Still, you'd expect to have heard some reports, if the issue was being young and male. pnwmom Feb 2020 #65
