Looks like they found a way around Skinner's "no upvoted junk on the front page" ban

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10824943

The Washington state group, which is lightly used and has upvoted threads mostly in the single digits with an occasional 15-20, suddenly has a 200+ "feel the bern!" schmaltz.

You can't tell me that this wasn't coordinated...

They're in the denial phase right now.


I'm not sure if this is the 24th or 25th different strategy for victory for Bernie Sanders but it is running out of steam. If they were Republicans I'd say the next step was "pray for victory" but I'm not sure how they'll swing that.

stuff on the front page. I mean seriously how many DU'ers go the the Washington page on a regular basis. They must solicit comments and rec's on the BS Forum. Typical, anyway to get around the rules.

You can't tell me there isn't a FB group somewhere where this is coordinated. Then they fly around and squawk about "huge support!11" for their candidate like this is spontaneous. Bullshit.

Our hosts, moderators and administrators have to keep tweaking!

I'll venture into GD-P now because it won't go to the Home Page headlines!

'They' have another purpose.

It's very hard for me to get into that mindset. It doesn't make any sense.

We know Hillary is on her way to securing the nomination.

I have no problem giving the losing side a way to vent their frustrations.

Remember to the victor go the spoils.

there are no hosts for that group so that's why they posted it there. I went to the ATA and posed the question to Skinner to see what he says

I prefer to use my energy and time on doing actual good for my candidate. Such as donating, volunteering, helping people register to vote. Encouraging her supporters such as in this group.
