Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein offers collaboration with Bernie Sanders
Lots of Bernie supporters fine with the idea--the idea really being that if Bernie is not the nominee they should vote for her.

The rules were thrown out the window years ago, and it's been "anything goes" since then.

(71,265 posts)They won't admit it but most of those doing the Bernie or bust are green party voters.
Some are honest about it but most are not.
It is completely unacceptable and it should be locked but it won't be.

(6,537 posts)are still fewer than the Hillary supporters. Just not on this website. If the admins don't clear the air with these non-Democrats after Hillary becomes the nominee officially, I'm outta here. After 11 yrs.

(46,032 posts)There was a sentence or two in Skinner's post about how not supporting the Dem candidate against someone like Trump was completely inexcusable. They banned an old-time member who wanted to gather pledges that people would never vote for Hillary. I think they don't want to designate her as the candidate until it's official, but once it is, this crap will end.
Edited to add: I sure hope.

(23,637 posts)They are actively advocating for BS supporters to leave DU and join more friendly sites like jackpineradicals.
So, it may be time to jump ship and find a more liberal friendly website/blog out there. One where one doesn't have to worry about the admin's blatant pro-establishment-bias.
I know www.jackpineradicals.org is around, and many of the members are former long time members from here... but I haven't been able to adapt to the style of their site. It's a great site, and I highly recommend it for those looking for an actual liberal atmosphere.
In any case, I'm hunting for somewhere else to hang my digital hat."
I get the feeling this is a poster who has been banned once before and returned under another handle. Just too comfortable with all the in's and out's of DU. Something like this should have them banned again and give them the wish they want...to leave DU instead of mucking up DU until they find a more accepting environment.
