Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumI have been PROUDLY blocked from the Sanders group!
I replied to that CRAZY post claiming that Hillary was actively engaged in voter suppression, and in my reply post I simply said that this was an INSANE post and that ANYONE who believed it was INSANE and needed a psychiatrist right now.
I stand by it because it was on its face totally NUTS. I got blocked, of course, on a 4-3 vote and am very proud that I called out that craziness for exactly what it is. Totally DELUSIONAL nonsense.
Just like with Trump. ENOUGH of Democrats playing "high road" with right wing nastiness and NUTTERY! SLAM Trump and the right wingers as the LOONEY TUNES that they are. (And it is nice to see in local letters to the editor in my area that people are doing just that. It is WONDERFUL! There is no high road with the the likes of Trump and the INSANE right wing.) PISS ON THEM !

(13,570 posts)Amazing they didn't block this one. And to the juror who called ME crazy...NO. The crazy people are those who would be so off the rails as to claim and believe Hillary and her team were intentionally involved in voter fraud. That post was nuts, and if anyone can't see that then get to an eye doctor YESTERDAY.

(27,808 posts)Unfortunately I mistakenly went there via a link from, I think, this group. I didn't even criticize Sanders. I simply pointed out that Hillary would have had to time travel backwards if she'd changed the Arizona system after the Michigan primary (this was based on someone saying that she changed it after she lost that primary). But, I didn't realize I was over there, and wouldn't have posted that there on purpose.
I can't believe they're still flogging it.

(92,187 posts)wished to accomplish, and providence forgive me, but I had the audacity to suggest that whoever was President would need the Congress to get anything done. Yes, I know it was bad because I was questioning that the messiah could not get anything done without Congress, but that is what I did.
Unlike the many threads I have seen pop up from those supporters who felt so injured that they were blocked from the Hillary Group because they didn't accept the statement of purpose, I had no issue with being blocked from the Sanders group. I wasn't a Sanders' supporter after all, and they have every right to determine who should or shouldn't be blocked from their group.
When this process started last year, I had a very favorable view of Bernie, and considered the Democratic party lucky to have such fine candidates running for President, especially looking at what the republicans had to offer.
Whatever positive impression I had of the Sanders campaign is no more, and I lay that change of view directly at the feet of some of his supporters.
From the bullying of any organized group or individual who endorsed Hillary, to the constant threads popping up that if Hillary is nominee they will absolutely NOT vote for her in the general election has turned that favorable impression into pure disgust.
I imagine they are quite proud of how they have represented THEIR candidate

(3,212 posts)Like I said a few times, they're going all conspiracy nuts, because they don't understand most people do not think they do. So they assume that they're losing because of voter fraud, not mostly because more people, especially real Democrats, are actually voting for Hillary. Oh well.

(14,531 posts)I got blocked for replying "no". Yes. those great progressives who whine ad nauseam about how they get blocked in this group for saying "the truth". Yet in there, a post that is an absolute lie, was allowed to stand, and my 2 letter response got me blocked. Then they wonder why "some" people can not warm up to Bernie. They are befuddled why "some" people are completely turned off by him and it has nothing to do with Stockholm Syndrome.
It has to do with if Bernie can't reign in the absolute BS coming from his camp, how can we expect him to fight FOR us?

(1,965 posts)Take hardly any effort. They banned me from that asylum months ago, for agreeing with an OP that IF millenials all turned out to vote that BS would win in a landslide. True enough. I also pointed out that of the 25 or so millenials I'm acquainted with, only a very few could be bothered to spare 15 minutes on election day to actually vote. Within three minutes of making the post I got the DU Mail informing me I was banned.
When I sent a PM to the mod listed as who banned me, and who BTW wasn't even part of the converstaion, to ask just why I was banned, the chickenshit wouldn't even respond. Fuck that group.

(135,425 posts)It was in reply to angry tirades insisting he wasn't getting coverage (when he was).
For my trouble--and that's all I did, provide a link--I got blocked and received a snarky PM from a host, which I've saved for posterity.
They're welcome to their own group, but when they use the group as a firewall behind which they lob shit out the rest of us here assembled, I think that's wrong.
Conspiracy theories belong in the Woo Group.
