Appologies for the poll. I did not know it was illegal or could get people in trouble.

I posted only to find out if the election would be lost on March 10th.

1. no harm done.

thank you for the apology. :0

2. Funny what things are illegal in other countries.

It would be OK over here (UK,) so's gambling on election results. So far Clinton is the frontrunner with Trump a close second, the odds have shortened considerably over the last few weeks.

3. It was only "illegal" on DU, IOW, if someone picked the wrong choice,

that person could end up banned (for saying he/she would not vote for the Dem nominee).

6. That seems a bit OTT.

I've seen plenty of posts saying they would never vote for Clinton, and I don't think those people got banned.

7. If Clinton gets the nomination there will be posters scouring the old threads to bring that up

This place has a history of purges.

8. That's awful.

I thought this was a left of centre site, and supposedly progressive. If someone genuinely believes the nominee does not represent those values they shouldn't be kicked off for saying they'll vote for a 3rd party candidate. If they're voting Republican they should be banished to somewhere nasty, but not other left wing dissenters.

I can't vote in it anyway. Our attention is focussed on the referendum right now.

9. It's a relatively small minority who act that way, just like everywhere else I suppose

But it's possible to game the system and some people do, there's a lot going on under the surface. I'm not enough of a drama addict to stay clued in to it all but it's hard to miss after a while.

Just be aware that some of the people arguing really, really hard for Hillary now were arguing really, really hard against her in 2008, that's what this catastrophically awesome thread is all about.

5. I posted it because I wanted to know if the Dems were losing the election on March 10th

if they put in Hillary.

We are.
