Maybe when the little ball drops on its number and it isn't yours you can still lobby the dealer to pay out to you anyway. Weaver/Sanders math.

Those people add to what we know. That is Democracy in action.

Noise machines keep people from hearing what you want only a few to hear. That is undemocratic.

If no one gets 2,383 in pledged delegates, which neither candidate will, it is up the the supers to exercise their super important power to decide. That's their purpose, right? It's just playing the rules.

Those two are dicks, they really aren't good spokespeople for Bernie. I could say the same about BillC and several other Hillary peeps too, this sort of thing isn't a one-sided criticism.

On Wed Apr 13, 2016, 12:56 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

I thought you and Taverner were going to "take down DU"?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?c ... id=1721634

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Two out of the blue personal attacks. Why bring up previous "interactions" in an unrelated thread? Disruptive and rude. Admins need to use forced ignore. Until then, hide this crap.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Apr 13, 2016, 01:00 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I don't know the history between the two involved, but it seems a bit stalkerish and completely off topic.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is not a jury issue, shameful alert, if you desire to "mix it up" be ready for the results. Stop it.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter must be new around here. It's SOP to bring up comments made elsewhere on DU. If the poster has indeed written previously that she would "take down DU" there is no personal attack here. Nadin's adept at arguing her posts and a counterpoint to this comment is warranted, not a hide.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nothing wrong with pointing out interactions in other threads on DU, it happens all the time. Sure better than trolling other websites and posting those on DU, whether they're correct or not or even the same person. I don't see anything that rises to the level of a "personal attack" here. Leave it!
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster is responding to taunting posts.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

I don't do that, since I KNOW the jury system is beyond repair

But take the hint, put me on ignore, and FIND A NEW MARK.

You obviously need the entertainment for whatever reason that bullies do that.

Really, you are a collection of ones and zeroes on the internet. For all I know you are a persona program, running on somebody's server as a gag.

So really, if you believe I am god all mighty, or the devil himself, whatever dude. That is YOUR ISSUE.

Now run along. You got some bullying to do. And at this point, you are not just a non person and a collection of ones and zeroes, but a fucking funny joke. The joke is actually... on you.

It's no more unusual than continuously recommending one's own threads.
