But threads here are locked regularly for nothing even close to that.

1. No it is not OK

Disgusting exhibition of hyper partisanship. Berniebots are getting more and more desperate

[lunamagica]

2. They just want to get rid of us...But we will have the last laugh! They are desperate

because the "revolution" is not happening, so they take it out on us.

Pathetic.

[Coolest Ranger]

3. My heart is sick

I am sick of the personal attacks against us by folks like that

[stonecutter357]

4. That is what cowards do they hide.

[NurseJackie]

6. I don't even waste my time alerting on ANYTHING AT ALL. Why bother?

Double standards all around. Skinner really does need to do something. (But what? I guess that's the question.)

I've figured out that this site had "moderators" at one time and that was traded for community peer-reviewed moderation. All well and good, I suppose... except the 6:1 ratio of Bernie to Hillary supporters makes it very tempting (and easy) to abuse the system that was originally designed for community standards of behavior, not political differences of opinion.

Perhaps a group of "jury moderators" would be a solution. Obviously, with a massive site like this one appears to be, it's impractical to moderate every single post for every single group and forum and sub-forum. But, it may be easier to have a group of individuals who watch the jury system to help prevent (and discourage) people from blatant abuse.

7. When you see something even a tenth as nasty, hit Alert

It's time we cleaned this crap off the board.

[riversedge]

8. outside of

bernie group I do. most are let to stand

[jmowreader]

17. Do it in the Bernie Group too!

They're coming into the Hillary Group and hiding anything even slightly negative about their Man Crush, so there's precedent.

[GusBob]

9. Crap I've seen worse

much worse.



Note to Jury: you guys ever see that movie...."12 Angry Men"? whereupon one juror convinces the rest to conquer their preconceived notions in order to discover the truth. Its a play also.

[On the Road]

10. I Voted to Hide That Thread

due to the phrase " the disgusting crevices of the Democratic Party that need to be cleansed."

there is a tension between the two groups DU was created for (Democratic party members and other progressives), but that does not sound like it came from a Democrat.

[UtahLib]

11. Sorry to see, 'shouldn't be allowed' has become the new normal on DU.

[Fred Sanders]

12. What troubles me is how every pathetic attack on Clinton is being carefully monitored and filed

away by the GOP for use in the general....Bernie supporters may be the enemies best soldiers when Clinton takes on Trump.

Attacks without substance based on speculative nonsense on Democratic leaders used to be a con thing.

[2naSalit]

14. I noticed that too......nt

[LexVegas]

13. It will change soon I hope. nt

[kjones]

15. Yeah, well, if any of this crap sticks around after Bernie fails, I'm out of here.

If it's just going to be handed over to that kind of crowd, I'm not going
to stick around for it.

[BillyDawg]

16. Obvious double standards

are obvious

[DawgHouse]

18. Wow!

[otohara]

19. Gawd

[fleabiscuit]

20. Jesus, that's about the lamest thing I've read on DU. It's in the appropriate group. eom

[uppityperson]

21. They were banned

[PeaceNikki]

22. Thank you! Good. But that was rec'd by 160 people which is pathetic.

There was a horribly racist troll last night that was welcomed and patted on the back. It's gross.

[jsmirman]

23. Yeah, 39 posts, what the heck did anyone think that was besides Repub trolling?

wake the fuck up, people!

Your hysteria is being used by those with goals that are decidedly not Democratic.

All those recs - how embarrassing.

[sheshe2]

25. Yup 160 recs.

Un effing believable.

[sister_rosa_refried]

24. Well it is in the Sanders group.

Throw piles of doo-doo are probably allowed as well.

[Agnosticsherbet]

26. A broad attack on a whole group of members should never be OK.

A member since 2012 with 39 posts, should know that.

[George II]

27. Well, thankfully that clown has been banned. See:

28. I could say...

... the same kind nasty shit about Bernie Sanders and his supporters, but I wouldn't do it from here.

[Beaverhausen]

29. I wouldn't do it anywhere

Bernie himself is always gracious. His supporters - not so much. But I try to just ignore them until they accuse me of not being liberal or a democrat simply because I don't support a certain candidate.

[quickesst]

30. I hear you...

... That's why I said I "could" say those things. My point was that if I did decide to do it, I would not do so from a safe perch knowing that all I would get is praise and enthusiastic agreement. Singing to the choir is never genuine reward.
