Bernie Sanders Group

Just to make sure it's perfectly clear, this group is to support Senator Bernie Sanders in the primary and then the general election.

We post:

All the wonderful things that Senator Sanders has done

All the wonderful things Senator Sanders will do

How Senator Sanders will do the wonderful things he will do as President Sanders

How we help Senator Sanders become President Sanders

How we help Senator Sanders have a democratic Senate and House when he is President Sanders

Etc. You get the picture.

If you have an issue, alert the hosts. Instructions here: How to alert the hosts

If you have a really serious issue that you absolutely believe can't be handled by anyone but a jury, you know how to do that.

Otherwise, it's all good stuff about the only real liberal, progressive, unhindered, anti-corporatocracy, anti-oligarch, candidate running.

That we have the best group! True to our constant, consistent cause to remove money from politics to ensure there will be social justice and equality.

can we ask questions about Bernie?

because while he is my favorite candidate and I've side alot of research on him I have to admit I don't know everything.

There is a world of difference though between legitimate questions on stances, policies, etc. and trolling concern posts and passive aggressiveness.

The later is the kind of bullshit that this group finds objectionable and will lock, and the former is encouraged and desired.

16. of course

But any OP that uses some blog or anything else to dis him in the guise of asking a question will be locked. You may have seen what I'm talking about.

But of course questions are allowed. Because this is a support group for Bernie, please phrase it in the positive.

I don't want to make it sound like we're working on his campaign and nothing negative is allowed in a discussion. We're in a safe haven that isn't often safe. So rather than inviting the negative in, best to keep everything as positive as we can. Which is really easy with Bernie Sanders

This has been the best DU Group for me. The amount of information that comes through this one group is amazing. I've copied and forwarded several things obtained from this group and the response has been, "Where did you find that?" LOL!

I pale in comparison to the other hosts. They're all just awesome at this. But I appreciate the vote of confidence!

Imagine my shock to discover there are some misguided souls on this site who are not members of the best group.
