First, make no mistake about it, we exist in a hostile environment here.
There is a small but determined faction of "activists" who seemingly live to harass Bernie support.
Even in the face of that, we tried to play nice, and for the most part still do try to play nice with those who play nice with us. Our original Welcome and etc is here: BERNIE SANDERS GROUP - WELCOME & STATEMENT OF PURPOSE & OFFICIAL LINKS
We hosts have learned a lot since then. We have a system to alert the hosts to inappropriate responses:
On SOP alerts, if you are on our blocked list we probably won't take action on your alert unless it's incredibly, obviously, validly fucked up.
Please be careful and keep your zen strapped on tightly when venturing into GD: P. We've lost a few strong voices both permanently and periodically. Of these there is one whom we hold up and attempt to follow his example.
Jackpine Radical was posthumously made a host of the Bernie Sanders group. In memory and recognition of Jackpine Radical, aka Jim Peterson, for his dedication and hard work for the Democratic Party. He met adversity with kindness, nonsense with facts, problems with humor. An avid Bernie Sanders supporter, this group is dedicated to him.
Let's be careful out there, get out into the real world to spread the word about Bernie and change the world for the better.
Other useful linkage:

And a shout out to the hosts who keep the focus of this group positive.
I was wondering if there was a Bernie Group here and now have found it. 
Since I am not an American, I won't be voting but if I could I would be a Bernie supporter. I love what he is
passionate about and am always anxious to here of any news of him, his rallies , his appearances on TV, etc..
Too bad the media hardly ever covers him!! What a shame!!! 
I'm a passionate Bernie supporter. I live in the deep South and it is had to find very many ardent Bernie supporters except my husband. My three young children (3,6 and 8) know who he is and I tell them to talk to grandpa and grandma about Bernie every time they go over there. They voted for HRC
I'm glad that I found this group!
I LOVE your username! 
Hope you will have some good times here on DU, and in this Bernie Sanders Group too!
