Warning If you post in " GD: Primaries" asking to be allowed to vote 1st you will get LOCKED [View all]

Unbelievable

this was the post that they locked
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511417152

"Please let everyone vote first"

"This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by ******** (a host of the General Discussion: Primaries forum). If you believe this was done in error, please contact ******** to appeal."

"A post that I was responding to was just locked, I can only guess it was because the poster used profanity, so I have reposted the hart of their request below with the response that I had written;

"The. Primaries. Are. Not. Over. Over half the country still hasn't voted yet. Got that? Fucking California, or New York, or Oregon, or Washington and a whole lot of other people in a whole lot of other states HAVEN'T VOTED YET.

I am so sick of the loyalty oaths and now I read where a long-time DUer wants to start another purge, yes, I said PURGE, all those not swearing blind fealty to the Democratic Party. NOT ALL OF US HAVE VOTED YET!"


my response;
Your primary vote will count this time
Trust your hart do not let the BS get to you, Bernie is far from done. "


I was ask to edit this post removing the host who locked the post so I block out their name I hope that this clears up the problem.
