Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI figured out how to hide every thread with the word "Bernie" in the header.
I neither hate nor love the guy. I'm just bored of all the pointless threads. I figured out how to hide them so that I can see other, more interesting threads.
If you would like to do the same, go to "my account" at the top right of the page and pick the "trash" feature.

(36,841 posts)The incessant and childish whining is annoying.
It is a wonderful tool, though. I haven't checked my list in awhile: Hillary, Jill Stein, Mika, Nader, Morning Joe, 538, identity politics (don't remember why) and polls. I remember taking the asterisk (I was missing *Official* threads, so I just put the obnoxious offender on ignore), Perez and Ellison off more recently.
P.S. Trash thread is a wonderful feature, too.

No it is someone of the breaking news, ALL CAPS variety.

Cooley Hurd
(26,877 posts)...I simply click elsewhere. The primary is over as of 9 months ago. Time to move on for ANYONE still mentioning either of these individuals as relevant.
Except when they're actually relevant.

(42,753 posts)I don't want to exclude myself from jury duty completely but for about two weeks now it seems every jury call I've received had something to do with BS. Some times even two or three a day. He gathers a lot of interest, I'll say that for him.

He's a distraction when we should be unifying to crush repukes.
I voted for him in the primaries but am sick of the devisiveness.

(63,221 posts)what he stands for, but I am so sick of rehashing all this crap. I don't want to hear it anymore.
It reminds me of "The Life of Brian" when the PFJ and the Campaign for Free Galilee are fighting in the sewer...

I have a feeling many prodigal sons and daughters are returning. And smelling strongly of pine.
Have a nice evening.
