but with one caveat...the alerters are swarming any post that doesn't bow down to their candidate. They apparently love alerting in protected groups.

So, I have been lurking on DU for several years...but sadly my first ever thread was hidden by jury yesterday when I commented how it made me feel sick to see a group of Bernie supporters call Hillary "evil".

It was the first time I ever felt completely unwelcome in a supposedly Democratic forum. I wasn't professing anything negative about Bernie...I like Bernie a lot and considered voting for him...but I decided to stick with Hillary because my gut, heart, and head all tell me she is best positioned to take this all the way to the White House.

I am really saddened to see so much negativity among Democrats (on both sides, but more so from Sanders supporters in my observation).

I've decided to support Hillary, I'm a New Hampshire voter...It's nice to see other Hillary supporters trying to carry on a civil discussion in support of our candidate.

I'm sorry that your first post got hidden. But on the other hand, that's kind of a cool story. If you stick around here for years to come, you'll forever be able to joke about how you entered DU with a bang.

In fact, many of us consider Martin O'Malley to be a perfectly acceptable second choice!

This group is the only island of sanity on DU at the moment. Things will get better after Super Tuesday.

Avoid General Discussion Primaries for awhile. It's a mess in there. I am sorry your post was hidden. It was a bad hide.

Reason for alert: "simply pointing out FACTS is not hateful." Sure, sure, yammering on every day with your hair on fire about how Hillary is a warmongering Satan and she and Bill Clinton broke America is totally FACT, man.
