Wow! Thanking a Sanders supporter

Cross posting from GDP, in case it get hidden.

and being blocked from the Sanders group.

Like many, I start with the "Latest Thread." So when the first one was from someone saying he was not going to vote for a Republican - which I have been promoting on these pages since 2004 - I went there, thanked and recommended.

And, yes, I identified myself as Clinton supporter. Many Sanderistas visit the Hillary group with no ill effects. Even the one who trash her - the juries leave them in place.

So blocking me for thanking someone on the site - your insecurity must be really strong.

I feel sorry for you. This is no way to hope for a victory.

Wonder now how long a jury of Sanders peers will leave this one here.

Before that thread was locked, they posted that they did not believe a word I said. So I posted the email that I got as well as the link to the "offensive" post and they... put me on ignore..

I suppose the only thing left for me is to crawl to my tunnel and weep..

Yeah, right.

Right to muzzle any opposing or contrary opinions and facts...surely doesn't elevate the discussion... I even got a PM from someone asking why I was so mean about Bernie....made me chuckle...I like Bernie.... He just can't win in November... Right-wing media will destroy him

We don't have to agree or disagree with their decision. It is up to the hosts. Plenty have been blocked from this group who disagree too. I try to stay out of that group. I have accidentally posted from the Latest page, too, but self-deleted in time. But if I had not, would fully expect to get a block.

and I have yet to see anyone being blocked. We thank them, even recommend, I think.

And if someone argues with us, we usually politely point it out to them that they are in the wrong group.

But to block for thanking someone there?

Well, as I said, was my only second time to visit and first to post. I do stay away from there. I just think it is childish and insecure to block someone for... saying good thing.
