In this climate, I'd probably get suspended for posting even the title of this WaPo article.

[Chichiri]

So I used Google's url shortener. Please read it.

1. And the reader comments I just read bear out EVERYTHING in this article.

Right down to defending #mississippiberning. It's as if they were scripted by the author, and then they magically appeared.

[mcar]

7. The cognitive dissonance is truly amazing, isn't it?

[LisaM]

10. Yes, we've gone through the looking glass. n/t

[Tommy2Tone]

3. Good read and thanks

[Starry Messenger]

4. I was juuuustt reading that, and wondered if anyone would post it.

It's very on point.

[GusBob]

5. Another one of those articles that starts out with the hate mail the author gets

From Bernie supporters. At first I thought these claims were an exaggeration.

I guess it happens all the time. Good thing we never see it around here



The mildest thing I have seen around here is when someone tells HRC to "kindly go **** yourself with a brick"

And that post got hidden with zero recs

Not

[Stand and Fight]

26. Try to find anything negative of Trump on Facebook or Twitter...

You'll know within a couple of minutes that it is no myth. They are vapidly vitriolic. Disgustingly so.

[KitSileya]

6. I posted it in GD: P

I figured, I have no hides, so I can afford the hit. Not going to wade in and discuss with them, tho'. They do personal attacks far too much, as I learned from my Elizabeth Warren thread.

[johnp3907]

8. And it's still up?

[KitSileya]

11. Yeah. I just posted link and 4 paragraphs, though.

Perhaps they can't get enough to agree to a hide when I don't comment?

[LisaM]

13. They've quickly set about proving that it's right.

I don't think they see it, but they're validating everything in the article. And quickly.

[GusBob]

9. I honor you with the royal cross of the Hill group

I dub thee bravest in the land

No hides? How do you do that?

I had a bad thought about Bernie and got the dreaded DU mail

[KitSileya]

12. I'm not an overly prolific poster. Living at GMT+1 makes it difficult to discuss on DU

I'm asleep when ya'all are posting away, and then I read when you guys are asleep. I've only posted 119 posts the last 90 days. I've been a member for 14 years, and have posted less than 3000 posts.

[GusBob]

15. Then I amend my citation

I dub thee royal high mucky muck and official reigning champion poster of GMT+1

I serve at your pleasure my leige

*genuflects*

[KitSileya]

16. LOL

Seeing as I live in a monarchy (a democratically decided by referendum monarchy at that,) I accept your submission, and dub you Sir GusBob. May you serve your liege faithfully, my vassal.

[pandr32]

38. Funny, but sadly--it is that bad out there!

[GusBob]

14. The opening paragraph has a lot of educated language

It might take awhile for the synapses to fire

[DesertRat]

17. Thank you

18. Trolls are beyond fatuous ...

Washington Post Ran 16 Negative Stories on Bernie Sanders in 16 Hours
[link:http://www.fair.org/static/bernie-static.html|

[HillareeeHillaraah]

20. 'negative' or 'fact based yet doesn't present Bernie in the best light'?

My money's on the latter.

[Thinkingabout]

29. I agree

[fleabiscuit]

35. So very true. K&R

[SharonClark]

36. True

[GusBob]

22. Tell us again about trolls?

[William769]

23. That's probably because he deserved it.

[NurseJackie]

19. Indeed they do ... in my opinion.

Go, Hillary! We love you!

[GusBob]

21. And this thread gets called out by a BSer in GDP

What is it with those people and the HRC group?

They are fixated on every word posted here

Just leave us the fuck alone

[LisaM]

24. They managed to get a post from here hidden

while simultaneously (IIRC) changing the title and then trashing it over in the Bernie Sanders forum - what a despicable tactic, shutting down discussion over here where it's supposed to be safe, and then re-writing the title (I think) and gleefully going at it over in their group (or maybe GD: P, they are indistinguishable at time). Is there a limit to the number of alerts someone can send? If not, I think there should be, otherwise people will just keep hitting the button and playing these games.

[Stuckinthebush]

25. Kids

They can't leave well enough alone. Every now and then they'll put down the joy stick, call up to mom to throw down some more string cheese and check the Clinton group for an offending post.

[Stand and Fight]

27. They're missing an alarming potential parralel between themselves and Trump's supporters...

Do they fail to see that their "passion" for their candidate is as worrisome as the physical abusive behavior of Trump's supporters? They're so eager to have this "revolution" that they're seemingly willing to cut off their collective nose to spite their face. I don't understand their long term strategy if they think alienating people, talking down to them, and being generally quite rude is a means to attract their detractors or those sitting on the fence.

28. More WaPo Articles By Janell Ross...

That will please Hillary supporters and tick off Bernie supporters. I see a trend.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/janell-ross

[SunSeeker]

30. Kinda sums up the state of DU when you are afraid to quote a WaPo headline.

But you had every reason to fear a hide, as shown by the hide in this thread of a poster who had the temerity to quote that headline and some paragraphs of that article.

[sufrommich]

31. My advice? Clinton supporters should stay out of GD/P,hell

find somewhere else to post and stay away from DU until and unless Skinner puts a stop to it. That's my plan,I'll post elsewhere.

[Buzz Clik]

32. LOL! Message #2 dared to go where the OP dared not...

... and the post was hidden!

[Rose Siding]

37. It's from the WASHINGTON POST....Thanks KitSileya

[Trust Buster]

33. This article confirms our own experience.

Sanders' biggest obstacle might be his own followers IMO.

[UtahLib]

34. Hmmmm, seems familiar.

[Hekate]

39. Very insightful. Recommended -- and surprise surprise the comments prove her point...

...right from the get-go.
