I am not on DU as much these days

because I am spending time with family and friends.

I am very happy generally to see many good friends returned from exile and the better tone on DU since the results of March 15.

But some STILL don't get it. I have seen, for example, two OPs this am where dubious sources were cited to continue posting trash against Hillary. One case I alerted on and am waiting to hear the results. For the other, I was a juror and the post was allowed to stand 4-3. I found that abusive and alerted on the jury's results.

There is still a lot of work to do before DU will become a collegial source of expression of support for actual Democrats. I am frankly sick and tired of the nastiness. Period.

I know the precise date the media will admit Hillary Clinton is the democratic nominee
March 16th to April 9th, the boring phase
April 19th to April 26th, the Hillary-crushes-Bernie phase, or Rome destroys Carthage

This was my message to him..

Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I say hide the BS.. it's stupid crazy talk just to inflame. I say the poster started this just to prove he's "tough". Bad luck with your little ploy.

Have lots of Fun with your family and friends!

I am REALLY enjoying the experience. I hadn't seen some since 2005 and it was great to reconnect!

Now I am enjoying my granddaughter, who is a Hillary supporter - of course!

I'm participating in a Preference Poll on Saturday the 26th.. never have experienced this before.. you've heard of one, right?

snip//

Question: Why do you call it a Presidential Preference Poll and not a Caucus? •Answer: Because it’s not a caucus! The Poll has some similarities with other caucuses. The Democratic Party of Hawaii organizes and pays for the Poll. The Poll results will decide how Hawaii splits our 34 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. The polls are conducted at the local level. But unlike a caucus, the voting in Hawaii is by secret ballot.
