and I thought we were sensitive...

[DURHAM D]

I just got a special delivery -

You have been blocked from posting in the Bernie Sanders group by smokey nj. If you believe this is an error, you may contact smokey nj for more information.

I have made exactly one post in the group - here is the now hidden OP/thread.

Oh well, I was there by accident anyway.

1. I just hope Bernie Sanders

is nothing like his supporters.

[DURHAM D]

2. I am trying to figure out if I need to draw the admin's

attention to items V and VI.

[shenmue]

3. Yeah

[MuseRider]

4. I am sorry to see that.

I had hoped the group would do better than that.

So sorry.

That hardly seemed a problem to me but I don't hang much with a group so....

[hrmjustin]

6. Most of the posts there are fine.

I wish that group well.

[MuseRider]

9. As I wish you all well.

Hillary may not be my cup of tea but I have decided that I am going to try to not be belligerent and horrible this time around. LOL (oddly most people just think I am being a tad bit cranky when I really think I am ripping them). There are sure things I like about her and even though I once said I would never vote for her I have to think about the young women in the country and SCOTUS. I trust her to put up candidates that would support women. So, there is a common ground.

Thanks, I still think I have seen way too much crap already from all sides but had hoped that the Bernie group would try to be more like Bernie. Oh well.

[hrmjustin]

10. It will get better.

[hrmjustin]

5. I can't speak to their ignore list because i ban people as well but that op is just wow.

I would love to see the results.

[MuseRider]

7. Thread was locked.

I still do not see why what you said was a blocking offense. Whatever was in the OP it must have been interesting!

Sorry, I forgot I am in your group.

[DURHAM D]

8. Actually a host announced a lock but

it didn't happen. Instead it was hidden. You can open the OP by clicking at the end of it on "Show Post".

[MuseRider]

11. Thanks. n/t

[giftedgirl77]

12. Well it's good to see they are starting to have some standards

with what gets posted as far what gets locked but no, I'm not sure why you get banned either.

I put them in the trash a while back because of the garbage that was being posted.

[Cha]

17. the host locking thought it was "inappropriate" which it was.. but the couple of replies

didn't think so.. except our OP, of course!

[madfloridian]

13. Oops..figured out my mistake.

Sorry about that.

[Thinkingabout]

14. I looked the thread because it was talking about Hillary and then

Realized it was Bernie's forum.

[Hekate]

15. The OP was horrible, and more than hide-worthy, but you just got swept away by the same broom...

It may have been an error on their part.

As for the OP, hopefully someone will send his post to the Admins for review.

[Cha]

18. "As for the OP, hopefully someone will send his post to the Admins for review.".. yes!

[Cha]

16. WOW! That was a worthy HIDE.. omg.. they've gone off!

Course those who posted have no effin' clue how wrong they are.. 'cept you.

Consider yourself, lucky, DURHAM.. ha, you were giving them a CLUE and they wanted no part of it.

[bettyellen]

19. And you agreed with other members who said it wasn't helping?

Same thing that got me kicked out. Agreed with Ivan about what he was saying about the campaign inside the group. Hilarious how they distrust women and POC to the point where they accuse of of being trolls. Fucking crazy.

[DURHAM D]

20. And now they have blocked that poster -

Man from Pickens from the Sanders Group.

Seriously, I made one post and just asked a question. Immediately I was blocked from the group. A Host announced he was locking the OP but he didn't ever lock it. Then a jury returns a Hide verdict but yet Man from Pickens is still a member in good standing in the Bernie Group. Eventually they decided that Man from P had to be blocked out as well. That was an interesting process.

I like Bernie and think he is a good man. I just don't think there is anyway he can win the WH. I live in the midwest and constantly encounter women who are life-long Republicans who can not wait to vote for Hillary.

This past week I started asking everyone what they think about Bernie. So far, most don't have any idea who he is and those that do wrinkle up their noses and say he is from back east. Midwesterns are very much aware of what coastal folks think about them and now they don't hesitate to return the attitude.

[bettyellen]

21. Ahh, I always assumed you were in the Carolinas! Interesting...

I agree that Hillary can capture a lot of women voters who are upset at the rollback in women's rights. The TPP isn't on many people's radar and while wealth inequality should be- I'm not seeing it resonate with many who weren't already super lefty political junkies. I would be perfectly happy to vote for Sanders if he turns this shit around and builds a broader coalition. I'm not denying that could happen either. I've suggested it needs to- and for that I'm a pariah!
Add to that the insults to women and POC over their Clinton support? It's not looking good, but I can't blame Sanders for the idiots here displaying hostility to women and POC. They aren't living in the real world. Their resentments are childish- they're voting for their pocketbooks and their freedom and resenting women for doing the exact same thing.
