Banned from the bernie site

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

get this, someone posted that if Hillary won the nomination they would leave the Democratic Party.

I pointed out that letting a republican win in November with the power to appoint 2 or more scotus judges would cause decades of misery to progressive values.

I got banned from the Bernie site. I shudder to imagine a country run with this type of thin skin.

Nobody has been banned from the Hillary group or anything? And your point about letting a Republican win? That's new.

They are nasty, evil things who eat babies and toss old ladies into street gutters ...

Avoid voting for Sanders ... Even if you have to vote for TEDDY BOY CRUZ! ...

Whatever you do - DON'T let those evil thin skinned Sanders supporters take power! ..


Before you know it, your social security will be secure, you children and grandchildren will be in college and bridges and roadways will be improved EVERYWHERE ...

EVERYWHERE! ... We cannot let this happen!

A Citizen's United/TPP/NAFTA guy? Hard to make the point that the SC matters when Hillary's picks will be worse than the latest one. My family not having to drink fracking waste is more important to me than abortion or whatever pet issue other people have. The senator from Punjab maybe can import some more votes to take the place of my family's votes but for now, we are voting for us.
