I've come to wish all of you and Senator Sanders all of the best, and to ask a favor

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by smokey nj (a host of the Bernie Sanders group).

Would you please ban me from your group?

(note, I asked back on Sunday here http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1280&pid=122530 I assume that most of you have me on "Ignore", so I certainly get the delay).

Normally, DUers would do this by making an obnoxious post against the candidate supported by the group. However, I really don't have too much unkind to say about the Junior Senator from Vermont. I remember listening to his weekly appearances back on Air America, and notwithstanding the fact that I don't support him for President, I think he's an outstanding liberal voice. It's nothing personal, but if I'm to stand up and be counted, I'd like to be counted with those on your banned list.

Since this will most likely be my last appearance in this venue, I'd like to encourage every Democrat/liberal/progressive to work to retake the Senate, and maybe (just maybe) we can save the SCOTUS.

Blessings to all of you, and we'll see how the convention goes.

You don't have to be banned to not see it or participate.

for the psychologists in the group to mull over.

Me? I don't care enough.

I dunno. I'm an IT specialist by day and musician by night, I don't bother with moonlighting as a psychologist.
