... I can still see their posts on home page under Latest Threads. Had trash canned the group but still see the posts off and on showing up on home page.

Congratulations. You join a great number, it speaks volumes about them than those they boot.

They've even got some guy who's a D level democratic strategist that makes tv appearances posting stuff for them and his tactics are the same as all of theirs. No substance, just "nyah nyah" tabloid bullshit. These supporters can stuff it if they think we're going to coalesce.

I did.

They'll regret being so smarmy if and when Hill needs help in the GE, 'cause I won't be around then.

depending on how you want to score it, I am 1-0 in the Hillary group...one of my first posts after coming back to DU after a long layoff...within my first 30 minutes...

one and done..not even a caustic comment on my part...i may have innocently used the word coronation, which upon reflection, and had I been back in the swing of things on DU, I would have realized was 'ban bait' and would have gone ahead and unleashed some far more worthy ban-deserving comments...

they could be fun to play with...but they won't let you in their sandbox...

and asked her why. Not even the courtesy of a response.

I suppose if they had to write an explanation to everyone they banned, they'd have no time to post and brag about banning people. It would have gone a long way for me, though.

No tears being shed here. There's strange lumps in that sandbox.

It would be for all of us who have been banned from the Hillary Group. I am curious as the exactly how many have been banned.

When I open DU, it opens to to the GDP. That way, I don't get side lined into groups I do not belong to.

Don't read the OPs, really...there is nothing there that will enlighten you.


When this election is over and Hillary is finally gone, we won't even remember our small pains...let it go.

Sadly DU is overwhelmingly Bernie and if you are a Hillary supporter who is booted from Hillary group, there is no place for you here.
