So this is where the cool posters are

[Skink]

I got an email banning me from the Hillary group. To my knowledge I haven't posted there.

[cantbeserious]

1. Welcome

eom

[SamKnause]

2. Welcome.

I am #23 or #24 on their ever growing list.

I think it is almost up to 700.

[valerief]

5. Wow, you're a trailblazer. I'm #55. nt

[Jenny_92808]

9. I am #383 banned from the Hillary group

The last I looked there were 724 on their banned list. It appears that they LUV their echo chamber.

[SamKnause]

11. I guess they have zero policy discussions.

They just agree with her 100%.

[Jenny_92808]

12. I suspect that you are

100% correct. silly bunch!

[Depaysement]

18. Not zero

1% policy discussions.

[SamKnause]

25. That made me smile.

Good one.

[bvf]

16. Hell, they passed 700 a while ago. 739 as of yesterday. n/t

[SamKnause]

17. They believe in unity. Ha Ha Ha

Is is a nasty little club and I am glad to not be part of it.

[bvf]

22. You know it.

Interesting to see what they're up to sometimes, though.

They continue to expend a great deal of energy:

1) alienating everyone who refuses to goosestep to the Clinton drum, and

2) alerting everything in sight.

3. Welcome to the club. So many of us have been banned for ages for the most minor

of infractions, for example, posting facts. We wear it as a badge of honor.

I suggest you trash the Hillary group altogether and regularly trash posters who have Hillary as their favorite group. It's the best thing you can do to maintain a cheery outlook!

[HooptieWagon]

4. Preemptive banning.

Just in case you try to post anything factual.

[SoapBox]

10. I wonder if that can be done?

And crap like that speaks volumes about her supporters.

They want you to shut up, get in line and do what the Third Way Entrenched Elite Establishment DINOs tell you to do...all with no discussion.

I say, Fuck that Shit.

[Jenny_92808]

14. I am with you

Fuck that Shit

[angstlessk]

6. Trust me I ain't cool!

I am an old lady who would have to hold her nose to vote for clinton.

I am at the age and gender at which I 'should' vote for Clinton..hell I have three granddaughters, but I would love for them to be able to go to college...since our family is not rich...

Rather than have their future husbands go to war!

[Mike__M]

7. Is that what they call

"outreach"?

[Land of Enchantment]

8. Welcome to the club! I was banned on my 3rd post

no knowing the 'rules' about 'groups'. You don't want to fall into that snakepit anyway!

[bunnies]

13. Most Bernie supporters have given up on DU.

On to more like-minded pastures.

[RoccoR5955]

15. Welcome to the club!

#49 checking in!

[jillan]

19. Yay. Come on in we're a close group and

We take care of each other

[southerncrone]

20. Well, I guess "if you not w/Hillary, then your against her...."

Chin up, kiddo, they banned me a couple of wks ago, #659 banned. The only time I've ever been banned since I joined in 2006. To me, that shows what they are made of. They are apparently a "closed society" and not a "big tent".
Looks like they are running off/offending over 700 Democratic votes for her. IF she wins the primary, you'd think they wouldn't want to burn that many bridges, huh?

[Kalidurga]

21. I got banned a couple weeks after trashing the group...

So, I don't know how the thread I responded to even showed up on the latest threads page. But, it did and I said something to a poster on that thread that had nothing to do with Hillary and it wasn't even a critique of the content of the post I responded to. I just told the poster that their response had nothing to do with the OP and it didn't. I can't say I got shook up by the experience. I just look at it as an added layer of protection keeping me from having to explain facts to the acolytes.

[southerncrone]

23. After perusing the Hillary blocked list, I saw they have even blocked some of their own!

Could they be mirroring what the Repubs are going thru?

Inquiring minds want to know!

[dooner]

24. Happened to me too

I had no idea I wasn't allowed to express an opinion on something on "Greatest" list. Turns out post originated in the "Hillary" group, so even though it was mixed in with Greatest, I got an email telling me I couldn't post in Hillary group "anymore".

a) I'm not in the habit of noticing origination of posts in Greatest
b) My comment was pretty benign ... I'm not a flame thrower or troll

Feels like DU ain't what it used to be. Will I get banned for saying THAT?

26. There are some better places to read more detailed insightful

discussion of current political events. I gave up on that here some time ago and decided to follow the smart people with a sense of humor. It is evident that the word Democratic has become a label for a party, not a discrete progressive political identity who's values were defined by FDR and further refined by the Civil Rights Era, the peace movement and the social policies of Lyndon Johnson. It's current incarnation resembles the Nixon Whitehouse skewed to the right.

[dooner]

27. so where...

did the smart people with a sense of humor go?
