Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumUmm...Okay. I was just blocked from Hillary Clinton group.
But I actually unsubscribed that group long time ago.
I'm kinda new here and I'm not familiar with all the rules.
I didn't think that was possible. To be blocked from a group that you already unsubscribed...?
And before I got blocked, anything recent that I said about her is that
1. She got endorsement from Human Rights Campaign because only 32 people on the board of directors voted, which by the way, is born out by reality. All of the endorsements that she got from unions and civic groups came about as a result of leadership decision, not by popular vote of the members.
2. I said that she's not gonna be a good commander-in-chief because she's hawkish. And that she's not gonna be "tough" on Putin as opposed to Bernie who's gonna be "weak" (because that's not how foreign policy works). And then I got accused of sexism (of course). Because that's what I am, right? After all, I support Bernie. So I must be a sexist. It doesn't matter that I'm a girl myself, and I've been dealing with sexism and harassment as a child and as an adult. If I prefer Bernie's dovish foreign policy stance than Hillary's hawkish one, then I'm a sexist.
I really don't understand their mentality.
And it's funny that I got blocked from a group I never want to be a part of.

Camp Weathervane is very touchy right now. The Hillbots were all set for the coronation and that commie, racist, sexist draft dodger spoiled everything. That's some of the nicer things they've said about Senator Sanders.
Their mentality is simple: They're cultists

(11,785 posts)As long as you've made at least one post in a group, you can be blocked from it. So even if you made an innocuous post in that group but said something somewhere else on DU that the hosts didn't like, you could be blocked.

I intimated as much and that got me the ban stick. Lol.

(46,699 posts)I wasn't even aware I was in their group when I posted an anti-Florida screed, which also reflected on Hillary's high poll numbers. It was less than a minute before I realized my mistake and I went to delete it. But, a minute was all it took. I too was banned.
Probably for the best.

I put being blocked by the Hillary group right up there with being banned from the Freepers site.
