(4,377 posts)That's exactly where the disconnect seems to come in. I've seen threads where a Bernie supporter has said something innocuous as hell and been told to GTFO in no uncertain terms. Any supportive Sanders comment is generally met with a variation of 'this isn't the place for that' yet nothing of the sort when its Hillary?
I understand the anger that some threads like that stupid as hell Stockholm Syndrome caused but we've reached a point where every Bernie supporter is treated as if they completely supported and agreed with that, and that's despicable. Supporting a candidate doesn't mean we all sign a fucking groupthink pledge to back each others actions no matter what. We're supporting a candidate who has spent his entire adult life fighting for racial equality and the idea that we're all tone deaf and racially insensitive for it is rude as hell.
End of the day its an AA forum and whatever system the mods chose to enforce there is their own business, but at least spare us the hypocricy of pretending its all fair and balanced.
