http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512126922
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
The nastiness of the Clinton supporters is bullying behavior. They need to dial it back. This OP is over-the-top insensitive bordering on a-hole.
JURY RESULTS
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jun 4, 2016, 11:30 PM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There is nothing hideable about this. Can't you take a little clean ribbing? For goodness sakes.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This post is just flame bait
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Just cut this shit out OK? We already know what kind of a person you are so you really don't have to keep proving it.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Nasty behavior, when applied daily sort of looses its effect after a while. I hope others take note.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's almost over.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is a post just designed to rub people's noses in the result of the primaries. Also it's potentially a little creepy as too young to vote is also underage which I really hope isn't the poster's intention.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(3,580 posts)Some Bernie supporters are coming undone. I suspect most of them will pull themselves together in time for the GE.
They've come undone
They didn't know what they were headed for
And when they found what they were headed for
It was too late
They've come undone
They found an ego that was far too high
And when they found out he couldn't fly
It was too late
It's too late
They've gone too far
He's lost the nom

puffy socks
(1,473 posts)Regularly since 2004 on a site called Newsvine until conservatives were gang collapsing comments and the site changed the format into echo chambers so we could all preach to the choir in 2011. I left.
Tried HP it but it became a tabloid rag and then they purged commenters and tried to force people to give their true names and to prove it through facebook with real phone numbers.
I actually had started here earlier around 2002 but ended up on another site because I was using a Dell Dimension Pentium III and I couldn't read the posts without hitting "view all" every time and it would s l o w l y loaded the page.
Then I lurked DU now and then because a lot of people on this site had great info. from credible sources and I liked to pass them along.
I couldn't remember my member name or which email I had used here. So I started a new account in April 6 months after double knee replacement. They gave me these super puffy socks, hence the name.
This is now the only place I post as Raw Story , Crooks and Liars and Alternet all succumbed to Bernie bros and Hillary supporters were being thrown off the sites in droves after posting things like " I like Bernie but how is he going to break up the banks?" being swarmed with nasty personal attacks until you stop being so civil and then they run to the moderators to have people thrown off.
I watched around twenty people get cut from RS in just one night. I'd had enough of being censored while Berniebros could post whatever they wished.
And here I am!
My problem now is that its obvious none of these people are going to be civil and it just bothers me to let them have free reign and post the ridiculous blather replete with Hillary and Hillary supporter bashing on a daily basis.

I understand.. you're new to these ones on DU.. I've seen the same ones diss President Obama for 7 years.. so they bore the **** outta me. So damn predictable.
Welcome to DU, puffy socks~& Hillary's Group~

(1,473 posts)Thanks for your kindness, Cha.
It's really nice to talk with HRC supporters here.
I have liked Hillary ever since she took on Dick Armey back in the mid 90s over health care
I voted for Obama in 2008 only because I thought (lol) that she would be more polarizing than Obama due to the raging hatred the GOP had for the Clintons.
I was totally unaware of the rampant racism that still exists and my eyes were smacked opened during that election.
I can't wait for the GE when this junk is over and we can concentrate on stomping any possible Trump presidency into the dust and inaugurate her presidency come Jan 2017.

When a device is smarter than its owner, it is truly scary!
I see from FiveThirtyEight that Hillary is listed with six of seven VI pledged delegates. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/delegate-targets/democrats/
I firmly believe that Puerto Rico will add a significant number to Hillary's total, especially because Bernie's campaign seems to have a feel for foot-in-mouth tactics there.

Clinton moves closer to nomination, sweeps in Virgin Islands
People were excited and overjoyed when Bill Clinton came to visit," said Cecil R. Benjamin, who chairs the party there. He noted that in addition to the seven pledged delegates, all four of the Virgin Islands' superdelegates are now backing Clinton. Superedelegates are party officials who can back any candidate.
"We are the only state or U.S. territory where she got 100 percent of the delegates," he said, citing in part the large voter turnout. "It was great, and we are ready for the national convention."

My friend and his wife took a 2 week honeymoon to Europe and their favorite place was Suisse because everyone was so nice! But, Italy was their favorite for food!

(15,496 posts)might actually have a VI "sweep!"
Here in la Suisse romande, we get both excellent French and Italian cuisine - the best of all worlds, LOL. Perhaps your friends spent more time in the German-speaking areas that concentrate on the heavier Swiss cuisine.
I like that too, but prefer the Italian and French.

(305,400 posts)Clinton wins 87% to Sanders 12% - Clinton gets all 7 delegates - Sanders non-viable in the Virgin Islands.

I can't wait until he's non-viable in the whole country except maybe Vermont.
BlueMTexpat
(15,496 posts)continue to believe that he IS viable.
I sincerely hope that he will show more class after Tuesday than he has in the past couple months. If not, that's his call, but we'll move on without him.

(2,032 posts)...but I have a herniated lumbar disc and was getting a little bored being that there is so little that I can do. While the place is truly a cesspool, I was so proud of the Hillary supporters I saw in there. Despite being overwhelmingly outnumbered, they held their own. They certainly are a lot braver than me. It will be so nice when it's safe to be a Democrat again on the Democratic Underground.

(27,255 posts)Someone was whining about their hidden post, that it shouldn't have been hidden because it was about policy and if you can't discuss policy then DU is just like Free Republic. I look at their transparency page and saw that, as I thought, the post had ended with the usual insults and that's why it was hidden.
That wasn't the amazing thing. Someone in the thread had advised this innocent victim of mean ol' Third Way Free Republic DU that "MLK didn't give up when they tried to block him." NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo................ I need a snifter of brandy.

In ten years and until this spring, I've never had my transparency page made visible or been sent on time-out. Both things have happened to me since March.
