Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumSo, of course Nance's thread was hidden, this being DU and all, but it is very truthful.

(4,035 posts)Any discussion about how HRC supporters were open targets for hounding, alert-stalking, even doxxing on many so-called progressive, Democratic websites is verboten, it seems.

(23,698 posts)donated a dime to the site. As non-star members they generate revenue, I guess because ads aren't blocked so they get displayed. Not sure how that revenue stream works. Does DU get a few cents each time an ad is displayed, or only when someone clicks on it? But come July after the convention, who will be here to support the site? Certainly not the "millenials". The fun is over, no more bashing, insulting and demeaning posts will be allowed so they'll move on to their next mind numbing activity.
No, who will be left will be the supporters off the Democratic Party and the true supporters of Democratic Underground. Those that know you change and improve from within, not by a frontal assault from outside interlopers.

At least as far as getting Hillary elected POTUS is concerned and that's the most important accomplishment, eh?

(685 posts)That notion changes the objective ~
Is it the Democratic Underground or the democratically Underground.
What's the mission statement again?
A voice for all or a voice for the strength of the Party?

Thanks, Squinch, for keeping these important issues out there.

(15,370 posts)I went to both, read them both and recommended them both.
Both were outrageous hides, IMO. But they may also get even more visibility as Hides. I'm sure that's not what the rabid SBS alert-stalkers intended. But we will continue to stand tall together and support our group members.
If, after tomorrow's results, this B***S*** continues, I too will likely earn at least my second hide. I am thoroughly sick and disgusted by zealous non-Democrats with big mouths, authoritarian tendencies and overwhelming senses of privilege and entitlement riding roughshod on DU over those of us who have actually walked the walk all our lives.

(25,111 posts)in the world. They are always on the front line for justice, peace, and rights for all, including, inequality, regulation for gun laws and others, healthcare, and the 1st Amendment, et al.
Compromise is one of the key factors in possible solutions to keep the movement going forward without jeopardizing it's core purpose of keeping the world and her people safe, healthy, and prosperous.
I only mentioned a few things that as a progressive truly believe in.
And that's why I'm with her - HRC.
Hiding written free speech because some can do so does not bode well and in my opinion hurts their candidate. It shows the lack of tolerance.

(23,698 posts)The ugliness of the opposition has been very disappointing, especially when you see it from long term members whom at one point you respected and appreciated their opinions. But the profound idolatry of Bernie Sanders and the vitriol of his supporters is truly stunning.
I am somewhat appeased knowing that much of the worse crap is coming from RW trolls and paid operatives of the Karl Rove School of Denigrating Democrats. Clean up in aisle 5 can't come soon enough.

(92,273 posts)again why should I be surprised when our current President was called a "POS", and set of other expletives, by a DUer, who essentially was given carte blanche, and then felt so inclined to post recently with similar expletives about DU, "how ashamed that poster was to have been associated with DU, and demanding that the place be closed down."
and not surprisingly, that poster did not hidden, but Nance's does.
just amazing the double standard that goes on here
