Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumCould we please let MadAboutHarry back in the HillaryGroup?
He/she made a post in GDP saying he/she was "a little mad" at Hillary "right now." He/she was then banned from this group. Please let him/her back in. We don't want to be the kind of Tea Party/Sanders people who have strict litmus tests for membership. We shouldn't require perfection of our members any more than we should require it of Hillary. This should be a safe place to discuss all things Hillary felt by her supporters. I don't agree with everything MadAboutHarry said, but I did take a day to sort out my thoughts after the OIG report. Bottom line for me.... so she made a couple of mistakes. So what? Who doesn't? It's bizarre that she gets scathing headlines and Trump lies and contradicts himself up the wazoo and folks just treat it as entertainment.
Let's model a more complex/understanding view of human nature. Both toward Hillary and toward MadAboutHarry. OK?

(50,956 posts)there was more in that post than just saying they were a little mad at Hillary right now. DU has become Hillary Hate central. Everywhere else on DU, people are free to push every name and nastiness about her. We really do need ONE place where we can go where we don't have to engage with that shit.

Nope!
I agree with the other poster who said it would be one thing to discuss her failings here rather than opening up yet another of the thousands of DU "trash Hillary" threads.

(4,019 posts)Not just bashing Hillary but also her supporters.

(12,448 posts)why she was banned. She HAD to know what would happen if she posted that in GDP, aka Bernie Central.
As people here have said,she can PM one of the Group Hosts.

(2,897 posts)For what it's worth, she seems to be pretty anti-Bernie/pro-Hillary from her recs.

(22,871 posts)She ( or you) need to appeal to that host as I feel uncomfortable unilaterally lifting someone else's ban.

(61,663 posts)They are volunteers with a difficult job. I appreciate what they do to create and maintain a safe space to support Hillary Clinton. She's our likely Democratic nominee.
In this case, I don't understand why the poster in question would even want to be a member of the Hillary group. And their behavior calling out our hosts in GD-P confirms my feeling that it's all about the poster, not the election.
Trump is the Republican nominee. There's an election to be won.

(4,542 posts)madaboutharry seems to have reached a peak frustration point. The post in GDP may have totally backfired on the intent with the batch of vultures and haters that politics can attract. We also don't know why the kick happened, there may be something else we don't even need to know. Really didn't want to jump in. opps
Our hosts do an excellent job IMHO. They have seen a lot and seem to have good instinct.
I trust them.

to her/him that posting their criticism for HRC in GDP wasn't the best route to take. Basically she/he stood their ground, which I give them credit for, but they didn't even acknowledge any even misstep on their part. Even whining in GDP they had been banned from the HRC Forum, opened up more attacks on our group. But they felt it opened dialogue with the Bernie supporters. So bottom line they would rather engage the BS supporters, than participate in this forum.
I'm sorry they decided to take this route, but in 2 weeks we'll all be back together again.

(2,117 posts)And I see why she was banned. She went to a known anti Hillary forum and furthered this ridiculous GOP faux scandal by not knowing her facts. What she should have done is researched it first or asked people here what the fake scandal was all about. Instead she opened the flood gates of hate toward Hillary and this group, validating a little more in their minds this whole dumb conspiracy.
I'm not mad at her, but I get why she was banned.
