Holy Cow. I never thought that partisan could go so partisan
Within the actual Democratic Party on democratic underground.

You are kidding me ..right?
With friends like you who needs enemies? That was a cheap shot. Shame on you.
Basically, what you are doing is disruptive--driving people to a closed group, where some, not realizing where they are, will shit-stir and post insults, get banned, and then get all huffy about it.
Also, you posted your little shit stirring post in GD, not GD-P, where it belongs.
I am going to recommend to the hosts that you be blocked from this group--you don't know how to behave.

(6,133 posts)Nothing I said was extreme. It was normal.
Cha
(297,029 posts)every other supporter on this board is "partisan".
There's nothing "normal" about what you just did.

(92,114 posts)Hillary Clinton. You are calling out a special group as partisan, and supplying a link to that special group. You don't post a link to a special group, then imply that there is something wrong with them being partisan. Special groups are protected areas from that kind of snark.
Cha

(92,114 posts)I was asked to be on the jury the thread that was criticizing the group, and before I could
vote to hide it, one of the Admins correctly locked the thread.
The point, one way or another, has definitely been made
Thanks
Cha
(297,029 posts)and saying.. "holy cow.. they're so partisan in there.. What's up with that?!!!!"

Sadly, DU doesn't have a martyr icon
The site really should get one
MADem

No reason for acting like that.
MADem
(135,425 posts)You posted a thread in GD to funnel people here, so that they might comment, perhaps not realizing they were in a safe haven.
If I were an admin, I'd PPR you. That's some low conduct. Hopefully you've already been banned from here, but maybe you'd better just understand that this isn't the way to behave. I'll never trust you again.

(92,114 posts)Ned Flanders
(233 posts)so please be gentle with me.
But this whole, "only post positive things about HRC" in this group (or about Bernie Sanders in his group) thing smacks of those studies revealing how people tend to research and read about subjects with which they already agree. Resulting in them missing new information and perhaps adjusting their opinions accordingly.
But I get it, we have rules to follow and all, I guess?
Cha
(297,029 posts)They have the whole rest of the board for that.
There's no "new information" to be missed here. Thank you for respecting our Group.
MADem
(135,425 posts)It's a rather contentious place.
The safe havens are where you go to put your feet up and talk nice with people who are on your wavelength.
As it is, this is a website where a majority of the people skew outside the party norm, so as a consequence, if you're solidly in the middle of the Democratic Party in terms of your approach to politics, you're regarded by some as a "right winger" here.

MADem
(135,425 posts)locked, anyway.
It is a cheap and disruptive tactic to come in here playing the "OH I like Hillary" card, and then posting a thread in another forum sending people here with a link to complain about the post.
Talk about a sleaze move. But that is what a recently blocked poster in this thread did.
Iliyah
(25,111 posts)phantom that many middle class Americans support HRC and do and have met with her across America to discuss issues that are important to them.

(135,425 posts)They're free, and all you have to do is RSVP and get there early to be sure you'll get in. You can ask questions, too. It's a very different vibe.
Welcome to the Hillary Clinton group. Did someone named Rusty shunt you over here?
Cha
(297,029 posts)BS supporters really do need to brush up on what's gong on.. not just knee jerk "1%" ad nauseam.

(51,545 posts)It is early in the primary. She should be talking with people, not talking at them. This "listening tour" process is how she ran her successful Senate campaign.
This is how you find out what is important to people across the country, instead of preaching to them what they should think is important. That is how she found out that so many people desperately want help with drug addiction treatment for their family members.

Crowd Manipulation on Wikipedia
Crowd manipulation is the intentional use of techniques based on the principles of crowd psychology to engage, control, or influence the desires of a crowd in order to direct its behavior toward a specific action.[1] This practice is common to politics and business and can facilitate the approval or disapproval or indifference to a person, policy, or product. The ethicality of crowd manipulation is commonly questioned.
Crowd manipulation differs from propaganda although they may reinforce one another to produce a desired result. If propaganda is "the consistent, enduring effort to create or shape events to influence the relations of the public to an enterprise, idea or group",[2] crowd manipulation is the relatively brief call to action once the seeds of propaganda (i.e. more specifically "pre-propaganda"[3]) are sown and the public is organized into a crowd. The propagandist appeals to the masses, even if compartmentalized, whereas the crowd manipulator appeals to a segment of the masses assembled into a crowd in real time. In situations such as a national emergency, however, a crowd manipulator may leverage mass media to address the masses in real time as if speaking to a crowd.[4]
