Got blocked from the Bernie forum

Didn't even realize I was in there tbh. Thought it was GDP. Oh well. This site needs to do a better job of marking these forums when they appear in latest threads, or better yet, don't allow political group posts to appear in latest threads to begin with. This is proof positive that it is not only the Hillary group that blocks people.

There'd be a contest to see just how short of a post someone would have to send to get blocked from the BS group. I think you could do it in three words.

You commited the cardinal sin of pointing out that BS lost.

No wonder you were banned.




Smirking here.

He made the especial sin of pointing out that building a whole campaign designed to appeal only to 27-year-old Caucasians whose theme song is "What Do You Do With a BA in English?" is not a winning strategy.

She has a B.A. In English, and she thinks she should be making a ton of money in her first job, with no experience.

The comments are mostly hilarious. And the ones who think entry level customer service jobs should pay better should take a look at the woman's facebook page. She's living large for someone who claims she can't afford food.

There are 3 young women in a 2 bedroom apartment nextdoor to me who are working hard and still managing to have inexpensive fun in this great city. They told me that they dated Bernie but plan to marry Hillary.

I believe "you can't always get what you want" applies here, and especially the next line, "but if you try, sometimes you might just get what you need."

seems to be a sensitive group, there. I didn't think what you posted was too bad, either. Lately, this is about the only group I can view on DU. And I'm not anti-Bernie, I just prefer Hillary.

I posted at GD not knowing I was in Bernie Land. I got a reply and looked to answer and bam, I was blocked.

He sure wanted the DU to be totally segregated. Shows you how important a healthy DU with a good and fair discussion is to the race. I could not alert on it because it was in the Bernie group and I was blocked.
