Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumYou know what I'm not seeing in the Bernie group?
I'm not seeing "I'm back!" threads, or "Welcome back!" threads.
Almost like they didn't lose anyone . . .

(5,044 posts)I feel the doors were just opened and a rush of fresh, clean air just blew in. Instant change in the atmosphere. Thanks again Skinner!

(1,545 posts)Most of them seemed pretty pissed off. I can understand that, they put a lot of time and effort into getting Hillary's supporters booted.

(51,574 posts)The thought police did not win. So they're not happy.

(24,578 posts)What they are saying is it's unfair if we can't act like bullies and jerks; it's no fun if we can't be rude, crude and ott. I really can't understand people like that, and frankly I'm glad not to.

(108,036 posts)Especially a few from one who used to do drive by postings in this group. He/she would write something offensive, let it stand for several minutes hoping someone would read them then self delete.

(10,476 posts)Y'know, the ones that tried to get people to pledge support for Sanders and only Sanders in the fall, whether he was the nominee or not.

(297,323 posts)Awesome that you all got out of du jail early!
But, I was just a damn jury for a frivolous alert on Maggie.. so nothing's changed?
I was hoping there would be a new system in place that only posts against the TOS could be alerted on.
So here we go again?! it was a 5-2 Leave on Maggie but it could have gone the other way.

(5,256 posts). . . how many of these people are paid RW trolls. Their behavior is appalling. Props to Skinner for recognizing that and making sure that DU was no longer enabling it.
Chichiri
(4,667 posts)Maybe if Elad goes and looks at the IP addresses, but there are so many . . . shrug.
Just hard to believe that so many people suddenly went near-insane. I mean, some of them did, with long tenures here, but others without the pedigree? I smell dirty tricks. The Goopers badly, badly wanted Bernie. Badly.

(2,047 posts)Some have burned so many mental calories creating a fictional demon of Hillary. Now the whole effort is collapsing. Tough stuff.
Fla Dem
(23,692 posts)People actively advocating for others to move to that jack the radical site, except no one likes the format. Sad little people because their daddy told them to play nice with everyone and stop being bullies.

(1,630 posts)You would think that the disparity between the number of HRC vs Sander's members released from DU jail would cause them to feel some shame for gaming the system and abusing innocent people but they don't.
Every member who raised objections to Skinner's rules for reasonable discourse was a Bernie supporter. One even went so far as to ask for a time extension to continue lobbing personal attacks because Sanders has not yet suspended his campaign. It appears some people become addicted to the adrenaline rush of power tripping and hate. Looks like some are going through withdrawal right now.
Lil Missy
(17,865 posts)And I saw where the lifting of the 5 hide timeout is a conspiracy to pardon Hillary supporters. These people are embarrassing.
KittyWampus
(55,894 posts)They deserve a space to let loose and enthuse freely over their candidate etc.
But in this particular instance, the fact there's not a whole lot of "welcome backs" does indicate something.
Walk away
(9,494 posts)My last two hides were for saying that Bernie looked tired out and that I doubted that he would make it through the entire primary. Not only did they alert me on them but they were unanimously hidden. And both posts were in the middle of Hillary Group threads.
I have never alerted on anyone in the ten years I have been here. I have never hidden a thread. I don't need to get revenge by playing silly games with losers. My fun will come the day that Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. I can hardly wait!
