but, you know, what does popularity matter, particularly when you are talking about electing political candidates in a democracy.

On Tue Feb 2, 2016, 07:45 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

I'm 46, female and Southern.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1118363

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

I'm one of the 5.

Calling other posters stupid is an ott personal attack and very rude. Please hide this.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Feb 2, 2016, 07:58 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I must start alerting, I seem to get called worse than that many days on DU. Grow some thicker skin alerter.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: She didn't call the alerter - oh, I'm sorry - she didn't call flaming dem stupid, she said MAYBE he/she was stupid. OTOH, claiming Reddit is full of teenage boys who don't like women is not remotely intelligent. The opposite if intelligent is . . . . fill in the blank.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The whole thread should be obliterated. Just nasty remarks all around. Ergo, since the thread stays, let this comment stay as well.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: One of the milder personal attacks I've seen but yeah
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Way to prove your superiority!
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

I'm not the one making the claim that it's young white boys.

Did you reply to the wrong person (me)?
