No actual contribution. Just fanning flames.

Cosmicone...plz go.

What is wrong with you? You have somehow made it okay in your brain because it's the Internet and you don't have to look anyone in the eyes when you're being an asshole.

Check your shit, dude. That kind of belief just straight up makes you a shitty human.

your boat.

Thank you for proving my point about trying to illicit negative responses.

Your boat.

Send the admins an email about this posters consistant behavior. Ignoring helps no one. Contacting the admins helps everyone.

That's why I've sent an email to the admins. Something I've never done in my 12 years here.

I ask that other posters send the admins a note about cosmicone if you too notice that he is generally being consistantly rude to fellow duers.

Admins about this poster.

Look how many hidden posts they have in the recent past. Most definitely a pattern emerging with this poster.

Well perhaps it's time for another break.

You can have more than 5 hides (as long as you don't receive them very quickly) and continue posting. The reason is that apparently Bernie supporter-stacked juries were being too harsh and the outcomes unfair.

But this poster is just spreading hate.

and encourage posters he's rude to to do the same.

If he can't control himself then we'll just have to help him with that control.

after tonight. Not by as much as his usual slips on voting days, but he's also now has fewer chances left to make it up.

Just in case distracting from that was what this was about.

Trying to get posters banned is bad form, imho.

That his behavior is inappropriate and that he needs to cool his jets. It's always met with troll tactics. So...seeing as he cant control his own behavior after having been asked by multiple posters...and he has been banned for this behavior before...the only recourse we have is to ask for his tombstoning...whether that be forever or a few weeks.

When a child refuses to play well with others, there has to be consequences...lest the grow up to be adults like cosmicone.

I'll tell you this...in 12 years I've never requested a ban for a poster. Cosmicone is the first.

It would be nice if he toned it down a bit...A little good natured ribbing is okay. However even in in sports you can get penalized for unnecessary celebrations, i.e. taunting...

It's a hard line to define though.

Including you, that can control themselves enough to not alienate a huge swath of DUers. Apparently control is something cosmicone does not possess. And that's what tombstoning is for...for those adults that have never developed self control.

I thank you for your reply, my Clinton supporting DU friend.

There are a lot of Sanders supporters on this board who would demur from your assessment that I haven't "alienated a large swath of DUers", but I genuinely appreciate your kind words.


BTW, the photo of the physically challenged man phone banking for Bernie was touching. I wish i could hug him and flip a magic switch that made him physically whole.

...where he's rude and mean to other posters. I ask that you...along with messages from several others...send the admins a message about cosmicone. Enough is enough.

I don't mind opposing opinions but this just hurts my eyes with the animated gifs at the bottom. Ignore.

And then there's WA on Saturday, which has more delegates than AZ but will probably vote like ID.

It will stay at about 58%.

Mathematically it must come down a tiny bit from 57.9%, but it will probably end up at 57.8% or so. The big hit comes this weekend.

. . . it drops to 58.1%.

Though in the end this looks like basically a wash, percentage-wise.

Yesterday Bernie needed 1,171 of 2,020 delegates, or 57.97%. (Which rounds to 58.0%, not 57.9% as I indicated earlier, mea culpa.)

As of right now with the count 45 to 34 in favor of Hillary, he needs 1,137 of 1,941 delegates, or 58.57%.

If Bernie ends up getting 74 delegates to Hillary's 57, as the demographics predict, he'll need 1,097 out of 1,889 delegates, or 58.07%. A tenth of a percent increase from yesterday

That he's a racist skinhead berniebro.
I mean why not finish the day that way. Today we have had Sanders attacked as:
A loser
Ageism
The worst Democrat to run in history
Antisemitism by calling a Jewish man a Nazi like Hitler.

Hillary supporters on this site make me sick...if Hillary supporters on this site are representative of their candidate than our Party is truly facing its last days.

you're angry. The rest is nonsense, but that is never to be mentioned.

Come on. From the mid 70s into the 80s, which would be his terms, every year brings significant physical decline, and too often mental. It's like childhood in reverse.

This factor should be examined, and no doubt is being examined. Bernie might well be doing better if he had indicated a desirable vice president early on.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

For months, Hillary supporters were alert stalked and sent on time outs with bogus hides.
For months, Hillary was smeared and tarnished on a democratic board with RW attacks and her supporters called oligarchs, dumb, in "stockholm syndrome" and other choice memes.
If Bernie supporters had shown respect, there would be far less schadenfreude today and henceforth.

Bernie supporters are reaping what they sowed.

So, as a Democrat, you are happy with and it's justified to attack another Democratic candidate, another human being, of Jewish heritage, who had family members murdered in concentration camps, using antisemitic and holocaust-denial websites and their conspiracy theories and stories about people calling him a Nazi and comparing him to Hitler?
It's ok to imply one of his son's a bastard?

Mocking and ridiculing his age?

These things didn't happen somewhere else, they happened here on this site.

So all these things instantly became "ok" because a couple, very few, said something wrong themselves (FYI, disagreeing with your candidate on policy does not count, something I will never stop doing)? Is that that the new Democratic Party 's motto "eye for an eye" or "everything is fair game, fuck values and ethics"?

I have never seen any Hillary supporter being anti-semitic -- that was just drama raised by some on your side without merit. I have never seen any Hillary supporter disparaging Bernie.

However, I have seen posts hidden when they truthfully stated Jane Sanders' commission appointments after Bernie campaigned for Shumlin, her golden parachute, her bank fraud etc.

First off, I am insulted that you would be so dismissive of my concerns and call me a defacto liar to boot.
As recently as yesterday ( Google my username and yesterday's date) It also happened in December. I know because I left for the month of December in protest because of it. Google my username during the early part of December or late November if you want to see it yourself.

Your harping on Jane Sanders in very reminiscent of teapublicans screaming about the Whitewater land deal. Now if you are game to open that old wound and all the Clinton associates that went to jail while the Clintons stayed mysteriously insulted from harm.

Even a Bernie supporter can appreciate your comment since you have something to offer.

Much better than those that offer nothing.

To construct an extreme example, suppose that out of 100 delegates, A has taken 40 and b has taken 0. B now needs 50 out of the 60 remaining delegates. Then if A wins 4 and B wins 6 then we're left with B needing 44 out of the 50 remaining delegates, and 44/50 > 50/60.

The correct result is that if, say, Sanders needs 58% of the remaining votes and Clinton needs 42%, then in any contest where Sanders picks up more than 58% of the seats available the percentage of the remaining votes he needs will fall, and in any contest where he picks up less than that it will rise, even if he beat the 50% mark.

Thanks, and sorry.

And hey, how about paying over double in health care because insurance companies are in bed with our health care?

I'm voting against Hillary Clinton because I'm not pro any of that and now I'm convinced I will be leaving this site by November if not sooner because I do not believe I can vote for that woman who stands for all I am against.

I'll be voting liberal and probably be an independent when this is through.

I don't know what I'm doing here. I should leave. Bye. Don't know why I checked in.

Biggest mistake of my life. And I don't even live in a swing state.
