On her capital gains proposal (more benefits to the wealthy) and her compromising promises (more of the same). Factual. They didn't even give me a warning. I went ahead and repeated the exact quote in GD P. I won't be silenced. Their echo chamber be damned.

That's the sad shape we're in. We're witnissing idiocracy coming to fruition on the left side as well.

(50,130 posts)....out to GDP -- because I was summarily banned by their group without knowing I was posting in it.
And then they jumped all over me for asking the question in GDP. They are a crabby bunch.

(2,346 posts)As I was posting directly from the greatest page and I don't believe the group is immediately seen there. Tricky.

(6,440 posts)I still see their posts on the front page, and I trashed that group ages ago. I think it's been a long time since I have posted there by mistake, though many's the time that I've almost posted, thought the entire thread (as opposed to just one or two posts) was unusually sycophantic towards HRH and then taken a look at the top to see the words "Hillary Clinton (Group)" there.

(2,760 posts)I got blocked on my first post, a very innocuous one ages ago, so even if I pick up a thread in GD-P by accident, I get told quickly I can't post. That way I don't have to trash them. They already trashed me.

Welcome to the club. Consider your banning a badge of honor.

(17,320 posts)as this year's "Blocking by the Clinton Group". They create post after post saying all sorts of violent and destructive statements while everyone else is helpless to enter any contrary ideas. I hope that Skinner will realize this in time to save DU.
I might get "tomb stoned" for posting this. But, if that happens, let me say, I've enjoyed the years of communicating you so many fellow Americans about our political situation. Best of luck to America and the DU.

Thanks for the update.

(12,471 posts)They are undemocratic from the start, and willing to block anyone who is not in lock step with their views.
I like the name that someone here started for them: Camp Weathervane.

Ooops, no - my mistake. That was a post from one of the hosts of the hillary group.

(2,346 posts)Shifting capital gains to long term investments...this CPA has been down this road. This equates to tax reform which equates to furthering our already too lenient tax code that benefits the wealthy. Who else can afford long term investments? And the good old "offer to compromise"? More of the same.
I just don't see how that results in banning on a democratic discussion board. No warning. Nothing. And I am a Bernie supporter that has proclaimed my willingness to cote Clinton in GE. I can see now how little that is appreciated. They want blind loyalty no question of "authority" or bang you're out.
