I scrubbed this one up, thanks for the tip:

When you give up your values for the sake of winning, when you will cheer for a color rather than an idea, it gets to a point where everyone has lost their way. Republicans have been seeping into the democratic party for decades now. The 3rd way is the brine in the water table that has been slowly poisoning the party. You can taste the irony...now we find value-republicans (real republicans actually have respectable values...not mine, but understandable) wearing democratic jerseys, projecting baseless fantasy upon value-democrats (hanging by their fingernails onto the edge of their party), and these DINOs accuse the value-democrats of being chaos-republican agents (the raw sewage that has been seeping into the former republic party) sent to sabotage the coronation. who have been, in turn, seeping raw sewage into the opposition.

See? That is what happens when you forsake your values for winning...beyond hypocrisy to madness.

That group is pure muck and if you accidentally stepped into it like most of us who have been banned, it helps to figuratively bleach away the stink.

Bernie supporters are very loyal and loving.

I have seen so many videos of people of all colors showing

their support and love for Bernie.

I didn't even realize I was posting in the Group that shall not be named.
I simply responded to an absurd post on the Greatest Page.

I even had a brief encounter on the Sanders group but was not banned. Now that the Primary is coming up in my State Sanders will get my vote. Although DU had little to shape my final opinion it is not wise to antagonize potential votes especially when they have not made up their minds. At this point I am honored being banned from the Hillary group. I know several fence sitters who will join me.

I tend to lean on them as I really don't trust any politician. In the end I will always vote for what pushes my values foward, not my candidate. That's what I like about the B. He tells me that he recognises his servant role. A humble man in politics is a rare bird indeed.
