Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumAsk a question in the Hillary group
no matter whether it attacks Hillary or not in their group and you can't get a straight answer.
Someone said that they ran out of ballots in Michigan and implied that it was Governor Snyder's fault - all I wanted to know is, aren't the parties responsible for their own primaries in Michigan? In Texas the parties are responsible for running their own primaries and if they were short of voting machines in Texas it would be because the Democratic party didn't ask for enough voting machines from the county. Instead of an answer they went and looked at my profile and tried to get me to comment on my posts. I told them I wasn't taking the bait.

(3,764 posts)I just asked if the Democratic Party in Michigan runs their own primary like they do in Texas. If so it would be the Democratic Party's fault for not having enough ballots, no Governor Snyder. As much as I dislike Snyder, he can't be blame if the Democrats are in charge their own primary. Instead of an answer I got asked about my Henry Kissinger remarks. Still no answer. I told them if they wanted to question my posts they should question them where I post them.

I am surprised you weren't block on the spot.

(3,764 posts)I never post there. But I do go there and read. I haven't posted anything there criticizing Hillary. Do you get anything telling you that you are blocked, or do you just try to post and you can't?

(1,573 posts)...I know because I got one on my only post in that group. All I did was ask for a link for something anti-Bernie that someone was alleging.

Are these people liberals? When did people from the Democratic party begin silencing someone when they question the support of a candidate that supports fracking? Just seems crazy to me. Anyway, after last night I hope Hillary gets shown for the fake she is. If she gets the nomination, and I'm just curious about responses from others, who wouldn't vote for her and would either abstain or just write in Sanders?

(3,764 posts)I like looking at their links and reposting them in GD-Primaries and here where they get discussed. Of course, that might get me banned but shouldn't.

(75,480 posts)or facts that are twisted. I suggest you put up a post in GDP directly asking if there is any proof Gov. Snyder was behind them running out of ballots in Michigan and see if anyone has any sources to back up that allegation.
If they are trying to imply that Hillary would have won if there were enough ballots, the math says no. Bernie was running a steady percentage above Hillary throughout the night and more ballots would have yielded the same percentage IMHO.

It's a grave-dancing echo chamber that is best avoided.

(2,872 posts)Took long enough, tbh-- I'm sorry but that maudlin-ass fit pitching that really belongs the hell on other less enlightened social networks served as my pilot light last night. Reminds me of my sociopath of an ex, in a way, you're either doing things her way, or you're a racist/sexist/misogynist/-ist of the day and deserve to be dragged through the streets.

(113,065 posts)in the primary plus the crossovers. Sanders shattered that expectation via the crossover votes. No sense in trying to find blame for something that defied expectations, especially since it worked out so well in the end.
I'm noticing a lot of posts trying to find reasons to smear Dem process as well as the Dem party. I think it stinks, especially since I think it diminishes us and our credibility, overall, when it comes time to call out REAL problems that occur.

(12,882 posts)They're just emulating their idol. No YES or NO answers - just questions in response to questions. It's a strategy - a DUMB strategy - but a strategy nonetheless.
truebluegreen
(9,033 posts)but the other day my computer shut down (power surge) and of course when it was turned back on I had "logged out" of DU. So when I clicked on the site I saw a whole buncha crap I've been "missing." I had to laugh: I clicked on one thread, in the Hillary group (unbeknownst to me) and found about 5 of my least favorite posters talking only to each other. It was pathetic, really.
