Can you say "touchy", boys and girls?

I was banned from the HRC group for politely pointing out an actually factual fact. I'd stay they are getting pretty touchy about the nasty intrusion of reality into their fantasy land.

O.K., maybe I was a little sarcastic, but I still only stated truth.

Why are they so afraid of Bernie that they have to suppress truth when it contradicts their chosen fantasy?

I don't know. The HRC group wasn't so bad until this year, but they became insufferable this summer. If Bernie gets the nod I fully expect the majority of them to leave DU in a huff.

GD-Pee is the appropriate forum for debating the differences between the candidates.

I would say more like scared.. They are continually grasping at straws claiming huge leads in polls that are actually within the margins for error

I ever commented there at all. I may have said I like Bernie and that did it. I didn't really even want to be a member of the group. But I was banned!!

No explanation or link to the offending post. William(3digits) was the sender. The same guy who started a site for the sole purpose of shitting on DU's Sanders supporters.

I must say, I was only surprised by one poster there. That one made me sad.


Best thing we can do is keep on fighting for our rights. Bernie Sanders cares about all us and our rights.

Go Bernie and go us.

Ha Ha Ha.

Just remember - truth, no matter how well documented, is too scary to deal with for some.

yeah, you know the ones.

Why? It is the same voices, pushing the same thing. People wrapped up in a candidate and don't care about anything except Scotus.

Well, scotus will have to be approved by congress. Who will bring in more downline progressives and not blue dogs?

I don't think h will change the world enough to impact it in a possitive way. Too incrimental at a time when we are way past baby step changes.

I have zero interest in even looking at that group or dealing with people who are regressive IMHO.
Absolutely none and their political ideology is basically one of a Republican in my eyes. Cut of the same mold. Why choose failure when success is an option? Everything Hillary stands for is like doing a half assed job. It's a 50% effort when the country NEEDS 100%.
