128. Supporting Hillary isn't "unthinking." It is quite deliberate. We have a choice: Hillary or Donald

We support Hillary.

We get that you don't, but that discussion is LONG over and no one gives a shit about the fact that you didn't get what you wanted. That kind of thing happens when you live in a democracy. It isn't about you.

If you need to bash Hillary or bemoan the fact that you didn't get your way, you can do that at other sites.

Ditto here. JonathanRackham Aug 2016 #1
Have an ice cream cone-or whatever suits your fancy. riversedge Aug 2016 #2
I was also Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #3
Understood you have no wish to post there. That is okay. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #148
Unity and yet you still post snarky comments about the Bernie group. Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #150
Thanks, George II! SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #4
Oh, I'm unblocked from the Bernie group? Whoopee. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #12
I've been unblocked from the Sanders group too — meh. brush Aug 2016 #76
same reason RazBerryBeret Aug 2016 #83
Identical thing happened with me DFW Aug 2016 #97
Same here. I wasn't nasty or combative that I can recall. Nailzberg Aug 2016 #99
I haven't been unblocked from the Sanders group, and all I did was MADem Aug 2016 #95
I'm not unblocked either. greatauntoftriplets Aug 2016 #114
I'm in good company, then! nt MADem Aug 2016 #118
Well then you are with me. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #130
I just got a memo! I'm back in the club, apparently! MADem Aug 2016 #142
50 of us still sitting there. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #144
And those Hill blocks, a lot of 'em were carry-overs from 2008. MADem Aug 2016 #145
Bogus accusations, yes MADem. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #146
Why are you complaining so loud? Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #151

LOL SMC22307 Aug 2016 #143
We got us some.... TheCowsCameHome Aug 2016 #10
I got a message too. My first reaction was, is there still a Hillary group? cheapdate Aug 2016 #11
Well, I for one appreciated the gesture. nt SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #13
Not sure what the gesture signifies. cheapdate Aug 2016 #27
I see what you're saying. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #29
I believe it is a general amnesty. I was unlocked from the Bernie group. Fla Dem Aug 2016 #31
I don't believe that is the case. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #34
:-) NurseJackie Aug 2016 #45
I hadn't liked you previously either, but in this case, SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #47
You are correct. The Hillary Group cleared all banned posters. Fla Dem Aug 2016 #65
Doesn't surprise me. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #67
they can ban me again Skittles Aug 2016 #72
It was about Unity. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #132
Huh? You don't say? cheapdate Aug 2016 #140
Hadn't realized I was blocked until I got the messageI was unblocked. redwitch Aug 2016 #14
Same here! Like winning a raffle I hadn't entered. Eleanors38 Aug 2016 #16
they blocked anyone who wasn't swooning Skittles Aug 2016 #19
Same with the Sanders Group, from which I was just unblocked. Nice gesture. Metric System Aug 2016 #26
I had them both trashed awoke_in_2003 Aug 2016 #48
Well, I didn't know why but was pleased enough Hortensis Aug 2016 #17
I had been blocked from it - and I was a supporter of Bernie's! Chemisse Aug 2016 #61
and I was a supporter of Hillary and was blocked from the Bernie group for suggesting whoever still_one Aug 2016 #82
Oh, it's not quite everyone? Hortensis Aug 2016 #106
I had assumed everyone was unblocked en mass. Chemisse Aug 2016 #110
I realize that Incidentally I am not bothered by it, every group can determine who they want or still_one Aug 2016 #111
You're right. Chemisse Aug 2016 #113
I just noticed this morning that I have been unblocked from the Bernie group. I appreciate the still_one Aug 2016 #122
I wasn't unblocked. greatauntoftriplets Aug 2016 #112
How naughty! LOL. Chemisse Aug 2016 #115
Time will tell. greatauntoftriplets Aug 2016 #117
The Hillary Group unblocked en mass. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #133
I laughed when I saw that Skittles Aug 2016 #18
Hehe! Hilarious. kysrsoze Aug 2016 #21
the person who blocked me, on Ignore forever Skittles Aug 2016 #22
Don't you mean Hillarious? SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #37
OMG. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #30
I thought it was a pretty nice gesture, Skittles. Sorry you don't. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #134
Whatever you do, don't say anything even slightly critical of her. kysrsoze Aug 2016 #20
agreed Skittles Aug 2016 #23
If I may ask, was it in the group or out? SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #41
half the time, people did not even know Skittles Aug 2016 #58
Oh, agree. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #64
I'm sure we all want to beat Trump Skittles Aug 2016 #70
We may well be talking about different people, SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #71
The Sanders group still hasn't unblocked me. Which is fine by me. Squinch Aug 2016 #24
Ditto. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #32
I'm simply beside myself with joy. kiva Aug 2016 #25
Is this parole or a pardon? JonathanRackham Aug 2016 #28
I was unblocked from the Sanders group-I was one of the first ten to be blocked redstateblues Aug 2016 #36
AMEN! SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #38
unblocked enid602 Aug 2016 #39
I had never intended to post in the Hillary group in the first place. Probably would have never brewens Aug 2016 #43
The Bernie group did the same. cwydro Aug 2016 #40
Well, they're in the process, not finished yet. (I guess it's a one-by-one tedious thing.) NurseJackie Aug 2016 #42
Yes, I got my "notice" today. cwydro Aug 2016 #44
I trashed the Tiger Beat groups Skittles Aug 2016 #141
I didn't trash them, but I read them occasionally for entertainment value lol. cwydro Aug 2016 #153
I wonder what the "process" is. joshcryer Aug 2016 #156
If you look at the remaining names, it's pretty clear what's going on. :-P NurseJackie Aug 2016 #159
It's a nice list of the best long time, amiable, good DUers. joshcryer Aug 2016 #161
It's kinda cool! Like a "JOB WELL DONE" acknowledgement! NurseJackie Aug 2016 #162
Especially given the JPR hate site. joshcryer Aug 2016 #163
Yeah, really? SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #46
Coincidence probably. cwydro Aug 2016 #49
Well, it's a nice gesture anyway, SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #66
No, I would say selective. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #135
That is not accurate. Here is the message I get still_one Aug 2016 #84
"don't know what to do!" - uh, here's a thought: Support her? UTUSN Aug 2016 #50
My ears are burning ;) unblock Aug 2016 #51
I think it was a nice gesture. KMOD Aug 2016 #53
Some of the responses in this thread, sadly, show that some have not moved past. cwydro Aug 2016 #57
I'm willing to give all a chance to get over KMOD Aug 2016 #62
I just looked at the list of posters the Bernie Sanders group KMOD Aug 2016 #68
From what I understand, there is going to be a general amnesty. cwydro Aug 2016 #125
See my post above, cwydro. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #136
Why do we need a Hillary group? She's the nominee. We support her. End of story. n/t Binkie The Clown Aug 2016 #55
There are a lot of different groups on DU. KMOD Aug 2016 #63
Good, that is nice. So I was thinking maybe there was a similar reciprocation going on with still_one Aug 2016 #56
I was unblocked from there earlier. cwydro Aug 2016 #59
................................................... still_one Aug 2016 #60
Just curious - in or out of the group? SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #69
I am blocked from the Bernie group, but it is their group and their decision. I just thought from still_one Aug 2016 #75

you have a point still_one Aug 2016 #102
That's what I thought too, SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #123
I just checked, and I am now unblocked from the Bernie group. So here's hoping that more meaningful still_one Aug 2016 #124
I got blocked from the Bernie group for posting an article about Bernie endorsing Hillary. Cali_Democrat Aug 2016 #100

The Bernie group hasn't unblocked me. Also, when you use terms such as "Saint Hillary", what still_one Aug 2016 #77
What it conveys is the unthinking SheilaT Aug 2016 #78
Hillary is not the lesser of two evils. still_one Aug 2016 #80
Are you suggesting she is the greater of two evils? SheilaT Aug 2016 #85
No, you did, and you know it. Perhaps you should read what you wrote still_one Aug 2016 #88
The post is reality Mojorabbit Aug 2016 #154
I don't think DU is a good fit for you. KMOD Aug 2016 #94
Dangerous? KMOD Aug 2016 #90
Supporting Hillary isn't "unthinking." It is quite deliberate. We have a choice: Hillary or Donald Squinch Aug 2016 #128
Of course the flaws can be acknowledged here. joshcryer Aug 2016 #157
Saint Hillary! KMOD Aug 2016 #87
FFS is right. The subthread gets better still_one Aug 2016 #89
Thoughts like that are just as dangerous as tRump. KMOD Aug 2016 #91
I guess it is tough to accept for such an unpopular candidate she got more than 4 million votes still_one Aug 2016 #93
Don't plan on going back anyway MichMan Aug 2016 #74
I feel the same about my banning from the BS group. I was banned from the BS group for Squinch Aug 2016 #129
Me too. I will go make peace. wisteria Aug 2016 #79
