ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is not an opinion piece, it is a hit piece. The whole article is garbage, but what stands out as making this over-the-top and inappropriate is the overtone of a swiftboating campaign against the well documented civil rights record of Bernie Sanders. Reducing it to "he took pictures with MLK" and whatnot. I should add that I seriously doubt that the author of this piece is who he claims to be. Game of Thrones references? WTF? - The person who posted the article is a well known serial disruptor, who would be on a timeout right now if not for the pardon issued by the admins (see Transparency page), and who has openly admitted that she believes none of the things she posts but does so only to generate negative responses ("trolling" . Shit like this fits that pattern exactly.

Explanation: I see you alerter. This is of course an opinion piece and Bravenak states that she doesn't agree with it all. What's the problem?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The bros will hide this, but for no reason. It's an opinion piece, it makes some very good points. The poster was very clear about the fact that all might not like it. It won't last in the echo chamber, though, regardless of the changes to the "new DU."
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nothing wrong with the DU post. I didn't read the article though.
