Hillary Clinton

... has anyone seen them? I don't understand why they've fallen off the face of the (digital) earth. I hope everything's okay with them.
I know that people have actual lives OUTSIDE of cyberspace, and I also know that people's interests will ebb and flow, or wax and wane ... so it's probably nothing for me to be concerned about.
Still, I miss their voices, insights and perspectives, and I hope they check-in to say hello and let us know that everything's okay.

The majority gave them 2 hides in 24 hours.. that was their big sin.

(3,825 posts)We have real Democrats being threatened verbally and via the internet with bodily harm by Bernie Sanders supporters and it continues on a daily basis here on DU and I see the same perps doing it non stop. This shit has to stop soon. I'm glad that at least Harry Reid and President Obama stepped up to the plate today and made their intentions very clear. Other websites have shut this shit down, but here we are still dealing with it. Sad statement about the DU that I thought I knew.

But, for our buddies here it's been weeks and some almost 2 months.. and nothing. No response when they've contacted the Admin
It's weird... like the Twilight Zone.

(5,649 posts)2-3 days later. You can't exactly keep acting like they do and expect that there are no consequences.
As for Bernie supporters, two of them got PPR'd, which is a forever FFR, so I can't see how you feel that it's only 2-3 days. They aren't on FFR because they are Hilary supporters... they are on FFR because they can't play nice.

(23,875 posts)were pretty innocuous posts. Granted a few may have been OTT, but to me it looks like a focused effort to eliminate the more outspoken HRC supporters.

(298,021 posts)who are on permanent FFR.. and theirs weren't against TOS.. it was because they are outspoken Hillary supporters.
The Jury System is FUBARED but that's no reason to punish Hillary Supporters because they got 2 hides in 24 hours. Take them off FFR or tell them why you're not.
Don't leave them in Limbo where they can't even PM their friends.. that's worse than the 3 months forced time outs Rule.. when the alert stalkers censored them, and got them 5 hides.. and NOT for posting against TOS. At least they knew when they were coming back.
If you look @ the BS fans' hides.. theirs are for being against TOS.
Why all the mystery where we have to guess what's going on?.. And, it wasn't because they weren't "playing nice". you have no idea what you're talking about.
kdmorris
(5,649 posts)I guess you've done some sort of analysis on all of the Bernie supporters vs the Hilary supporters?
I believe that you are suffering from what is called confirmation bias. Since they are YOUR friends and they support the same candidate that you do... it's unfair. However, the "others" that are NOT your friends are bad, horrible people that deserve it.
Hides are Community Standards hides. I agree that the jury system is FUBARED, but I don't agree that it only affects YOUR side.
I know of one Bernie supporter who has been on FFR for 5 days now. They don't have enough hides to have their transparency page visible like all these that are on extended FFR. His 2 hides were not even remotely against the TOS...
But hey, live in your bubble and refuse to see the truth... go for it.
It is people like you that make it very difficult to take people seriously sometimes...
Cha
(298,021 posts)say they need to play nice. Or insult us when it is you who don't have a clue what you're talking about.
I didn't say it only affects our side.. I'm talking about who I know have been on FFR for weeks.. some close to 2 months now.
You go live in your bubble.. we're into reality here.

(298,021 posts)cosmicone, and others have been FFR(Flagged For Review) for weeks, some over a month. They're in DU Limbo. And, I can't understand why Skinner doesn't let them back in?!
I've seen him let many members off FFR and but not my friends and I wonder what's up with that.. it's not fair.
They have been censored and silenced by the majority.. but why isn't Skinner coming to the aid of his members who have done nothing wrong but they do support Hillary.
I miss them, too.. Thank you so much for bringing this to light!

(27,821 posts)... to know that some DUers - many of them long time star members who have contributed to this site for years - are in "flagged for review" limbo, and are no longer able to post here. You can imagine how frustrating it is for them to see so many newbies, who post nothing but RW talking points and anti-Democrat rhetoric, to have free rein here while they have been relegated to persona non grata status.
But all is well - they post elsewhere, where actual Democrats gather for intelligent discussion rather than demeaning the party that DU alleges to support.

(10,184 posts)The site is run exactly as the site owner wants it run. Most revenue come from the Bernouts not the Clinton supporters. It's a simple business decision. He ran off all the Clinton supporters eight years ago and he's doing it again. He may change his approach after the convention but why would anyone who supports Hillary want to stay? I have been a member since 2001 and took a long break after 2008. Now I post from time to time but I don't even have DU book marked anymore. I really don't care what Skinner does with his site after the convention.

(51,083 posts)dominated by people who are STILL talking about how BS is going to win, rah rah rah, you know you are dealing with a lot of fringe lunatics who are dancing around in a world of their own.
So many of the new people coming in are clearly here just to disrupt the Democratic effort, and the reasonable long-time posters are out-shouted by a handful of deranged idiots who do nothing but smear the Democratic candidate.
There is no real news here any more. The only thing that was left was the cool interest stories, but a member of the other site is posting more of that than anyone here.
I don't feel good will towards this place. I only come to see the HC people who don't post at the other site.

Cha
(298,021 posts)Skinner is the one who isn't letting them get off FFR for some reason.. they seems very weird to me.. when he lets everyone else off of FFR.. why not our friends whom we've come to know and love over the years?

Fla Dem
(23,875 posts)They all went down in a space of a month. They all had 10 or more hides which I would think got them their FFR. But looking at their transparency pages, it's clear there was a concerted effort to "alert target" them.
MaggieD got 3 hides between 3/19-3/21
Bravenak got 3 hides on 4/4
cosmicone got 7 hides between 4/1-4/7
KMOD got 3 hides on 4/7
DanTex got 6 hides between 4/1-4/14
geek tragedy got 9 hides between 3/18-4/21
The long knives were out.
MaggieD been on the longest, it will be 2 months by the end of next week. Hope they start coming off soon.

Interesting too that all those undeclared time-outs are for Hillary supporters.
And interesting that the most egregious BS posters (example: the one who unleashed his sick and violent bestiality fantasies on another poster) are still roaming around.

(298,021 posts)I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around it.
I don't know if there are any BS fans FFR as long as Hillary supporters.. I only know about our buddies.. who have done nothing wrong but get 2 hides in 24 hours by the alert squad.. and yeah.. the one who wrote the violent bestiality fantasies is still roaming the forums.

(9,071 posts)At this point, we all know that GDP is practically a Sander's asylum. I go there on rare occasions and spend more time away from DU, so I can sympathize with serious progressives who try to discuss a Democratic agenda and Democratic candidates.
Hillary has won the primary, and I'm thrilled. She will make a great President. Silencing Hillary supporters - and some of the best posters of Democratic thinking - is not a good thing.
