Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumSkinner: When the voting is over the primary is over on DU.
My opinion is that Donald Trump represents an unprecedented threat to this country, and I have no interest in providing a platform for people to act like a Trump presidency isn't such a big deal. I have permitted it during primary season because many people seem determined to pretend we live in a fantasyland where Republicans don't exist -- but once the primary is over reality sets in and we can no longer afford to ignore our Republican opponent.

Has this been discussed already and I missed it? If so I apologize for posting.. I couldn't find anything, but then I didn't get any sleep last night.
Good News! Thanks Skinner~

I will write it again . . . Even more dangerous than Trump are the people who support him. They are everything that is wrong with America.

His supporters, however, actually *believe* it all. Every word.

Koinos
(2,792 posts)Sanders' campaign is playing with fire and gasoline when it acts as if Trump is not such a bad guy or he is telling the truth when he lies about Clinton.
And if Jeff Weaver and Cornel West want to cozy up with Trump by calling him "honest" or "brother" or whatever, I have nothing but contempt for them.
Trump is nothing but a reincarnation of Mussolini, a despotic and know-nothing ego without a brain. The rest of the world cringes at the insane idea of a Trump presidency in the most powerful nation on earth.
His followers are like rabid dogs, out of control and full of hate. To my mind, beings that lack humanity to that extent do not even belong to the same species as the rest of us. Homo sapiens? You've got to be kidding me. They aren't even homo erectus.

(10,014 posts)"Is it get-behind-the-nominee or hit the road, or will some tolerance toward non-supporting the Dem nominee be exercised, assuming the member is not supporting Trump and otherwise behaves?"
Skinner has allowed the Hillary-hate on the site and unless he does what he said he will do, there is no DU since it has become anti-DU. The enforcement needs to happen in every forum the trolls have been posting in, not just GD-P.

(25,505 posts)"As long as I don't call her a murderer anymore, can I still bash, er, 'non-support' Clinton?"
yallerdawg
(16,104 posts)Sounds like someone has had about enough of this!
"To be honest, one of the goals of giving civility enforcement over to members (via the jury system) was so that I could share my opinions and it wouldn't matter. One of the biggest disappointments for me is that people still point the finger at me and call me biased and hold me responsible for what juries do anyway.

Most of these Hillary Haters and fringy extremists don't understand that in much of this country "I'm a Democrat" is fightin' words. Unless discord was what they were intending to sow.
We have a whole 'nother outlook on 'Democratic underground' - try living it!

The majority have still ruled the juries.. coming into our Group and hiding our Posts just because they can. I want that to stop.
NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)... if you actually look at the actual ratio of the BS and HRC supporters (85% to 15%), it's clear that THEY block more in the BS group.
Yes, the HRC group has more BSers blocked ... but that's because there are MORE BSers. (Duh!)
But, comparing the actual numbers we've blocked with the actual numbers THEY have blocked, it doesn't come close to their 85% population.
Cha
(297,890 posts)and you know once they're in the door they're going to disrupt.. that's what they do.

(42,862 posts)... is how they gripe and complain, moan and groan, hoot and howl, whine and cry about how unfairly we treat them, but just a few minutes later, they're in their own group BRAGGING about what an "honor" it is to be banned from the HRC group.
Well? Which is it? An honor, or an insult?

(17,865 posts)And unfortunately it is true that Skinner gets blamed for bias, even though he has bent over backwards to allow the ridiculous fantasies of a Bernie win and the Indictment Fairy swooping in to disqualify HRC.
We are all entitled to express our preference for the Democratic Nominee, yet the Hillary supporters were immediately attacked for supporting her. We've been told we are not Democrats, we are instead "low-information" voters. (Isn't THAT rich, coming from BSers!), HRC's record has been distorted beyond recognition, and she has been demonized for everything but how she parts her hair. The most qualified candidate in my long lifetime trashed over and over again on a DEMOCRATIC site, by supporters of Bernie the NON-Democrat.
And the Sanders-stacked juries - OY VEY!! GLARING partisan bias! Yet the same rules don't apply to them.
I'll be so glad when this site is no longer run by the (sore) losers.

(587 posts)I don't recall the events on DU surrounding the 2008 election/primaries.
What is "the purge"? Is it just that people will leave because they are no longer allowed to bash Clinton as they do now?
Or does it mean that the administrators will look back on previous posts and ban people who were hyper critical of Clinton?
Or is it just more like "from this date on, cut the crap and get with the program or else", and people can't help themselves breaking the rule and get booted?
