Polite, friendly discussion is not allowed in the Hillary Clinton group

[jg10003]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by cyberswede (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

I have just been blocked from the Hillary Clinton group for the following post regarding the Wyoming primary:

can we all agree that when...

A candidate wins by 10% he/she should win a majority of delegates. Can we also agree that the system is seriously flawed and needs major reforms.

I felt this was a reasonable topic for discussion presented in a respectful, polite, and non-confrontational way. The Hillary Clinton group obliviously feels otherwise.

1. You don't seem to be a Hillary supporter, so why are you posting there?

[jg10003]

10. I was responding to a well written post explaining why there was an even split...

in the delegates despite Bernie winning by 10%.

14. You probably should have read the group rules that say "supporters only."

[SFnomad]

2. Reality isn't allowed in the Bernie Sanders group n/t

[pinebox]

11. Which reality is that?

[SFnomad]

16. The reality that contains facts.

A poster lied about Sander's win percentage in a group of states ... I correct that poster with facts ... it got the post hidden and me banned.

At the time, I didn't know about "protected" groups and how their fee fees got so easily hurt.

18. Maybe you should PM the host?

[SFnomad]

22. It don't matter to me ... I've decided to stay away from the protected groups for the most part

I have learned that it's mostly an echo chamber in those places.

3. welcome to the list. I am number 352, there are way over 800;) again, welcome

4. They're all

ENTITLED they can't relate to the 99%, like their flawed leader.

5. If you want to reenter the Borg Cube, you will have to be reassimilated. I am #4.

6. This is the correct forum for discussing the primaries. The groups are

for candidate supporters.

7. Sounds reasonable for discussion.

I think my replies at HRC group were reasonable, too, but I got blocked last fall. People are being way too precious for political primary season, imo.

Last week someone in Sanders group blocked me because I wouldn't agree that something was true when it was demonstrably false - same thing that got me banned from HRC group last fall.

IMO - If you are too precious for common primary head butting whereas basic facts unsettle you, then you are too precious to hold power over the groups.

8. I thought Skinner's comment in your previous thread was Hillarious

Polite, friendly meta-discussion and primary discussion not allowed in the GD forum.

Locking.

I like his new avatar better than his previous one, too

9. They don't like facts

Hillary Coattails can't do anything wrong.

12. It's not for discussion. It's for worship.

Frankly, I think all secret society forums are kind of chickenshit. I mean, either you'd like to discuss your views or you don't. If you don't, we shouldn't, as a general public, be subjected to your unvetted bullshit in areas like "Latest Threads".

13. You get kicked from the Bernie group if you are a Hillary supporter OUTSIDE the Bernie group.

What you say inside the Bernie group is irrelevant to the decision.

[upaloopa]

15. There are a bunch of OP's like yours. They are self serving gotcha and don't deserve respect

You could have posted your OP to GDP but no you post where you would get what you were looking for then you make a new OP when your game wasn't replied to.

[awake]

17. Carful you may be locked here for complaining about the Hillary Group

Others have been locked for making post where they mention that they were locked out of the Hillary, so step lightly. Just a kind heads up to look out for incoming flames.

[demmiblue]

19. I don't care about the Hillary Clinton Group or what their members think.

That is why I have the group trashed.

I wish people would stop posting about protected groups in the forums.

[Tarc]

20. Your post was kind of ridiculous

By what other metric would you like to apportion the delegates? Wyoming is so low in delegates that there is more "distance" if you will from one threshold to the next. Sanders needed to hit somewhere around 58% IIRC in order to get that 8th delegate. He didn't.

[Dem2]

21. blah blah meta BS

trash

[noiretextatique]

23. Cheerleading echo chamber

And 24/7 Sanders disinformation. Welcome to the club.

[cyberswede]

24. Locking...
