Fellow HRC supporters

Be careful. The BSS alert swarms are coming into our group in an attempt to shut down anything except posts glorifying you know who. I just got a hide on a very innocuous post in the HRC Group about the state of affairs here on Democratic Underground. They are very touchy. Everyone say nice things about ol what's his name.

I have no intention of badmouthing him. I voted for Clinton, but I have always said that I will vote for the Democratic nominee in November.

I've seen a few newcomers hitting the forums with some dreadful vitriol.


I can't wait to see the new "rules." One thing I had a hard time with, after learning all the "rules" in DU1 and DU2, was transitioning to a DU3 where those old rules were no longer operative. I still tried to stick by them but I've noticed a real decline in civility down the years. Some of this goading and sniping is just absurd. A little repartee is fine, but when people get vicious and personal it's just not cool.

Oh well--soon!!! Can't happen soon enough!!!!

I can afford a hide or two. It's not like I'm going after real Democrats who will vote for the Democratic nominee.

I think we should have a party but what time? 8pm est?


I don't think many people are focused on BS anymore. The news is about how awesome Hillary is and how awful Donald is.

too.. from the same person. He seemed very concerned about your innocuous post in our Group.

I would suggest to him.. and I know he's reading this.. that he alert on his own damn group and leave ours alone.

I love the thought of multiple orgasms but Bernie just doesn't figure into it.

Yes, it berns.

Bernie's camp turned to vitriol fairly quickly online.
I tired of sites allowing them to take over ..that's how I ended up here where there are still Hillary supporters welcome.

Its why I snark and razz them now... sorry if some don't like it, but Bernie's camp o' zealots will continue regardless.Wwhy let them have free reign and hide?

if you don't take them seriously, and I don't it, allows hours of entertainment ...and laughing is therapeutic.
I mean geez their skin is thinner than Trump's.

nice to say about whats-his-name anymore. In this case, the saying "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" is crucial to keep in mind as we approach the 16th.

this week. Everyone knows what's up. June 7th can't come soon enough. By the way, have they announced their May fundraising yet? They used to the first to announce their y-u-g-e haul, what's taking so long?
