Just a member of the Senate.

given that his public profile lists him as Sanders(I) of Vermont

That plus his surrogates consistently attack the rest of the Party from Warren to Hillary and everyone in between

And I'm not his surrogate. He's not even my candidate of choice. I'm just trying to stop the spread of misinformation about DU's terms of service.

No

He is out for himself.

And they have accomplished FAR more in their careers.

when you're asked to serve on a jury about bashing a Democratic figure--something like Democratic figure or person who normally aligns with Democrats, such as Bernie Sanders.

From the "Don't bash Democratic public figures" alert:

"This rule also applies to Independents who align themselves with Democrats (eg: Bernie Sanders)."

figure. It's also in the TOS.

I have read the jury rules and I try to be a responsible member of the community which is why I asked. I'm not perfect and I didn't remember.

Geez.

I think that part should be removed though, it's rarely enforced.

Wasn't necessary

It's the last sentence of the "Why we have this rule" part of "Bashing Democrats". How many people read the "why we have this rule" more than the first time or two that they encounter it? If at all? Most people already think they know why we have this rule.

And it's not in the "Support Democrats" rule at all, anywhere.

Anyway, its clear from this thread and others I've seen on this subject that the ignorance is widespread.

You are correct in #20 that it's rarely enforced.

People see a "Don't bash Democrats" or "support Democrats" alert re: a bash Bernie post, and think "Bernie is no Democrat" and vote accordingly.

he is. And his liberal policies are more aligned with the good of the public than a number of corporate-type politicians who have official D's after their name.

of which a large percentage of threads are just endless Bernie (and Bernie supporter) bashing

... that mentions him, specifically - but it is in the context of a General Election candidate. I look for that mention - it's near the bottom - and read/consider the entire guideline, with the General Election context in mind.

always makes me laugh as Sanders has spent a career bashing democrats and democratic initiatives.

I’m going to lock this now.
