On Fri May 20, 2016, 09:07 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Should Progressives Unify with the Democratic Party Establishment? Hell No!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/127710602

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This post is bullshit. This place is DU. DU is not the place to undermine the Democratic Party. This is a clear TOS violation advocating not supporting the Democratic nominee.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri May 20, 2016, 09:15 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is a upbeat and positive article from "Common Dreams," an outstanding progressive publication. I'm shocked at the alert and will be disgusted if this post is hidden.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree w/ alerter. Either this is Democratic Underground or not. If you don't want to be a Democrat, go somewhere else.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Sick and tired of all the rage against our presumptive nominee. Stow it or gtfo.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's still primary season and this is out there and on your left. You can stand to discuss it.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: What a stupid alert. This is still the primary season and we don't have a 'Democratic nominee' yet.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm a HRC supporter and do not see a problem with this post. Yes, it's paints a distorted view of HRC's position on policies, but in the end Mr Cohen does advocate for BS supporters to vote for HRC if she is the nominee.
