28. Yes, I get on juries less often but I'm on DU less often too. The Hillary vibe of this place is too

RepubliCON-like to enjoy as much as I use to. I think all the paid Hillary trolls visit DU regularly.

But I'm still called on. I'm an adamant Bernie voter and have been banned from almost all Hillary groups like the History of Feminism and the African American group. But I still get called upon to be on juries. If I'm actually at my desk when asked, I always agree to be on a jury. I feel it is my duty.

Once when I was banned from the Hillary group and 2 of my comments got hidden, then I got banned from DU for a very long time. Something about having too many hides and a ban in one day. It's was a very strange thing. I had never ever been banned before and had only one hide. The DU member called me all sorts of names, dropped the F bomb and attacked me personally but he alerted on me, I then alerted on him. They banned me and hid my comments even though it was he who had broken almost ever rule. His pro-Hillary insults and name calling were allowed to stay while my comments without insults were hidden.

I was dumbfounded that DU juries could be so absolutely unfair and partisan. I staid away for months. I still come here less often. It left a bad taste in my mouth and I hate Hillary Trolls.
