Sanders had not been vetted. Hillary, she has been professionally vetted for twenty five years. Interesting to see who was backing Sanders, he has repaid them several times.

... the Hillary Group has banned more people than the Bernie Group. Well, yes we have. According to Skinner, the actual ratio of Bernie to Hillary supporters on this web site is about 6:1 (that's six Bernie supporters for each Hillary supporter).

Of course, these whiners are completely oblivious to the fact that the current banned-member numbers (our 479 compared to their 248) is only about a 2:1 ratio. This means that our rate of banning users is well below the actual ratio on this site.

If the Hillary group was actually banning people in direct proportion to the actual ratio, our number would be up to about 1240 bannings (instead of the current 479).

Conversely... if the Bernie group was actually banning people in direct proportion to the actual ratio, their number would be as low as about 80 (eighty) bannings (instead of the current 248).

This means that, the BERNIE GROUP BANS MORE OFTEN, and DISPROPORTIONATELY to the current 6:1 ratio on this web site.

And still, they gripe and moan and whine and complain about how horrible it is that they're the ones being treated unfairly.

Oh, boo-fucking-hoo! Give me a god-damn break! Grow up!

Note to Jury: These are Skinner's claims, not mine. I've just done the approximate math and explained the proportionate estimates. No group or specific person has been smeared. No candidate has been attacked.

Group in the freaking trash.. there's no way I would go in there.

I suggest everyone do that. I suggest they put ours in the trash and then they wouldn't stumble in.

And, have to whine about it later. You come to disrupt you get canned. Simple enough.

The fact that we have more banned berns only means that they disrupt more which is pretty freaking obvious.

Thank you for all those stats, Jackie.

The easiest way to maintain sanity in the Hillary Group, I have found, is to simply put any Bernie supporter you find in here on Full Ignore the instant you recognize them as Bernie supporters. I figure if they want to come here and disrupt, I have no interest in anything they have to say from here on out. Unfortunately, Skinner had to install another server just to handle my Ignore list, but it'll still be there when the Bernie fans all get tombstoned after he drops out of the race.

Sanders' record on gun control is not good, so it's a wonder why so many pro-gun-control people love them some Bernie.
