how we will see no such threads when Hillary wins a state more decisively than Iowa. Others besides Skinner did such nice threads. But you can bet the only responses to a big Hillary win are going to be of the conspiracy variety.

supporters. Skinner has a Hillary logo so I don't believe that he will unintentionally ignore us. As for Iowa it could be that it was just too close while NH was such a clear victory. Hopefully after Nevada and SC it will change.

I'm not as magnanimous as you book_worm. His supporters have been bullies and downright nasty. Reminds me too much of what we went through with Naderites, and look what we got from that fiasco. I'm too old to put up with that shit now. I was young and idealistic once, but I don't recall every being nasty, well maybe to the Nixon people. They were awful, beyond awful, I got to experience "Rat Fucking" up close and personal.

They won't even admit she won Iowa. I don’t think Bernie ever called Hillary to concede and congratulate her like she just did to him. He hasn't even acknowledged she won - he keeps saying Iowa was a tie.

Nothing wrong with it, and I wouldn't expect him to start a thread for a Hillary victory.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Personal attack on Skinner is implied.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Feb 10, 2016, 10:29 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This person is venting a little bit, not a big deal. Honestly there have been much worse things left up. Bye the bye I'm a Bernie supporter, every body has the right to speak and to their opinions.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Please stop. This is like mediating a dispute between children.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter: No, it isn't.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: it wasn't a win In iowa it was basicly tie with allegations of voter fraud
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh FFS alerter.. get a grip.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's a simple question. Attacks by definition aren't "implied".
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not an attack in and of itself (at a minimum, it depends on additional context outside the post or the thread)... though it is meta, which is a different issue. Skinner (who has appeared to lean Hillary) was probably being gracious, plus the sheer magnitude of the win was noteworthy... it may have turned out to be an historical night. I'm not sure, I might have voted to hide if this were in the general forum, but I'll cut more slack because it's in the Hillary group which can get kind of nutty and paranoid anyway, and it's pretty much allowed. Curious to see how the vote will go on this one.

Hillary supporters have been left to their own devises here.

Many of us have done what we needed to do to survive.

The ratio of Hillary supporters to other supporters here is way out of balance and that's because of the screwed up jury system where the minority is not protected at all and the majority is able to run wild which makes community standards on DU look realy bad and I do mean really bad.

I wrote this some place else and I still stand by what I said.

Waiting till after the Primary season is a copout. When your house is on fire you don't wait to call the fire department because you're waiting to see if it will go out on itself.

Yes I believe that a apt analogy.
