Would "BernieBots" have done it? If so, bogus.

From henceforth, let them only be known as "The Sincere and Virtuous Supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders", just to be on the safe side of a stacked jury.

The jury pool is very tainted these days and some have been managed to even be banned from serving for pointing out some of this stuff.

It is a partisan cheerleading game now. Take it as a badge of honor that you ruffled feathers enough to make someone angry.

The entire premise of a Sanders presidency is that his supporters will use the same tactics they are using in the campaign to overcome all resistance to Fearless Leader.

12. Because in addition to having Mods, "safe haven" groups have become dangerous grounds

for Hillary Clinton supporters. In addition to Mods, the alert/jury system is still in effect, making it anything but a "safe haven".

DU should implement eliminating alert/jury abilities in safe haven groups since they already have Mods. Wasn't the alert/jury capability launched in lieu of Moderators?
