I thought you got a hide, whew! 
Now THAT's pretty funny!
In fact, I recall back in the summer someone called out DSB, claiming "how could you have been a Democrat since birth"!!!
I love your posts DSB, and......

"Debbie wants to silence Bernie". How many months have we been subjected to this supposed outrage from folks who apply a different set of rules for themselves
The level of hypocrisy here is unbelievable. 
hilarious but true!
Could you please post a link to that thread? If you can remember where it was? TIA
Two hides in a week including LBN posting about a candidate. I know just what your saying.
OS
"Democratic" board.
This is surreal.. I can't even believe we're talking about this.. DSB getting his fourth hide! Bravenak on another time out.
I saw what they hid her for and it was Nothing. Who does that?! Certainly not people who believe in Democracy.
And, of course, I can't really say what I want here about a certain candidate because.. well, you know the drill.
I'm just glad there's another political board where we can speak our mind because after 13 years discussing politics on the net.. it would feel really strange not to have a place to go to. That's why I got a computer in the 1st place in 2002.
The "protected groups" here aren't protected anymore.. there was a hide in Hillary's Group a couple of nights ago that was just talking about reality but the sensitive majority on DU deemed it sacrilege.
So here's to brave, DSB, sheshe, cosmicone, Maggie, and all the others who were just speaking the truth, without being vulgar, like some people who really do deserve hides. 
truth, without being vulgar, like some people who really do deserve hides." 
Take care buddy!
and they have been all over Chitown Kev as well... Just bogus alert stalk crap. 
damn.
That was one of the hides ... for god only knows why. 
besides all the fake ass DU:Bernie outrage that someone might refer to HRC a gift from God, especially in the absence of outrage when Bernie was referred to in similar terms.
And even if there was no hypocrisy ... it is a common expression of approval ... the fake ass outrage crew should really attempt to control their emotions; it's really a transparent and unflattering look.
You are, too, 1Strong.
I saw gg's hide yesterday , and she was simply objecting to being called names: third way, wall street shenanigans mumbo jumbo.
I miss bravenak! I started reading through her transparency page and had to shake my head.
Hang in there, DSB! You don't deserve this.
....for joy.
sometimes 2 + 2 =4 
Damn right.
It's going to be non-stop on how the election was STOLEN because Bernie won ALL of the online clickbait polls and they are real so there is no way he could have lost the actual election. And how the machines flipped votes and links to stupid conspiracy websites. 
DWS/DNC/Oligarchs threads.
But on the positive side ... there will be no HA Goodman OPs, because he will no doubt revert to his Paulian persona, and write an artice entitled, "Progressives Are So Easily Played."
I have become mildly obsessed with the Goodmanator. My theory is that HA is not a person. Have you read about the writing programs websites and newspapers use to produce fast and cheap content? Well that is what I think HA is. Someone scans all the random tweets of Bernie Sanders Online Red Brigade for key words and themes, then uses an algorithm to write the cruel and fantastic articles that EXACTLY mirror what the peeps want to hear. It is a self-feeding monster. It's the only possible explanation 
I made my own simple version that manufactures mean tweets and drive-by insults based on HA articles and a few of the more bizarre posts I have met here. I would post the link, but would def get a hide for that. It's basically Pejorative Adjective + Hillary Clinton + is the same as OR is worse than OR reminds me of + Republican or Enron or Trump, Etc + random weird insults that have been hurled at me on this site. It works pretty well. If I do another for Clinton supporters, we could completely outsource most of GD: P. More time for cat pictures! I should tell the admins 
until January 1:

Really bogus hides too. 
Sorry to hear about the problems. I have two hides in the past two weeks, which is one more than I had in the previous 12 years. I fully deserved them, but on the other hand, I had never seen that level of bullying and insensitivity here before. I walked into a bravenak thread after having been out for a few months and saw some of the BS that was being posted and I was like WHAAAAAA???? And just blatant, broad brush insults to women all over the place. The old system would have nipped that mess in the bud. But now it is the Wild West I can drop f-bombs and hurl insults with the best of them, but then I get the hide and half the time the other BS stand. Oh well. We can hope that it is better after the primary season is over.
But it may be that this new moderation system does not allow for serious discussion beyond a certain point. The old moderation system was a huuuuge PITA. I really hoped this new one would be successful. I was giving it a chance. But this sucks.
Here is an interesting thing. After my second hide, I strategically hid about five high volume Bernie posters. Not because of anything personal, but because they were basically spamming the board with nonsense and it was getting under my skin. They know better, they just like the attention, so the best thing I can do is not pay attention. And then I hid a few more who stuck out to me as particularly venomous. I also took both candidate forums off my Greatest page (I see new Hillary Clinton threads in my Subscription pane anyway, and can still click over if I want to read the Bernie forum). I also turned of sig lines. They were all blinking and got on my nerves. Anyway, a much better experience. I still get both perspectives, but the volume is turned down to a reasonable level.
Good luck.
Kick this threadBut they'll rec to the hilt an op that smears Hillary supporters as sad that harper lost in Canada.. without any proof or an inkling of evidence.
Then it's not "divisive".. see how that works.
Explanation: "Divisive meta hidden in a group. They're persecuted victims? On DU? Really?!" Accusatory phrasing unsupported by any contemporaneous submissions even in view of relevant "alerted" post. Member who was "alerted on" has in excess of 15,000 (fifteen thousand) posts which ostensibly indicates not only commitment to DU but, as well, value to the community herein at large.
This Alert and subsequent explanation of juror #6 only validates 1Strong's point of the OP. I cannot say more what I think about the alerter and that juror or they'd be swooping right down on my candid ass for the red whine alert!
#Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree that they are not persecuted victims. There is more reason for the hides than that they are supporting one candidate. And this is meta, plain and simple. It is not appropriate.
Oh, it is not "appropriate"..
Do tell us all about it. Hear that, 1Strong.. someone on the jury thinks you're not appropriate. Boo*******HOO!
Lest I get alerted on for not being "appropriate".
Among other things.
it rwingers are in the majority there and they're ruling the jury system!?
LOL SOL! They are your masters.. kneel! 
But ".. Punch the Alerted in the face" is very violently bad anywhere. And, It doesn't matter if they're rwinger or whomever.. anyone who alerts and then hides to censor anyone else's pov doesn't belong in the jury system.
Vulgar posts should be hidden but the posts I've seen hidden are just expressing their POV.
If someone fucking laughs the wrong way they're up for grabs with the Alert Squad on DU.
Your post is a perfect example of assholes in charge. Ooooops!
In solidarity.
about Bravenak. I sent her a message on twitter, hopefully to cheer her up.
