Group Hosts and Regular Posters - an idea - please weigh in
I was thinking of starting an OP
Berne Sanders Supporters - Post Your Bernie Pros here!
First - I think HRC is going to win in SC. Due to the racial make up and numerous discussions about that racial make up of the Democratic base in SC - it could get very contentious in the group post the election.
Second - it would give them an outlet to post every single time a black American supports Bernie and provide a 'safe space' for Sanders supporters to discuss Sanders as it relates to black Americans in the protected group.
What's in it for you?
Hosts - we can lock first timers posts and direct them to their 'safe space'.
Members - if you come here to get away from it in the rest of the site - you can trash the thread or ignore it - even though it would exist.
I'm trying to brain storm how we can keep some peace and quiet and still give Sanders supporters a safe space in the protected group.
= new reply since forum marked as read
They can go to that thread - you can trash it. You will never see it in the AA group agin. 
The point with the threads is to MAKE this group listen, even after members have expressed their disagreement. If you send them to a thread that everyone trashed already, what is the point? There is no payoff for them. They will just find another way to disrupt.
But from a hosts POV, I guess I can see the benefit. You can send them to the primary timeout thread instead of banning them out right. Saves some drama, right?
Personally, I like it best when they just get a polite but thorough beatdown and take their ball and go home 
PITA for admins to deal with the butthurt, but their bad, too, for not providing proper moderation during this difficult time.
They will not stop. 
Like Madden for politics.... I was thinking about making a GDP bingo card titled "White People Telling Black People Why They Should Support Bernie Sanders". It works like debate bingo where you take a selection of popular names and phrases that get dropped and then you scan the thread to see if you can get bingo.
Killer Mike
Cornel West
Random YouTube Black Guy
Pivot to Hillary Clinton is Worse
MLK
Etc.
Initially it was going to be just Black People Who Support Bernie Sanders, but I couldn't come up with 25 names. Added fun would be trying to bait them into a statement when you got close to a bingo

Also afraid that the random youtube guy is over, so might have to change that one too.
This is the DU I joined! 
Let me think on this a little. I'll bet others have good ideas. 
or time out But if we can laugh all the way there, it is more fun 
Although I think we should take off Coates, Jealous, Belafonte and Ellison. Those four are actually valid reasons to consider the man unlike the rest of them.
And Michelle Alexander hasn't been all that flattering to Sanders than she was to Hillary. Though I still think her Hillary criticisms were weird. She directed alot of righteous anger at BILL'S policies at Hillary which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me
and then took a screen shot and dropped it into Photobucket. The generator doesn't save work, but I cut pasted the content into another file to save it there.
Once there is a solid consensus on what should be in the squares, I can screen shot each card individually, number them and then people just note which card they are using so we don't get dupes.
I agree that Ellison, Jealous, etc. are notable politicians and/or intellectuals and their opinions are worthy of serious discussion. But I think that because of the way they used in most GDP debates, they can stay on. Or we need to think of a BUNCH of new stuff to add.....
Here is an update based on 1Strong's feedback. And there are many more dedicated GDP warriors than I who have a better grasp on what the current buzzwords are, so I probably missed quite a few. Probably should add Random Black Blogger to the list....

Now the big question, what do we yell instead of bingo?
BERN-O!
I FEEL THE BERN!
Thoughts?
Because let's be honest, that the go to phrase they use 97% of the time. Every SINGLE criticism or even attempt to discuss Sanders' votes/policies/positions IMMEDIATELY becomes "well, why do you think that Hillary would be any better!!1?!"
It is simply beyond moronic. 
It's perfect.
It is easy to change. Look, I made a new one with Bernie glasses! And added an "Intentionally Blank" space for future use. See why I never get any actual work done?

If people actually want to play, I can post the other randomized cards, or change out the categories. Or it is easy if someone else has ideas. I posted the link to the generator already. The buzzwords do shift pretty quickly.
Then I, for one, will use them until the Mods make a decision.
Nice to have a choice and thanks so much for not only making this fun but it makes the point perfectly 
On edit: OMG, the glasses are priceless

That is freaking awesome but you straight up clowned some people with this bit here:
Initially it was going to be just Black People Who Support Bernie Sanders, but I couldn't come up with 25 names.
That's it folks. Pack it in. Wildeyed just won the fucking Internet today.
seems to play a big part in their carefully constructed narratives 
That should be mocked hard and often, IMO 
It's funny, but also true. Try to come up with 25 kinda well know black people who support Sanders. See? So there has to be common phrases and evasive pivots too for the game to work.
It's experimental!
