...and I thought that DK was pretty bad, LOL
May as well prepare for the avalanche of a whole lot of "thinly veiled" bullshit that should start pouring in in about ~24 hours.

Looking for a place where you don't get a hide for expressing an uplifting and positive opinion about a candidate that isn't named Bernard.
I do hope the events of tomorrow slow the roll of some of our most vociferous alert stalkers, insulters, complainers and professional victims.

I am looking for some good discussion, like this place used to be, back in the day. Now ya can't say anything without getting zapped. It sucks!

By then the Bernie supporters will finally realize that reality is really real and they have just been lying to themselves.
I ... will be quietly LMBAO.

(31,849 posts)What you bet "that word" slips out ... not in a racist way; but, because they were just really, really angry/disappointed.

Refreshing, indeed!
I too can bear insult if it's at least somewhat eloquent or loquacious!

Why??? - Do Major Players In The AA Community Tend To Go Quiet When One Of Theirs Supports Bernie ??

REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This post is a nasty, ridiculous poke in the eye of DU's AA community and really black people as a whole. No one black has to answer this poster's incessant "demands" to understand something that should be common sense to everyone. Yet another cringe-inducing, tone deaf post that says far more about this individual poster than he could ever hope to imagine.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Feb 26, 2016, 09:52 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is racially divisive.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Legitimate question in the OP, bullshit alert.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There is nothing wrong with the post.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's primary season. People talk about groups of voters, legitimate or not. People talk about Latino voters, women voters, white voters. AA voters aren't a sacred cow that shall not be spoken of.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Tried to give the benefit of the doubt BUT this poster has a long history of these posts. Were this a first timer, I would probably leave it alone, but WillyT, no.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Are AA voters now becoming like poor white republican voters? Voting against their own self interests?
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
I was Juror 6...and I could have gone either way on this, actually
