That insinuated POC who vote for Clinton are suffering from Stockholm or simply ignorant. AA's are called racist and women have been called c$@ts. I love how you attempt to show superiority when differentiating between the two sites. What you reference them as saying doesn't come close to the things said on YOUR preferred site.

I have proven that outright racists and sexists don't get banned from here. That is truly a fact. Your need to deflect in order to maintain false moral superiority is clear.

I see zero issues. You have yet to show a post that rises to the level of outright racism as I have with respect to YOUR site. You know, the one that gives you feelings of moral superiority. I can't stop laughing. And your thoughts of moral superiority are made clear every day. You really didn't need to spell out your personal feelings of righteousness. lol.

This is hilarious, you're condemning someone who spoke up about that thread while defending bigots.

denouncing what is said, it clears all of them; correct? This is actually fun. The manner in which you position yourself to gain personal moral superiority while painting everyone else with a broad brush is great. Telling.

Thanks for the heads up though. I just went over there. They really seem to be doing a better job of discussing issues than we are here.

But before I blog anymore today I have to write my letter to the Sanders campaign. Have a great day BMUS.

It's not perfect and bigotry still exists but it's obviously better than the other site where anything goes.

For instance, have you ever seen this site's owner call people "white trash"?

Spiteful and petty posts such as this
is why people find her unappealing.

Her supporters reinforce her image
as a spiteful and vengeful candidate.

See the uh,NON-discussion after post 421:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027367805#post421

Similarly, this past summer another HRC supporter was praised as a holy martyr when he was put on forced vacation after calling another DUer a motherfucker, and other similarly choice posts to get him to a total of 5.
Another is currently on vacation (one of several) for similar anger-control issues.

Quite a lovely group of people.

Calling Bernie supporters "white trailer trash" and "dumb as a brick, and twice as thick" are signs of respect! And BernieBros try to spin them into negatives! Unbelievable!

Democratic process is challenging them at all. They are so confident that Hillary has it all in the bag but so scared to death of Bernie. How does that make sense? They don't even seem to realize that they are sounding just as nutty as the right-wing Republicans who they think they are opposing.
