Finally got blocked for the Shrill group

I guess calling someone an asshole will do that. I just couldn't take the garbage anymore and let loose. I was surprised anyone saw it frankly bc Im pretty sure I have most of them on ignore.

I didn't realize I had wondered into their group, I was in GDP. Oh well. Im just about ready to leave and never come back. 12 years and another couple while lurking and my home isn't here anymore.

Even after this loss, I believe that we can still win. All we have to do is work harder. Cover the 10% "rigged" factor and get the wins. I feel like we let Bernie down. We pouted, licked our wounds, and took a couple of days off. Those days are critical. Im not taking anymore time off. Im donating and phonebanking and working to win the rest in HUGE amounts to overcome the "rigged". My only option to vote in Nov is Bernie so why would I give up. I won't vote for anyone else so I chose to make sure that I can do what my conscience dictates.

Goodnight all!!

I would have done it much sooner. I didn't call anyone a name. I didn't even get to say something nasty about Hillary. I just showed up with a Bernie logo something.

You're not missing much, unless you enjoy watching people scream nonsense at each other. If that's the case, you could watch old episodes of Jersey Shore.

Has changed dramatically, I only stay to see if Bernie can save it, and when I leave if he loses, I will look for a third party to match my values.

I wouldn't sweat it. It's an echo chamber anyway.
