DU is a Bernie bubbleworld

REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
It's very offensive for a DU member to liken a legitimate and strongly rising candidate for the Democratic nomination as a "different side of the same coin as Trump". This poster states she and spouse will not vote for Bernie in the general election if he is the nominee. Over the top and damaging to the party in general.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Sep 13, 2015, 08:10 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Close, but not quite.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't like this post as a Bernie supporter but this isn't a TOS violation. You need to make this argument in the thread, not close down the point with a hide.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Frivolous alert. Stop trying to silence people who are not in the bag for Sanders.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This group is so out of control that it's hard to know what to strike or what to leave here. Doesn't seem to be much of a community standard.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Is this an attempt to completely shut out black voices on DU? Sanders does NOT resonate with people of color. Why is NO ONE willing to listen to PoC to determine why? The only thing that can happen as a result of LISTENING is broaden Sanders message from his very energetic, enthusiastic and LIMITED base. The answer is is to find out why and remedy that , it is NOT to shut AA's and others up!
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
