What a difference four years make on these pages

No, we did not have to declare our preferences to post on the primaries forum. Candidates pages were not limited to declared supporters but the moderators of the Sanders group would ban us as soon as we tried to post something, even something positive.

I, at least, often felt under a siege. The Sanderistas constantly alerted and hid our posts while let their own stay.

Thus, it is nice not to be harassed as we were four years ago. It is nice that the Sanderistas have not been the majority this time around.

I have been a Klobuchar supporter, most of the time at the bottom of the preferences, yet felt secure. Posted many stories on the Klobuchar 2020 without anyone alerting. And now followed her to support Biden.

Yes, I am venting. I am entitles. Now. And, I remember how this group was a place of shelter, of respite and have been grateful ever since.
