I'm in MFM008 Jun 2016 #371

Thanks for the update Dem2 Jun 2016 #393

Thanks for the clarification and for letting us use your forum. uppityperson Jun 2016 #394

The divisions are deep and fundamental zeemike Jun 2016 #396

Will advocating that super-delegates vote for Bernie be allowed? jg10003 Jun 2016 #400

I think it's clear from the above announcement that it is not. barrow-wight Jun 2016 #471

advertising glinda Jun 2016 #520

I don't recall anyone caring about any of them since Nader. barrow-wight Jun 2016 #526

This is the Democratic Party. A little something called democracy also matters. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #528

Skinner: If Hillary Clinton has trouble with the law i.e., investigation, FBI, DOJ and she is bkkyosemite Jun 2016 #402

okay, so I have one week left to bash people here. Bucky Jun 2016 #403

I would hope so. rug Jun 2016 #420

Generally speaking, I think the terms of service are not well understood... CBHagman Jun 2016 #417

Agreed. Or "the other post is worse so I'm not hiding this one" which just leads to the escalation seaglass Jun 2016 #562

Its like herding cattle. Go Vols Jun 2016 #428

This sounds very reasonable to me. k&r DesertRat Jun 2016 #432

Thanks Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #446

Thanks for spelling it all out! ucrdem Jun 2016 #451

My prediction.... Gary Johnson and Jill Stein alittlelark Jun 2016 #452

Well Jill Stein should not be discussed in the GE Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #459

As I read it, advocacy for Stein is barred but that doesn't mean she can't be discussed. Jim Lane Jun 2016 #473

Advocated for here... no. mwooldri Jun 2016 #474

I agree nt Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #489

Your fatal flaw like most anti Hillary people here is that you think your opinion is matched by a upaloopa Jun 2016 #486

Not going to happen. Johnson got 1% in 2012, Stein got a total of 450k votes TwilightZone Jun 2016 #630

This is very disappointing, I feel that you are trying to direct the discussion in favor of Hilary. DrewFlorida Jun 2016 #463

How is it possible for Bernie to win? kerry-is-my-prez Jun 2016 #470

pretty much the only way he can is for the FBI to recommend an indictment before the convention AntiBank Jun 2016 #585

Nope, Skinner and DU always try to direct discussion in favor of the Democratic nominee. stevenleser Jun 2016 #584

Sounds good ismnotwasm Jun 2016 #469

Very Reasonable Oixi1993 Jun 2016 #475

hi newbie! glinda Jun 2016 #524

That leads to a question. RandySF Jun 2016 #477

I'm looking forward to general election on DU. bobGandolf Jun 2016 #480

Looking forward to seeing how this works out on DU goldent Jun 2016 #481

I'm calling Congress and the FBI RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!111!! zappaman Jun 2016 #506

Like I've said in responce to every other thread that has announced Clinton prematurely Lordquinton Jun 2016 #510

Excellent proud patriot Jun 2016 #515

Great! Now we can all get down to the real business of totally trouncing Trump. In_The_Wind Jun 2016 #554

Why Not Wait Until The Convention When It Is Finally Decided? I'm an Old Fart Land of Enchantment Jun 2016 #560

It'll definitely be interesting Dorian Gray Jun 2016 #561

June 16 is too soon. GE mode should be for when we have a nominee - which will be in July. Betty Karlson Jun 2016 #563

The AP will call the election by June 7, when Hillary wins the majority pnwmom Jun 2016 #565

superdelegates will not be committed until July. If the AP wants to presume a lot, Betty Karlson Jun 2016 #623

Superdelegates are committed whenever they decide that they're committed. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #662

The AP doesn't "lean" any way. They'll be following their STANDARD procedure. pnwmom Jun 2016 #664

Maybe I will come by more often. JNelson6563 Jun 2016 #567

And that would be a GOOD thing! Maeve Jun 2016 #573

Hi Maeve! JNelson6563 Jun 2016 #710

Guidance on prohibited "meta-discussions" anyone? Not sure I understand. n/t MrModerate Jun 2016 #570

Meta-discussions are those about the board Maeve Jun 2016 #572

Ah, I was afraid it was a prohibition against . . . MrModerate Jun 2016 #709

i hope everyone reads and takes this to heart. barbtries Jun 2016 #574

Sounds about right... The_Commonist Jun 2016 #579

So, at what point can Bernie supporters tell Hillary supporters, 'told you so'? Dawgs Jun 2016 #580

But I really, really, REALLY wanna purge! MoonRiver Jun 2016 #581

All I ask is that the targeting of black DUers end. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jun 2016 #587

YES. betsuni Jun 2016 #592

Yup, Hillary supporters in General, black DUers in particular. nt stevenleser Jun 2016 #642

So if it's "support Hillary or else" here at DU nyabingi Jun 2016 #600

"unfortunate enough for her to become president" Maven Jun 2016 #620

I'd be happy to explain nyabingi Jun 2016 #707

"if we're unfortunate enough for her to become president" obamanut2012 Jun 2016 #621

It would be unfortunate for either to be president nyabingi Jun 2016 #706

Yeah, that isn't what that statement means obamanut2012 Jun 2016 #708

You sound like a Trump supporter Democat Jun 2016 #637

I put Hillary and Donald on about the same level nyabingi Jun 2016 #705

wise choice considering the other responses stupidicus Jun 2016 #643

I hope you are going to do something about the repeat offenders you keep allowing back Rex Jun 2016 #633

Do we have any more flexibility in what we can say within the Bernie Group? JudyM Jun 2016 #635

Point Taken colsohlibgal Jun 2016 #636

Looking forward to the changes. LynneSin Jun 2016 #638

Perhaps you can add an appropriate check box to the alert? The Green Manalishi Jun 2016 #640

That's actually a really good idea! obamanut2012 Jun 2016 #646

We are completely changing the way we run the site. Skinner Jun 2016 #656

Thanks The Green Manalishi Jun 2016 #693

So sad to see the Freepers go. ffr Jun 2016 #652

You mean people who want universal healthcare, less war, no torture, no capital punishment, Doctor_J Jun 2016 #689

I'm ok with Hillary and I will vote for her. DocMac Jun 2016 #658

Glad to see this happening, Skinner. hamsterjill Jun 2016 #660

thank you and I love you! renate Jun 2016 #661

Why is there no paragraph about what criticism will and will not be allowed for Bernie? cui bono Jun 2016 #670

Interesting. H2O Man Jun 2016 #672

The tos say that we're allowed to be liberal. That will conflict starkly with Mrs Clinton's views Doctor_J Jun 2016 #690

I'm complete down with and looking forward to the transition SaschaHM Jun 2016 #691

So when Clinton loses the General Election RoccoR5955 Jun 2016 #694
