ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Claiming that some Clinton voters are voting "for the v-Jay" is rude and inappropriate.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Mar 30, 2016, 04:33 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: the what?
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is rude and inappropriate, but not over the top. I expect this kind of thing during primary season, I would have preferred a counter-argument or other way of calling it out. I don't think it's worthy of an alert or hide. Leave it alone.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Disgusting comment, rude, inappropriate, offensive, and over-the-line sexism.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: deragatory slur at women. Poster should be flagged for review
For those not familiar with the term the poster used, it is "vagina". Refer to urban dictionary. This is an intentional sexist slur referring to someone as an anatomical part.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(1,019 posts)Basically, it's an "anything, no matter what, in service of BERNIE" attitude. Bernie does something definitively counter to his brand, like trying to get super-delegates to subvert the popular vote? His supporters are all for it, even after months of decrying the whole super-delegate system.
I've seen posts by Sanders supporters insulting non-native English speakers pass jury review, as if we're all just a bunch of Trump Republicans around here. WTF, DU?
I'd respond with my suggestion for a similar retort to Sanders supporters, but not only would that be stooping to their level, it would probably be alerted and hidden by a majority-Sanders-supporting jury.

(7,480 posts)I've gone back to focusing on my studies and listening to Beethoven's nine symphonies when I'm not tweeting or occasionally on here. It's utterly reprehensible that such conduct, such vile words, should be allowed to stand on a so-called "DEMOCRATic Underground"! I've a 100% chance to serve on juries. Likewise, I occasionally refresh my browser throughout the day JUST to try to inject some reality into an altogether lopsided process.

I think Vh1 or MTV coined the term.
I think the inappropriate thing the author meant to say is va-jay-jay. As in, well you know.
Lord, this is the weirdest campaign season ever.

(4,640 posts)the edited post is just as bad. Yet, it and many other like it (brick post) are allowed to stay. Why? If I were to go into that forum and make a derogatory comment about how Berniebros are voting with their genitals, I KNOW it'd get a hide. It would be right to hide such filth. But, because the filth is against a woman, it's allowed to stand.
