As a third party candidate after she loses. Has she ever said she won't?

(...yeah, this post is pretty fuckin' stupid, too).

I will vote for the Democratic Nominee.....even if it's The canine Insult Comic .

This weeks Supreme Court votes confirm for me how important that is.

It was total flamebait and making crap up. If I posted that I'm not convinced Hillary won't declare herself ruler for life if she gets elected or that I'm not convinced Martin O'Malley doesn't have a secret love child, I would not be surprised if my ill advised posts got hidden.

It is a reasonable worry that he could change his mind and run as an independent.

My point is the hide was bogus and was only done to silence an HRC supporter.

Seems to be a lot of alert stalking here.

I like the poster. I know alert stalking happens- seen a lot of the HoF posters get targeted. And I am sad to see how divisive things have gotten already this early in the primaries. I think the post in question should have been hidden, but you've made me think, and I do want to thank you for having been so decent and civil through all the craziness of the last few months.

I'll leave things where I did with Justin last night- while I personally thought it was a fair hide (I was not the alerter or on the jury, fwiw) I get what you guys are saying and it did make me think. And while we're supporting different candidates, I've always very much liked you and your posts. I'm sorry things have been getting so divisive so early.

I know that neither Bernie nor Hillary will run on a Third Party ticket if they lose. That would be foolish and a losing proposition for everyone. And so far as I know neither of them want that for this country.

bernie's du team posts flame bait 24/7. One legitimate question that may potentially insult bernie's du team and it gets hidden?

This is crazy. This is a board where people--all people--not just bernie supporters can post.

You couldn't just kick one of your other Watch Your Back threads where the protected community commiserates over the unfair stalking by enemies as well as trading tips on how to avoid juries stacked by your enemies as well as increasing your chances at getting called for an enemy's jury?

he is going to run as an Independent. It was pure flame bait due to the fact that there was no reason at all to lie about someone who, even for those who support Hillary, know is a man of his word.

I have seen nothing to compare to that from supporters of other candidates here.

this post remaining unhidden should remove it. After the equally egregious post in regards to Bernie had been hidden by a jury I alerted this one and pointed out in my alert that the post this post referred to had been hidden. Yet here it stays.

The intention of each post is completely different.

The other post was flamebait masquerading as a legitimate concern/question. That poster has a habit of posting such posts under the guise of "asking questions." It's disingenuous and utterly transparent.

So, I posted mine to further illustrate the ridiculousness of posts like that one. I even admitted mine was stupid in the post itself.

We all take chances with juries.

A group of people get together and hide posts that they disagree with. Sounds like some messed up priorities on a Democratic board.
