To Bernie supporters I made a decsion

[Robbins]

I am going to stop replaying to Clinton supporters threads.this will prevent them for having me banned and it allows me to be on
jurys when they alert on fellow bernie supporters.If i see thread which upsets me put member on ignore list.

[in_cog_ni_to]

1. I ignore their threads/posts.

I look at the name of who posted the thread/post and if it's 'one of them', I just move on. You know it's either a Bernie bashing thread/post, bashing Bernie supporters or a new CORPORATE OWNED POLLSTER BOGUS POLL. They never post anything of substance, so why bother reading it? It's time you'll never get back.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[Robbins]

3. One of problems is

you put member on ignore list and then you still have to see their BS poll thread.

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. I don't have an ignore list.

I just ignore them on my own. I usually read nothing they say and never look at their stupid, bogus polls because you know they're posting them because the CORPORATE OWNED pollster poll favors their CORPORATE OWNED candidate - otherwise, they wouldn't be posting it. If you're familiar with the HillPack (they travel in a pack. When one shows up on a thread, they all do), they're easy to avoid.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

12. And like her "purchased" Twitter followers...

...many of these posters are just doing their jobs.

Gotta get out those talking points somehow.

Very telling that the Hillary camp hired a PR agency that has junior people posting on message boards.

Is there any part of her campaign that isn't smoke and mirrors?

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. No.

And it's obvious who the paid operatives are too. They aren't fooling anyone.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

24. I practiced public relations for many years...

...I have friends who own PR agencies. I know a lot of people in that space.

The Public Relations Society of America has called this practice unethical. PR agency employees who engage in this astro-turfing--which is a form of lying--are dishonoring the industry. And themselves.

Top-notch PR professionals don't lie. They cast their client in the most positive light possible and secure media favorable media coverage. Creating fake accounts and engaging in phantom posting--is infantile. Maybe they have the interns engaging in these low-level, scummy tactics?

BP peppered their FB page with fake posters from a PR agency, immediately after the disaster in the Gulf. It was nauseating to watch professionals throw their dignity out the window.

[JimDandy]

30. Same here. Many of them

are the same authoritarian, corporatists that, long before this primary, I wrote off as holding Republican lite views. They are the consistent 'never-back-a-progressive-economic/personal privacy/middle class-issue' posters.

[sarge43]

2. They're not worth the aggravation, Robbins

You're right. Most of their posts are merely alert bait.

[Enthusiast]

5. I know how you feel.

[Old Codger]

6. Over 100

On my ignore list and usually goes up some every day, makes reading here much more pleasant . My memory is too bad to try to go without ignore list

[Robbins]

10. well

my list has grown to over 140 members.when they going prasing on clinton and bashing bernie they earn a place on my ignore list.
Logicil discussion never works with them.I remember time when i started doing this since they dismissed bernie as another DK
even after i pointed out he was elected 4 times as mayor of largest city in Vermont and elected statewide but they dismissed it
as being small state funny i never remember DK getting into over 30% of democratic vote nationwide back in 2003 and 2007
or leading In NH.

They ignore polls which suggest her not bernie is the unelectable one In GE.Bernie has been getting republican crossover votes In
Vermont for years.people who voted bush and romney for president crossover and voted for bernie to house and senate.One poll in vermont had bernie tied with trump and carson among republicans.

People ignore fact she is disliked more among independents and dems now than In 2007.back then many ant-war dems were more like they would vote for obama or lesser candiate in primarys and hold their nose for her in general if necssary now far less are
willing to hold their nose to vote for her.

[Hepburn]

7. Have done that repeatedly and find that I enjoy the DU much more.

The attacks and nastiness bothered me. So I now have 45+ people on ignore.

[Thespian2]

8. Correct Plan

supporters of the 1%er will not think through anything substantive, so there is little to achieve by engaging them in conversation...

[gordyfl]

9. All These Shenanigans

These tactics used by Hillary supporters - blocking, alerting, etc. are tactics I would expect from Karl Rove.

[Fawke Em]

31. Her campaign certainly seems to be lifting a few pages out of Rove's playbook. eom

[magical thyme]

11. heartily recommend. I've already got most on ignore and trashed the GD-P forum. nt

[Plucketeer]

13. I / We can't ignore the GOP

As much as we'd like to, we can't - and shouldn't. They EXIST. And what's more, they have powers to make things worse if we bury our heads in the sand.

Imagine two football teams lining up against one another on the field - only one team elects to turn their backs to the other because they don't like the way they're playing the game. Yeah - that's gonna work out great!

No, I just do like Sanders and keep whacking them with the truths. Even if it doesn't seem pertinent to the thread, I keep asking WHERE does her campaign monies come from and why is it they come from those particular sources. Between that and her weather-vain positioning on various issues being offered with mind-numbing repetition will ultimately be the oak stake that silences the rabble.

No one on my ignore list (LOL - although I'm sure on some other's!). I wanna see just how ignoRANT they are!

[magical thyme]

15. you can read their garbage and counter it with facts...just without directly engaging.

[gordyfl]

20. I Believe in Free Speech

Same here. I don't plan on ignoring anyone.

I once posted a comment that Hillary takes lots of money from the fossil fuel industry. It was relevant to the thread. I even posted the link of my source. Seems the normal thing to do on any discussion board. However, I was "blocked" from the thread. I thought that was strange.

[Plucketeer]

26. It's not strange at all

Not when one's primary (and only) goal is to seat someone with different "plumbing" in the Oval Office. How they get that person so seated and just WHO that person will work to represent, matters not.

[floriduck]

14. I use a different approach.

My ignore list is zero. I like to read the Hill people stretch for anything to bash Bernie. I like to keep my opponents closer to see how they justify their twisted claims. If it wasn't so serious to the future of our country, I'd think it's hilarious. And we all know, if you've been here for any length of time, you realize no one will change their choices. I only hope many will continue to support Bernie in the GE, even if he does not come out on top.

Here's what you'll get with Hill or any other non-Dem. TPP will get passed, inequality will continue and likely worsten, more war fighting, costing US soldire's lives will be lost, environmental policies will not change, Wall Street will be allowed to continue their gambling, the wealth will continue to go to the one percenters, and the hits will keep on coming. That's the reality if Bernie is not elected.

[stupidicus]

19. me too

eom

[Dustlawyer]

23. ^^^This!!!^^^!!!

I have never put anyone on "ignore" either, but not to say that I have not been tempted!

There are plenty here that I am convinced are just spewing hate and propaganda as a job. It makes sense that they would target DU, but I think their methods do nothing but drive people away. They only demonstrate the depths that corporatons have gone to assure the continued control of our government, judicial brench, the media, and ultimately, the citizens of this country. It sickens me that our country that so many have died to protect was taken over while we remained ignorant of the deception. It sounds so implausable, but it's true.

This is our best chance to reverse what has happened since Bernie is going right at them. He wants Publicly Funded Elections (PFEs) to attack the root problem, TPTB's ability to buy control of our politicians. If Hillary is successful this will NEVER happen while she is in the White House!

Join me in making PFEs a reality! It is the way to solving most of our problems and returning Representative Democracy to the People!!!

[floriduck]

25. I hear ya.

[Plucketeer]

27. Good summation! nt

[Duval]

16. Boy, do I understand

I haven't put anyone on my ignore list. I sometimes read the hysterics, but mostly I just skip over them. So many times I have wanted to respond, but I've seen what happens when others do, so I don't. Who needs the aggravation?

[sus453]

17. Well, I guess that explains

why my mild comment was removed from the post about Hillary getting the endorsement of the New Hampshire mayors. I wrote something about that being great news for Hillary, and poor Bernie - the only people he has are the common people like us. I was trying to make a point that Hillary gets support from the top down, while Bernie gets it from the bottom up. This morning I look, and my comment was deleted.

When I first joined this site, I thought, "Great, Democratic Underground", a left-leaning site, not knowing that it meant Democratic Party exclusively. Now I'm wondering if it means Democratic as in Democratic National Committee.

[stupidicus]

18. well, they are an amusing lot

I asked one of them in jest last week, if the repub turned dem endorsing HC in KY use to chase her skirt when she was a Goldwater gal, basically because they are the same age and made of much the same material, and got charged in the alert with claiming HC is seeking endorsements using sex as the prize.

I'd ask for starters, "HOw does questioning his actions become an indictment of her?", but sadly I couldn't as we know. Let this serve as an illustration of how dishonest and immoral as a result they'll gladly be in their quest to silence the opposition around here.

28. Fucking rich coming from

the group that started a hate site to purposefully get members banned and juried! The irony, it burns!

[restorefreedom]

29. some people are threatened by full and honest discussion

one of the reasons i think hillary is so vulnerable in a ge. the scrutiny will be 1000x worse in a ge

[Robbins]

32. You are seeing me follow through with it tonight

when a certain user post another one of polls to tell us we should just give up and accept mis inevitable.

of course it;s likely voter poll and independents and young voters are being discounted.not to mention crossover voters switching over to dem to vote for bernie.

i didn't respond but i added another clinton supporter to my growing ignore list.Part of my reason is they call at times us racists and
Sexists.so it just not because they support clinton.

i refuse to concede primary to Clinton.

[LiberalElite]

33. I don't pay any attention to them

I was banned from their group in an instant anyway and I trashed GD-Pee. What a cesspool of regurgitated crap that place is.
