An open letter to Skinner (POSTED IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FORUM)

[Amimnoch]

137. The Jury system has failed in its designed purpose: Making things more fair.

I believe it has made things more toxic, and I do believe it has done so for supporters of both candidates.

It is no longer about keeping Republican trolls out of our playground. It has become about using baiting posts to get someone to slip and get a hide on them. A hide, not for the content of their post; not for the purpose of hiding something insulting or obnoxious, but hiding for the sole purpose of silencing opposing views.

This has led to a very toxic culture of fear to express open and honest opinions either for or against Democratic Party candidates in a Democratic Primary. I do also feel that this toxic culture is going to do more to reduce overall support of whichever of our great candidates wins the Primary season from the supporters of the opposing candidate, resulting in damages to our Democratic Party candidate come the General election.
