22. It is that they know they got us by the throat

Mar 2020

The Majority of Bernie or Busters left DU in 2016 for the site that won’t be named. (Good Riddance!)

So pretty much they know the Sander supporters here are going to be the democratic loyalists. They know we aren’t going to not vote nor not vote Democratic. So they know that they can troll us to their Hearts content.

I mean, what are we going to do?

They can say whatever they want and we can’t do anything short of appealing to a jury for rule violations and hoping that it is an objective jury.

Further should we win the General election they can then say they didn’t need us and that we are a liability that DU needs to get rid of from the site. If we lose the general that just will allow them to say that was because Bernie and his supporters cost us the election like they did in 2016 regardless of whether that is true or not and try to have us removed from the site and have Bernie declared an enemy of DU.

We cannot win in any of these arguments on here...and they know that.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
