DU General Election Season Begins Soon: What You Need To Know

343. I know some of you Sanders supporters believe this, I just can't see how you can delude yourself

The worst offenders were Sanders supporters. Not only did they mercilessly attack Hillary supporters, they are 85% of the jury pool, control juries and when Hillary supporters responded in kind, Sanders supporters retaliated by hiding their posts.

To put it more plainly, Sanders supporters gave themselves, via the jury system, free reign to attack Hillary supporters, and if Hillary supporters responded with 1/3rd the level of nastiness they got posts hidden.

While Skinner hasnt come out and said this explicitly, the admins clearly noted that there was unfairness going on regarding the jury system and the only way to handle it was to give a blanket amnesty to everyone including a fair amount of Sanders supporters that had been given timeouts.

As to why the now, the admins arent dumb. They know that anything they did ever, like the blanket amnesty you noted, would be twisted as them stepping on the scale somehow for one candidate. And you aptly demonstrated that with your comment. So they waited until the primary was decided to implement the change.
