Insta-ban at two Bernie Sanders Facebook groups

I’m disheartened by admins of the groups “Bernie or Bust” and “Bernie is going to win.” They censor and ban instantly anyone that makes any type of argument in favor of Hillary. In both groups I posted a very civil message with a polite argument about how I dislike HRC but feel I have to vote for her… in both cases I was banned instantly.

As a forum administrator I pride myself on allowing open communication. I’ve had a few great people in my life argue against censorship and for the free exchange of ideas, and I’ve never banned a person making a civil argument contrary to my belief.

It’s sad to see that at least two admins in two different Bernie groups don’t appreciate an open civil discussion of ideas that can improve the country. It doesn’t seem to embrace a Bernie Sanders type of spirit.
