it happened again. I got blocked on FB for posting this video by the NY Times of Bernie Sanders being arrested in 1963 - when he was 21 years old.

No spam. Not "against community standards". Wow....I'm really upset...but I must be getting someone also upset by posting the truth about Bernie....So I'm proudly in "FB jail" again...

Here's the video I just shared - and got reported then blocked - on "Silvers for Bernie 2020"

I love the post by someone on here stating " Bernie got arrested in 2016 just to get publicity". Pointing out his ignorance was ASStounding was Such a pleasure, but alas, idiots spring up like mushrooms.......

A lot of protesters got arrested in the 60s. It was part of the way of life for many of the youth. Who cares? It was far too long ago to matter and he's changed how he challenges status quo.

@AnneWimsey Please don't accuse me of ignorance. I'm not particularly fond of him and don't like the idea of him as president either. However, the point remains rather than simply protesting as he did back then, he got into politics and tried to change it from within. That certainly isn't the same tactic he used back then. I didn't say his ideals changed, just the way he decided to address them.

@AnneWimsey C'mon, Anne...that's how people here on A.com get reported and banned;

-name-calling.

If you suspect someone is "ignorant" you have two choices; either ignore their comment or prove them wrong with reliable links to reputable web sites.

Calling names is not only rude....in any debate forum or class it gets you suspended with an F. grade.

I guess I'm "proud" to have posted something that is not only honest and factual - but controversial enough to have those in "authority" (I call them Facebook "gestapo) ban you...so thanks for the encouraging words....I think? in the future I have to watch which groups I post "the facts" in.

@Robecology I write exactly b.v as I speak, (except in real life I use lots more profanity). Never been banned or suspended anywhere because I am not full of BS, period

Upset and proud? Make up your mind 😊🤣

Both? Upset that I keep getting "reported" - by either a diligent Soviet/pro-Trump bot...or an ignorant pro-Trump relative....not sure.

Proud - that the truth gets people (?) so upset they have to resort to lying to block me.

I got temporarily blocked on FB for posting an anti-trump meme, but I think it was my text caption: "white trash for trump".

I personally could care less what Bernie did 50 years ago! They shouldn't have blocked you! I get warnings everytime I am on FB these days!!!!!

You don't care that there is One politician who has Never flip-flopped, Always tried to do the right thing? Why, exactly?

@AnneWimsey no I support Bernie -he was my mayor in Burlington, VT 35 years ago.
