ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Promoting a third party, which is against the site's Terms of Service.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jul 26, 2015, 06:54 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: DSAUSA is a MOVEMENT, not a party. Just like Moveon is a movement, not a party.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: After a few min of research, DSUSA doesn't run their own candidates, but advocates for reforms they support. TOS violations are handled by the admins, not juries.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: You didn't read this very carefully, did you?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The person clearly states the Democratic Socialists are a movement not a political party and that they believe in working within the Democratic party.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Unclean!
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter should learn to read.

Yet, the OP itself said that the DSAUSA is not a political party. In italics even. merrily Jul 2015 #4
