There are some fairly sensible people at JPR, who just dislike the dems and whomever too much to fit well at Democratic Underground, trying to make it a valid political discussion site. But they are overwhelmed by the numbers of those who share their feelings to the Nth degree and have no boundaries to their negativism, profound dishonesty, and willingness to abandon all principles for the "revolution" or whatever sparks their enthusiasm.
And, I'll add, in some cases no boundaries to their ignorance, astonishing displays of which are constantly being posted. Bernie enthusiasts usually who apparently never, ever google for information, just soak up vibes from the revolution.
I'd feel more sympathy for the more sensible ones if I didn't know that they are running with these people because they have more in common with them ideologically and temperamentally than they do with liberals. The lying down with dogs and knowing people by their friends things.
