Has anyone else been looking for forums that are more supportive of democrats?

I'm not talking about making a goodbye cruel world sort of post... I just mean that I'm starting to feel like there is probably another forum where people can be supportive of democrats without being attacked, and maybe I should find it. Anyone share this feeling?

at every possible moment. We'll hear about how Sanders would have done XYZ and why oh why didn't we go with the only REAL choice.

I really don't know any other forums though. I like visiting The People's View for good blogs and comments but are there any other places like this?

Rough weekend with the NV crap and the insane Trump articles which his supporters just ignore... What a bizzarro world this is... Just want the primary to be over so the Dem Party: Obama and all...can start their force of one and bring some sanity back here...

After the election, I suspect that a lot of new posters who make divisive posts will disappear since they are not here to be part of a liberal community.

But I have noticed that TPM's comment section isn't so infested. It's not really a form though.

The lunatics have taken over this message board, going by the GDP alone you wouldn't be able to tell if this was Democratic Underground or the Alex Jones forums

All the things you would like to say at DU that would get you banned here are OK at ESS where they make mercilessness fun of the Bernouts.

No hides there for calling out Sanders. And they do it brilliantly. Funny how freedom of expression works when you have it...

Wicked funny!

Both places are how I wish DU was. This site now is a toxic waste dump of undercover republicans, Hillary hating misogynists, third party loons and anarchists.

I'm going to start checking them out this week. Even after it's been called I think I'm done with this place. I can't have respect for a site that allowed the kind of shit this place allowed. The damage is done. I want a place for reasonable people.

But the format here on DU just works better IMO.

I think if we just stick it out here and hold up in the Hillary Clinton group, we will soon see this board regain some of its lost integrity. The BSers will become bored with disruptions eventually. That is what I am betting on.

They may be reluctant to do anything more than cracking down on uncivil personal attacks and still allow the constant stream of anti-Clinton and Democratic garbage.

The worst offenders are dead wood which needs to get pruned out to allow new growth.

Our small business had some lemons over the years. Repeat customers who were major pains. My father didn't want to cut them loose and finally he started listening to me.

The worst of them are actually keeping new viewers from coming here. AND driving away older clients.
