Most of them have rejected the Democratic Party.

Most of them will not vote for the Democratic nominee.

That or something like it is where those kind of people need to be!

It is not a site to support Democrats taking over the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Though, if Skinner was as purge-happy as some of them would like to believe, most of them would have been gone already. In my opinion, he's been remarkably patient.

It's traditional in South Texas.

Edit: Decided for four because I think that's the ultimate effect of three.

I thought they weren't going to tear DU down? Wasn't that a thing? ]

They are certainly paying a lot of attention to Skinners wife. Which is bizarre.

At any rate, they appear to be doing very well. The site is collecting money and growing.

Several members who appear to be, shall we say, less run stable, have found a lovely home where they have free rein to express themselves. I see that it's ok to call Hillary Clinton to "C" word, but only Hillary Clinton. I found an entire thread discussing the nuances of calling her a whore. Some thought one way, some another.

Hillary, has special illuminati-level status.

As well as its doing, the only clear pathway I can see given the nature of its posts is to become a more self-avowed conspiracy website--own it in other words. There are a lot of other websites that do this and it would be a great direction for them. A chance to be "One of the many" so to speak.

in the sense it does not support the Democratic Party. It is a site for those who do not like, nor do they want to work within the establishment. They are it's my way or the highway crowd. They are far left radicals and "get rid of all government libertarians".
