1. You will also have lots of room to breathe, in your big empty forums

when half of DU evaporates. And after the coronation (should it succeed), you may expect the same result in the GE.

Enjoy your new-found freedom from dissent!

[Gomez163]

2. I think it is you that will be surprised. Yesterday was proof of that

[azurnoir]

3. what happened yesterday that proves anything?

[MineralMan]

4. 404 Recs for Skinner's announcement.

That seems to indicate that it was well-received. I expect to see a lot of voices here who have been silent for a while. I think DU will actually get even busier after June 16 .

[RufusTFirefly]

28. Haha! 404! How appropriate!

[Fumesucker]

5. Controversy drives clicks

What's controversial about saying Trump sucks?

[eastwestdem]

11. There are many people who have stayed away because of the obvious reasons.

I expect many will return. Additionally, people like my mom have been looking for an online forum to stay abreast of Democratic issues, and I have been hesitant to recommend DU...we'll see how it goes, but I might just change my mind after the 16th.

6. one big long slide

[hobbit709]

7. It will be unity all right.

Like the Borg.

[Gomez163]

9. We are all connected. In fact our feet are touching.

[4139]

10. Assimilation Day

[Gomez163]

17. Become one with teh Gomez163

[4139]

22. I am 4 of 139

33. A Budhist monk was at the hot dog stand. The vender asked what could he get the monk.

The monk replied "one with evaruthing."

8. There will only be unity after June 16 if....

Hillary is gracious, and Bernie is gracious, and the DNC is gracious.

If any of those three appears phony, or stubborn, or dictatorial, then there will be no unity.

And I put those three adjectives in that particular order for a reason.

[imagine2015]

12. ??? Neither Bernie Sanders nor Clinton will secure the nomination before the convention.

Except for the claims of Hillary campaign representatives, the corporate media and Skinner.

You know, the "presumptive nominee" nonsense which declares that Hillary is the nominee after the last primary even if she does not have enough pledge delegates, and she won't, to clinch the nomination.

[Gomez163]

13. #resistance is futile#

[QC]

14. Yes, it is clear that unity is very, very important to you.

15. On June 16, that will be zeroed out. We must let go of the past. Ommmmmmmm

[hobbit709]

21. What does it all mean, Mr. Natural?

It don't mean sheeit.

[VulgarPoet]

16. Ever notice the ones pushing for unity have been the most divisive and/or disgusting in their views?

[Gomez163]

20. No. I've never noticed that

[hobbit709]

25. "Got two good eyes but will not see"-Robert Hunter.

[QC]

23. Yeah, funny how that works, isn't it?

And they usually have nothing at all to say about any actual issue. It's almost as though they come here simply to be shitty to other people.

[Gomez163]

19. WELCOME TO DU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[geek tragedy]

24. when everyone here shares the goal of a Democratic victory over Trump in November,

that's when unity will happen.

there will not be unity until that happens

[Joe the Revelator]

26. Echo chambers are super fun. Can't wait to see a bunch of gushing nonsense on the front page

Instead of actual passionate discussion. Its all really a huge shame.

[Gomez163]

31. Speculating on a Hillary indictment isnt really discussion.

[Joe the Revelator]

32. It's actually very important discussion

What happens if she does get indicted? No matter how loud you whistle past that graveyard, her position with the FBI is only getting worse and murkier. Should we not discuss developments in that case? Should we not have a plan if we get to the convention with an indicted, presumptive nominee? That is a suicide march.

27. How much unity does this item bring the party...

[GummyBearz]

29. Yes we should all want to be a part of the borg

[Gomez163]

30. Locutus Johnson is correct
