There will be much disappointment here after June 16
but it will be on the part of those demanding an echo chamber (many of whom have never been here for a general election, at least not under their current usernames), not those who value real discussion.
I joined early in 2001 (my member number is 2,785), so this will be my fourth general election season here. I can tell you that DU does not become cheerleader camp. People continue to discuss issues; they simply must do it in a constructive way--this is what the nominee should do vs. the nominee is a poopiehead.
Of course, that is never good enough for the more zealous primary warriors, who are always the same people every time, no matter which candidates happen to be in the race, and who always complain bitterly whenever anyone says anything they don't like. That's what they do all the time anyway; why should things be any different for a few months every four years?
Will everyone who doesn't sing praises day and night to the nominee get banned? No.
In short, don't let the Yellow Button Club intimidate you. Few of them have any idea of what they're talking about.
