Guys, I'm going on hiatus.

[Betty Karlson]

Still feeling the Bern (more than ever, actually), but the levels of alert-stalking are disgusting - so I'm going on hiatus for a week or longer. (There is also a lot of homophobia among Clinton's supporters, so I am feeling less and less welcome on this site.)

Meanwhile, I hope that all will be done to make Sanders the Democratic Nominee. I'll be back after Sanders has got it. Alternatively, I probably won't be back until November.

Love,

Betty.

1. I understand.

I am not long for here either.

Come over to JPR. We are beta testing our 2.0 version which will have some very nice usability upgrades. Progressive voices like yours are so welcome there as well.

[NJCher]

10. you're already beta testing it? It's up?

16. Still looks like the old site to me

I want to pitch in my $27, but whether I can afford it largely depends on the result of the job interview I'm going for on Monday.

[TM99]

20. The beta is not visible and up for everyone.

Mods, admins, and a few select donors are participating in the beta tests.

Progress is coming along. We are making haste slowly.

[NJCher]

21. OK, well

I'll definitely be over when you get it going. But I really am an addict for "easy reading."

2. Best of luck!

You're definitely not alone!

3. Can't say I blame you, this place has become a cesspool

And continually seeing people who are nothing but disruptive trolls get away with their ugliness gets old. Many of them will go away after the election because their job will be done.

4. You will be missed but it is understandable. DU is becoming an ethical challenge.

Not sure if I will remain here either with the new bigoted mood of DU 2016.

5. You can come back WHEN Bernie is the nominee.

It will be clear after all the garbage comes out about the queen 👑 and more Super Delegates start flipping.

After he wins California, ND, SD, MONTANA, NM and possibly Puerto Rico, the Super Delegates WILL flip!

This place will have a mass exodus after June 15th, so you're not alone!

Chin up and fight on! The revolution is here. Bernie is going to be our nominee.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

6. I hope you're right

I just hope that the People's Candidate can get past the drumbeat of "Bernie is finished" stories coming from Tammany Hall and the court media.

12. No one's listened to the mainstream blahblahblah up to now- and

all those people who just registered - they won't show up to vote? They were just playing? They had nothing else to do one day and thought Hey! I'll register to vote! That'll kill some time! I don't think so.

[nxylas]

15. I know

I guess I'm just anxious. So much is riding on these last few primaries. It's not just who gets the Democratic nomination. It's the whole question of whether America reverts to being a democracy, remains an oligarchy, or slides into full-scale fascism.

[LiberalElite]

17. I'm anxious too but

I'm stifling it. Whatever happens happens. We do what we can and - let it go.

[winter is coming]

7. Be well. Hope to see you again somewhere, if not here. n/t

8. We understand Betty. There are some real "class" acts calling themselves Clinton supporters

In fact, I've seen more Hillary supporters act like total turds than Sanders supporters. Hopefully Skinner will be a man to his word and muzzle the worst of them before this place dies the slow death many other websites experience.

Hang loose Betty!

[Mbrow]

13. you're not kidding,

I got into a little trouble the other days, let my temper get the better of me. I still lurk here and drop encouragement rec's here and there, but am spending more time reading JPR, so much nicer. I've enjoyed so many people here it's hard to give it up cold turkey.

[Bluenorthwest]

18. Most of those 'class acts' have bashed Hillary in the same way in the past.

Currently they exploit her as a device for bashing at Bernie, who offends them due to their biases. They don't like Hillary either, most of them. Or so they have said with great certainty.....

[Bjornsdotter]

9. Sad, I understand

...I hope to see you at jpr.

[NJCher]

11. please go over to JPR

Hate the idea of not seeing your posts again.

14. I'm sorry but completely understand

I mostly post on reddit, this place is toxic

[rhett o rick]

19. Best of luck. Things are getting bad here and probably will get worse.

Skinner says that we shouldn't be harassing each other but the Clinton supporters get a free hand. They only make up about 20% here but wield a lot of power. And they get away with shit that we can't. I have got about 80 people on ignore but still overreact to the arrogance and gloating. I got my 5th hide and it was my own fault. I overreacted to hypocrisy. I know better.

When I came here we were united against the Corptocracy that put Bush in the WH. We all were against the Corp-Media and Big Money influence in government. Funny how some Democrats forgot all that to support the new Corporate candidate. Can we spell hypocrisy?

[jillan]

22. I understand. I think it's just a matter of time for the rest of us.

Hopefully we can all meet up again at JPR.
