The first Rule of Holes: When you find yourself standing in a hole, stop digging!

I have to wonder how many mental breaks will follow when the Hillary bunch are forced to admit that they have a loser on their hands.

Their over-the-top poisoning of the DU well will probably destroy this website, as well.

Of course, they could all be bad-tempered trolls, giving vent to their dark sides for pay, but I don't think so. Even trolls wouldn't behave like some of those with their fly-swatting GIFs and terrorist alerts and bans and tombstonings.

I don't want to give anyone the impression that I actually care what happens to such people--they have lost all semblance of humanity in my eyes, not to mention rationality and brother or sisterhood. But I do care about the rest of us, captives to this theater of the absurd.

At least we have each other, and a great leader to take us out of this morass into a rebirth of the America we would love to live in. Feel the Bern!

I hear nothing coming from that tightly locked vault ...

I suspect there is a serious wailing and gnashing of teeth going on in there .... That clothing is rent and all is dusted with the the earthen clay soils that girdle the pretty world here ...

Yet, I don't hear a single thing coming from that bunch ... Ignore is a such a blessing ...

It's a Festivus miracle!

If this place didn't have an ignore feature, it would have exploded a long time ago.

And honestly, if this forum dies because Hillary isn't chosen, then it didn't deserve to exist. I won't miss it at all. Someone will build a bigger and better forum for real Democrats and the progressive/liberal thinking that will bring this country out of the darkness.

that she can win. I don't know where this comes from, but they actually believe it. Probably the same ones who thought that she should have been the candidate last time.

All I can say, is watch them deflate when Clinton loses. The site will come to a new and better life, with more REAL activists who are concerned with WE THE PEOPLE, and not them, the corporations!

that the owners/operators of this website know full well what is going on, and permit it to continue, showing complete favoritism whenever they are pinned down. They are part of that corporate machine.

DU owners actually endorsed HRH on day one - even made her her own site, HillaryMoJo.com. That doesn't help the atmosphere of this place at all.

PEACE

The wider I could make the hole by digging sideways, the shallower it would become, as the dirt from the sides fell down under my feet. I could even sort of spiral stairway my way up and out using the sides.

Anyways, political websites typically survive primaries, no matter how silly and over the top folks get during them.
