I'm seeing it more and more throughout the day... Seems as though most DUers and other moderate/Liberals/Dems are rapidly giving up on the site, which is sure to make it worse.

Not my site, not my decisions for sure, but I'm not sure this is what admins had in mind...


I note those bemoaning your even posting this thread, seem to be regulars on DI--though their posts there surely often seem incongruous to those made here. Even a casual observer can not fail to notice...
