2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Goodbye DU [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,814 posts)... about how hard done by the Bernie supporters were on DU, when we all know they represented 85% of the posters here during the primaries and, also being 85% of the jury pool, pretty much controlled the entire board.
That being said, I don't know where you "got the distinct impression that progressives aren't wanted here". DU has always been a site for progressives. Some of them supported BS and some supported HRC - the latter group being told for the past year that they're NOT progressives if they're not with Bernie.
Anyway, if you're headed over to JPR in order to support Bernie, you'd better get there right quick. The Bernie-under-the-bus crowd has been very vocal since he endorsed HRC, and his now full support of her candidacy is not exactly going over well. Right now there are posts about how Bernie's entire campaign was a sham, and he was the Judas goat meant to appeal to the "progressives" in order to deliver them into HRC's hands.
But no worries. Once Bernie is thrown overboard, there will still be Democrats to accuse of stealing elections, threatening the lives of their political adversaries, accepting bribes in exchange for selling out their fellow citizens - ya know, ALL the stuff that JPR "progressives" discuss as their contribution to making the nation a better place.
P.S. You'd better check the JPR rules before posting there. I don't know if the "you'll be banned if you say Bernie won't be the nominee" rule is still in effect. It might still be - there are still those who believe that "it's still not over!"
