2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: UPDATED POST: Frankly, My Dears, I Don't Give a Damn [View all]Sancho
(9,067 posts)57. Thanks NG!
Whatever the motivation, DU has lost my energy for 2016 if not forever. It's no longer a Democratic site - RW talking points, professional operatives, and a waste of time for real progressives. No one could have said it better.
Sadly, DU has become the go-to site for RW talking points, a sanctuary for those whose clear intent is to be divisive, and a place where the vilest comments aimed at individual posters is deemed acceptable by jurors who dont give a flying fuck what gets said here so long as it isnt said by someone they personally dislike.
Sadder still is the fact that the Admins and owner of this site continually shrug their shoulders and act as though they have no control over what gets posted here when we all know better. They have complete control they just choose to pretend otherwise.

I remember how happy I was to find this site. Now, I feel a little bad for the new members

The Repukes have no problem with the 1% or Wall St. As for Third Way, that's closer to their brand

Just great. Another "don't give a damn" voter. The rest of us do give a damn

I think what you are seeing is a Democratic Party undergoing change, big change.

If the rules are enforced after Hillary is officially the nominee, they will not be allowed
