This is what lead me there Kalidurga Apr 2016 #4

Thanks. Found many kindred spirits there. nt chknltl Apr 2016 #7

My understanding is they are Kos refugees Kalidurga Apr 2016 #8

Isn't there also a site with Kossacks in the name? I could have sworn someone at DU posted about it. merrily Apr 2016 #27

I haven't heard about that one. But, I wouldn't doubt it. Kalidurga Apr 2016 #31

I believe that DU has always supported only Democratic candidates, even from the start in 2001. CaliforniaPeggy Apr 2016 #9

Agreed - However, In 2001 Being Democrat Was Progressive - Now, Being Democrat Is Corporate. cantbeserious Apr 2016 #11

+1 In 2000, being a Democratic was in flux from progressive to corporate, but many did not know. merrily Apr 2016 #28

Exactly what has happened and is DU's direction IMO. Just like the current democratic party, I feel RKP5637 Apr 2016 #52

Just what I posted. JPR lacks user friendly functionality. 2banon Apr 2016 #68

I have no idea. mmonk Apr 2016 #10

To be trite, look outside the box. delrem Apr 2016 #15

The long-term plan may be re-aligning the parties, moderate Republicans and center right Dems merrily Apr 2016 #29

Actually I'd like to see the Corporates and Centrists of both major parties appalachiablue Apr 2016 #61

Awesome, thanks for being my first member! davenelson5555 Apr 2016 #17

Just a suggestion... malokvale77 Apr 2016 #19

The NYT was a poor choice of feed. davenelson5555 Apr 2016 #20

Why a new board, rather than joining JPR or caucus99? merrily Apr 2016 #24

The software and format. MelissaB Apr 2016 #34

? But that board's format is not like DU's, either. merrily Apr 2016 #35

Melissa is a website designer. FYI. jillan Apr 2016 #48

Please see Reply 47. If the idea is that people like DU's software they know that. If she's willing merrily Apr 2016 #50

I do not know what replies look like in the Revolution site, but it is easier than JPR at LiberalArkie Apr 2016 #60

Those sites are ok davenelson5555 Apr 2016 #39

Thanks, but that does not answer my question. You could have worked with them on format. merrily Apr 2016 #44

I could have, but wanted to make my own site davenelson5555 Apr 2016 #56

I suspected that was the reason, but I was curious, aka nosey. Thanks for answering. merrily Apr 2016 #58

I'm all about supporting liberal progressives... malokvale77 Apr 2016 #13

JPR is working on new software. merrily Apr 2016 #23

You know what would be really helpful at jpr jillan Apr 2016 #40

Okay. First, are you registered at JPR? If so, you can bring those issues up there to the admins merrily Apr 2016 #41

Oh yeah. I am registered. I posted a few times jillan Apr 2016 #45

I have already taken care of that. If you go there, you should get your questions about JPR handled merrily Apr 2016 #47

You're awesome. Like I said I bet people would be willing to chip in to help over there jillan Apr 2016 #49

Aww. Thanks. We're are a great group of people jillan Apr 2016 #46

the point that many folks are looking for another website should be something DU should take notice. PFunk1 Apr 2016 #21
