I haven't been on Truth-Dig for a while. Stopped by for a sec...

A ridiculous Mr. Fish cartoon brought me in.

While reading through the articles and comments it seems, apparently, that they've lost their gawd damned minds. It's turned into a 365 degree version of Freeperland.

I can't tell if the comments are all pro-Trump, anti-Clinton or both.

Also, I think that I've found Jill Stein Central as well.

Even anti-Trump pieces are all turned into Hillary bash-fests. Facts about Trump's horrible, anti-democratic traits are all accused of being "Clintonite" propaganda. You know those right wing Russian trolls that are mentioned in those articles? I think that they're all posting there.

They've lost all credibility, as far as I'm concerned... And I voted for Bernie in the Michigan primary.

They have no plans on what to do, no mention about building a grassroots third party movement to create a presence at the local, state and federal level. They're just whining and calling Hill every name in the book. I get the feeling that they hate her more than they like Bernie. It's a petulant temper tantrum parading as a website.

These people are NOT Democrats, that's for sure. I bet that they never were.

for a particular blog post from one of those sites linked to last night where the thread was eventually removed (although I still have it up in another browser tab).
