After the exodus a couple months ago, it does my heart good to see HRC supporters returning

GDP may still be lopsided to one particular candidate, but it is no longer just three or four voices on the other side. Good to see, indeed.

And my guess is we're going to continue to see more join or return in the upcoming months.

We need to remember we are winning this race right now, no need to go negative.

Just get out there and work for and donate to Hillary!

Hopefully, the sudden need to support the nominee doesn't throw this place in a tizzy.

pushback. The perfect echo chamber. I think they're much more comfortable as part of a fan club than a political party that's on its way out.

It would seem that they "have some need" to shelter themselves from opposing views, especially those from the left. About the only thing posted here by the Clinton supporters are polls.

Some folks can not tolerate dissent...


I don't post at that site but I suspect it exists because supporters of a certain candidate can crap on Hillary and her supporters here and if they respond in kind they will have their posts hidden.

It's like a shelter for battered wives.

If I posted what I really felt here I wouldn't last a minute. The good part is that in 3 or 4 months Hillary will win the nomination and this shit will stop

a shelter.

There would have been no need for such a site if Bernie's bullies had not taken over here. I have seen jury results that would never have happened before this site was overrun by zealous Bernie supporters.

I know there are people who post there because they have been silenced here.

Bernistas are the ones who created an echo chamber: The Former DU.

Like you, I have not posted there. But I support them fully.

To extend the analogy it's like the abusive husband finding out which shelter his battered wife is at and following her there.

But since I am here, I will say that I was quite disgusted reading what they said about DU members on their nasty site. They should be embarrassed.

The oppressors don't get to calibrate the responses of the oppressed. As Sister Souljah once famously said "two wrongs don't make a right but it damn sure makes the wronged even."
