Of course that determination will be made by KOS. I've already seen invites to other forums if KOS does. It may be a forerunner of the super delegate battle.

That site sucks big blue eggs, always has. Some great writers, but it's too damn hard to get to them. Unlike DU, Kos doesn't do much to improve the place (kinda like Rimjob). It's like swimming through quicksand to scrowl on every page.

And Kos' March 15 deadline is too arbitrary - let the voters pick a candidate ... then circle the wagons!

and backpedaled a good bit:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/03/08/1498008/-March-15-applies-to-everyone-and-I-mean-everyone

He starts off by pointing to a pro-HRC post as an example of what will be banned after 3/15 and re-iterated that he would allow pro-Sanders posts.

Read the whole thing. Methinks he got burned by the backlash.

And one you advocate for someone publicly, you can't take it back.

I think he tries to be fair, but he has that fatal "pragmatism" gene common in all centrists.

We need to leave in droves and bury his butt. What a tool for the Third Way DINO party.

How dare Kos try to squelch the democratic process for his corporate loving war hawk darling!

Kos and his site are dead to me. We need to step up and make a statement.

Kos USED to be what DU was when it first started. Lots of intelligent debate and great research. This is will be Kos's downfall. He may not be out but the site will deteriorate into nothingness.

Blind party loyalty = utter stupidity.

and it doesn't change much. He's still saying get behind the Hill.
Why would I read such nonsense if it was only going to be about
her? I would already know what his site is about. It's about promoting
the Clintons. No point what so ever to read it.

He's free to do what he wants with his site, and people are free to react.

when he decided that no discussion of election fraud (what it is, whether it's happening, what can be done about it) was banned.
