Registere at JPR the second day they were up.

There's going to be a massive realignment. ( i.e exodus). And DU will rival youtube as a site for serious political commentary.

That's the way they ---- site admins and owner(s) --- want it and so it shall be.

Clinton and Co. .... if successful.... will have lots of goodies to hand out. We all make choices and that ( i.e selling out) is the way some people choose to waste ( ooops. I mean "live&quot their lives.

So it goes.

See you further down the road.

it's all been quite disillusioning. I am thankful I have a great family and wonderful pets and interesting pursuits to keep me busy. Time not spent here will be focused on my gardening, writing, blogging, encouraging those who I am fortunate to speak to at events to dig in the dirt and grow great food.

During the Clinton years in the WH, I spent a lot of time at freerepublic protecting the Clintons until I was banned there, and then monitoring the place into the Bush years. The Bushies there exhibited the same kind of cult of personality. The tactics and hive mind were the same as we see here. It was poisonout. And there's a lot of that here, now. I'm a progressive and a Democrat. I don't like seeing the toxic behavior we face here every day.

I was an early register there.

This site is a mess...had to believe this is what the owners want.

Not really Democratic.

This is a neoliberal DINO site and the fix is in for Bernie and his supporters. Bernie Sanders is the most ethical and honest candidate of my lifetime and offers the best hope for this country. I've been on DU for eight years and am appalled by the hard right turn this site has taken. There is nothing Democratic about Democratic Underground. It is disengenuious to masquerade as a Democratic website.

This post may get me banned, and I don't give a rat's ass; I'll be long gone by the time the hammer falls. This site is nothing more than a Clinton echo chamber - bought and paid for, and yes, I mean that, bought and paid for. I am so done with DU and the pathetic facade of it being a Democratic forum.

This is my last post here. I am taking my ethics and integrity elsewhere and committing my time, efforts and money to getting Bernie Sanders elected.

So long DU, and the corrupt DINO candidate you are trying to ram down our throats . I am out of here.

I wanted to say, nice knowing you. I have to say I've experienced similar things lately. It has been a revelation. Let's get Bernie in the White House. Ciao!

the year if the Dino gets the party nod. I still will vote for Liberals which includes writing in someones name in the GE and if it comes to that I hop others do the same . I won't vote against everything I stand for. only Lemmings do that

You are not alone in your thoughts .

I know some of them are alerting on Bernie supporters like never before, especially after they start baiting threads.
But, they have no influence on the election.

Their agenda is to tear down DU simply because some of them were suspended
They admitted that on their special forum.
Nevertheless, regardless of what they say here or there, they have no influence on the election.

Some of them have already voted, and the election in the state they live in either wound up in a tie with Bernie, or Bernie won in that state.
So, their anger is not justified.

I was emotional, and got my first alert a few weeks ago. I've been here a while too. Right after the amnesty, I instantly noticed the same behavior from some individuals as I saw before. Of course I'm not innocent. But after they came back I'm not engaging at all. I feel justified to simply move on. I hate to lose your voice. That's what makes this so valuable. Whatever is right though.

This place has become UNdemocratic underground.

Republican Above Ground -- this in the Bernie group -- and got alerted on. The result: 7-0 to keep it. Some Hillary supporters think these tactics are a good idea, but they do her no favors. They seem to be enraged that so many who post here have no interest in voting for a bought and paid for corporatist, so they try to silence us. Then they have the nerve to demand our loyalty. Good luck with that.

the opposite of being democratic!

This place will become quite empty soon.

Don't yall dare bail out. We need you here!! You can't leave us here with all these PUMAS!

Hides are a sign you've been passionate. Hides are a sign you have pricked them. Hides are good. Hides are healthy!

I felt my blood boiling and wishing harm to them and their children. I knew I had to get their ugly words out of my sight. It is like reading the comments on a Yahoo new article. This may alleviate the anger..


seriously, I want to vote for what would be best for the 99 percent in November, but I know if I read their words, I would never vote for her. Never. This is the only way I can even see a glimmer of a chance.

This Sunday, Bernie is in town and next Saturday I get to caucus! Yippee. I hope it isn't the last time I vote for someone with a D after their name.

You are too intelligent for the swarm. They always just end up looking like fools if they try to debate you.

It is sad that the owner's of this site are turning it into a neo-liberal DINO site.

Until then, be very well.

Please stay.

Best wishes!

A more progressive-leaning site.

.org

We are losing key members which is sad. I didn't think we would lose MannyG, WillyT, and now you. This is sad freakin sad tbh.

Jackpineradicals.org!

After more than a decade in this place, I can't quite figure out why in hell I should stay, either....

totally lucid. But it's like pearls before swine. The owners of this site have clearly chosen to play this card and don't deserve our continued support and clicks. I guess they figure they don't need us any more either, so I understand your motives.

On the other hand, I am loving some of the push-back that I see here from progressives and still think it is valuable to have some articulate posters telling the truth for all those who read here but are politically unsophisticated and/or who simply lurk to become educated--especially during this primary season. DK has also shut down progressives and if we simply disappear from well-known sites it will be like the media shut out of Bernie's campaign.

So I'll probably stick around a little longer, but I'm not particularly adept at dealing with bullies. If Bernie doesn't become the nominee, I will find other things to do with my time and energy. Life is short and getting shorter.

If things settle down a bit I hope you will reconsider. Good luck and best wishes.

they pull me back in.

I am going to limit my posting but damnit, I can not tolerate lies instead of facts, smears instead of truths, and bullying instead of adult communication.
