There is a new drumbeat going on...

...any time someone makes a comment about Hillary, one of the hive (or MORE than one) says this:

"This is a Democratic web site. Take your criticism of the candidate somewhere else."

Watch for this. Prelude to a purge.

What I'm wondering is if it's an administrative type of setup.

If I see a new one I block them too. I'm sure I'll get thrown out at some point if I don't quit posting on my own, and I couldn't care less.

It was like swimming in a semantic cesspool. I want to stick around to see how it all turns out and have my say at that time, but I was choking on the thick green cognitive dissonance. I decided to try the ignore feature for temporary relief. I started slowly at first. Now I have scrubbed my screen of spittle, and I see a new DU. It's funny, I see some petty sniping and some empty Bernie Cheerleading, but a good balance with updates on Bernie's platform, philosophy, and reasonable critiques of HRC's neoliberal, small 'd' history. I regret having to purge, but until this bullfight is over, I am going to sit in the meadow under the cork tree and smell the flowers.
