Should be very interesting.

Hillary vs Bernie on DU? Having trouble pulling it up. It seems relevant to the discussion.

Assholes of the highest order. Ive never seen so much assholery on this site before. Between the trolls and Skinners rack-up-as-many-hides-as-you-want amnesty, this place is turning into a cesspool. Its no wonder most of the best have left.

I thought things were just about how I remembered them during the 08 primaries. But as time has gone on, things have just gotten uglier.

And way less committed to Fair Elections.

being so shocked at this point when I see republican talking points here.

I think that, like the MSM, Sanders has been a positive for revenue at DU. Churning increases clicks and ad revenue. With the Sanders supporters "suppressed" and the paid posters gone, things could get tough around here. Or maybe I'm wrong.

I definitely think it's real. It impacts which threads rise to the top and it impacts jury results, as well as people getting hides or getting put under review.

Many of the new low-post accounts have stars, too, actual donors.

And the quality of information- Actual news that I used to get from DU has dropped precipitously.

A lot of alerts these days. I have alerted on only 1 post my entire 9 years here, I think censorship sucks. I did finally give in though and have built a decent ignore list, keeps it tolerable or I wouldn't even hang out here anymore.

I've seen jury results, so some of it is alert stalking (managed to go years without hides before this primary) but my point is I'm pretty low on the "percent chance".

I try to be fair, though. Maybe some of us are getting extra if they see us being honest?

when the Bernie supporters leave, and those who have star memberships take their support elsewhere.

Money talks, especially when people decide to walk.

... then Skinner is going to be mighty lonesome.

"Rah-rah, sis boom bah, look at the lovely slate we're offering on our menu. No substitutions." lol

One way or the other, it can easily be funded. Though that could dry up if most of the eyeballs park themselves elsewhere. This is a lot different than 2008, imo.
