I didn't leave DU...

DU left me.

Been here for 12 years. DU as a whole was ALWAYS a big supporter of Bernie.

So really...I'm the same guy politically I was 12 years ago when I registered at DU.

DU just ain't the same site it was 12 years ago.

There are some great voices there, and I will be leaving for there soon too.

simply because I've been here so long. But I've been only lurking the last few years and will go into turbo-hermit mode here. I haven't donated in a couple years for a slow move to the center here...just like I stopped donating to the DNC about six years ago. I don't give money to folks that think I need to fall in line. I got your line right here. Lol

Maybe I'll see y'all at JPR

all points of view.

Maybe you will make your way to one or more of them and/or replace some of your posting time with another pastime.

I joined about 10 yrs ago, and recall how often Bernie was quoted and had video clips rolling on DU. He's been a iconic progressive fixture here since forever. Now suddenly he's "the enemy".

Things change. I guess that's just how DU rolls.

and simply avoid Hilary forums. That is the
best way to avoid the numerous Hilary trolls.
