(20,709 posts)There is no "center-right" contingent on DU other than trolls who get banned. There are a few specific issues, like guns, where there are some DUers with conservative views, but on the whole, the DU spectrum runs from center left to far left.
Yeah, JPR does have some people opposed to Trump, but for the most part it's a pro-Trump site, complete with links to Alex Jones and all sorts of right-wing fake news sites. And calling JPR -- which consists mainly of angry white dudes happy to toss around bigoted slurs -- a "diverse population" is a joke.
And the thing is, I know exactly who JPR is made of because those people used to be here on DU polluting the discussion boards with the same kind of junk. It's just that at JPR they don't have to pretend to be progressives anymore, so they are able confirm everything that I already knew about them more than a year ago. We had Bernie or Busters here before the primaries even started. They were Trumpists before there even was a Trump. This is not a diverse group of thoughtful people, they are people who hate the Democratic Party and want to see Republicans elected.
