This used to be such an awesome site to use for late breaking news and progressive views of the world. Then, the 2008 presidential election/primary where Queen Hillary wasn't the nominee and it all went downhill. Even the 2004 election, where not 100% of everyone was behind Kerry was bad, but NOTHING compared to how things were after 2008. Sadly, the PUMA's got their revenge in the 2016 primary and anyone who did not lick the taint of St. Hillary was called a communist, a closet republican, a misogynist, a woman hater, etc.

Of course, it should come as no surprise. Does no one remember the Great Gay Purge? Where DOZENS of highly esteemed DU'ers were banned solely because they were gay? I do. I remember that well, because those people were my friends. Then in 2016 anyone who was remotely critical of Hillary was FFR'ed. There are people who have been "flagged for review" for MONTHS and no response from Admin.

Of course, it really should come as no surprise, seeing that admin works for DNC and also runs that cesspit Discussionist (like FR but without the pleasnatries). So he's taking money from both left and right wingers, and DU has definitely taken a right-wing turn since the 2016 primary. We used to stand up against DINO's but now they're embraced. We use to stand up against non-progressive policies but now, pragmatism is the key and if demos' have to adapt Republican policies such as anti-choice and anti-woman laws to be elected, then that's just how it is. Up is down and down is up.

I have not donated to DU in years. I will not line the pocket of a DNC shill and his lawyer wife.
