I no longer look forward to going on DU.

I thought I'd found a cool spot where folks gathered with like-minded caring liberal attitudes. It helped me keep on top of what was really going on in the 2012 election.
But since this primary has gone into high gear, I just see a lot of childish, senseless, personally harmful and bullying posts—from both sides.
I.E.: fellow DU'rs being banned and others celebrating it. Lord, I wouldn't be surprised if someone celebrated the death of a member they disagreed with.
I now try to only stop by to read the latest headlines, but I occasionally get sucked into some of the primary BS—just in the past 2 weeks my list of banned people has gone from one to a dozen.
Sad.
Maybe this post will get me into trouble for talking bad about DU, but it's the god damned truth.

1. I hear you. I'm here less as well...

It's very discouraging to see all the unpleasantness.

There's a couple of non-political groups I check in with.........and then I'm gone.

I will be thrilled when this damned primary season is over.
