GDP is a sewer right now

A thread peddling the bullshit that Trump will crush Hillary already has around 60 recs

What the fuck happened to this place

The people that rejoice at the thought of the Democratic nominee losing to a babbling right wing demagogue is not a fucking Democrat

Maybe we all should.

Besides, I'm becoming more and more convinced that some of these posters aren't even Sanders supporters. I think they're just rabble-rousers.

Yes there are some that are just angry that Bernie lost and so want Hillary to lose so they can feel better. But I just know there are trump trolls here running around.

It's just killing them that Bernie is getting trashed by 99% of the media and dumped by millions of his supporters. They are lashing out and they are disgusting to me too but.....they are losing more everyday.

So enjoy their ranting. It's a sign that Bernie is fading fast!

with the moronic bullshit and I swear he must have the patience of Job.
I for one am looking forward to the end of the experiment that was community moderation.
It worked for awhile, until the primaries brought out the crazies, now it's done and this site needs a high colonic.

instead of trashing threads we should just walk away from this right wing cesspit until it becomes something other than a right wing cesspit.

Skinner has promised that things will be changing after the primaries. Not sure why he would be OK with allowing the trolls and nuts to hijack his site and ruin its reputation until then but that's up to him.

I'm out till DU cleans up its act.

I don't understand why he doesn't just nip it in the bud, especially since it's clear as day that Hillary will be the nominee. There's no room for debate anymore.

Definitely by the Sanders' campaign's bitter enders - the reasonable ones have already realized the game is up - all that is left are the malignantly crazy and the crazy with grief.

We are also, most probably, being brigaded by our mortal enemies in the alt-right. Vile gentlemen who have decided to come over for a good old fashioned troll. Proper villains but hard to distinguish from the Bernie's witless cretins. Until next Wednesday when DU returns to back to the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party.

The worst part is not being able to post news pieces covering HRC throwing shade at Trump. Post them in GD and they get locked; post them in GD and they will get scat thrown at them.

Still, come Wednesday the 8th HRC will have over 30 million in the bank and one monster to dump it on.

They don't give a flying rats ass about helping Trump get elected, just as long as they have St. Bernard. Just like the Nader assholes in 2000.

Hillary is going to win the election. Trump will slither away and hopefully never seen from again, along with BS and his charming wife.

I think Trump's strategy (and that of his supporters) is to post as many negative things about Hillary (here and elsewhere), in order to drive the point home, subliminally, that she's a bad/weak/(untrust)worthy candidate. while at the same time trying to prop up Trump by associating his name with terms "presidential" and "America" and "great" and other positive things. He knows he can't win on merit, so he's gonna play dirty, just like he did in the Republican primaries, except he's gonna be in for a rude awakening once the general election commences.
