At one time, you could trust what was posted on DU to be solid

[liberal N proud]

If it wasn't it would get ripped to shreds in a matter of minutes.

Even in the decisive campaigns on 2008 and 2012 and other times, it was fairly well trustworthy information posted on DU. The last several months it has become a big propaganda machine and you can't trust most of what is posted. The integrity is gone.

I post this here because anywhere else the parties that have polluted this discussion board would attack it as they do.

Rant off!

1. I agree. I've been here since 2004 and I have always told my husband that this is where I get

my news. I liked that you couldn't just post any old thing, there needed to be a link to a trusted source.

This is the worse I have seen it.

2. This board has as much viscous right wing lies

As free republic, drudge etc.

It's sad.

3. If you don't trust television, radio, and newspapers for "news"...

then "bloggers" become the 'reliable sources'?

This is also known as "The Decline of Western Civilization."

4. Let's hope that changes

...and soon!

[Walk away]

5. I don't care if it stays this way forever. Other places are just a click away!

[William769]

6. Not anymore. DU has been hijacked.

[comradebillyboy]

13. Will DU even be able to function after the primaries?

Can Skinner afford to be as hard on Bernie followers who decline to support the Dem candidate as he was on PUMAs in 08? DU overwhelmingly supported Obama in 08 so the loss of a bunch of Clinton supporters was no big deal, but Bernie supporters are a big majority now. Can DU stay democratic?

[William769]

14. at this point, I don't care.

He's made is bed, now he has to lie in it.

[bunnies]

23. I just excused myself from this jury. Good luck. nt

[William769]

26. Seriously That was alerted on?

Thanks for letting me know.

[bunnies]

28. Yes. And I would have voted to leave.

But I always opt out of juries in the Clinton room out of respect. Looks like you survived. Good jury.

[Tommy2Tone]

7. I trust this group

because I trust Hillary. Always have and always will. Plus I dearly love Billy.

[SunSeeker]

8. K & R

[MarianJack]

9. I genuinely detest...

...how this site has become "BernieUnderground" with an apparent litmus test of blind loyalty to a candidate who is NOT a Democrat but who IS benefitting from a boatload of right wing/Republican/teabagger PACs spending a boatload of money on his behalf trying to secure the nomination for the weakest potential candidate in 40+ years!

I anticipate an alert & hide for this post. Expression of free opinion is apparently no longer a desired commodity here.

PEACE!

10. You nailed my sentiments exactly

And the reason I posted in this forum is to avoid that crowd in my rant.

[Stuckinthebush]

12. It won't be long

Bernie will drop out in a few months and throw support behind Clinton. Heads will explode here but so be it. Then, we will deal with a few weeks of Clinton-hate until the nasties are thrown out.

[William769]

15. we have different views of the future.

Sanders will not do that. You can take that to the bank.

[Stuckinthebush]

16. You don't think he will support Clinton?

God, I hope you are wrong. That would piss me off mightily.

[William769]

21. After the stunt he pulled last night

And his vague threat today and don't even get me started about the debates.

YOU BETCHA!

[liberal N proud]

25. Don't forget that Bernie wasn't a Democrat until he needed to be a Democrat

When he loses, I suspect he might just take his toys and go home.

[yardwork]

11. The right wing filth posted here is sad.

[handmade34]

17. yes, used to be able to have somewhat rational discussions...

I actually will be happy with either Hillary or Bernie but feel right now Hillary would be best person for President. My fear is that the hate towards Hillary (in trying to defend Bernie) has become so strong that should he lose, otherwise good Democrats will sit it out

right now, we all need to be looking to put Democrats into all offices... the President does little on his/her own

[NurseJackie]

18. I agree. Also ...

I post this here because anywhere else the parties that have polluted this discussion board would attack it as they do.

Yes, this group is mostly protected from direct interactive attacks (in the form of posts) but the alerts continue, so one must still proceed with caution.

[Cali_Democrat]

19. It really sucks what has happened to this place

The coin flip thing is just the latest example.

[GusBob]

22. Yep it is still going down

Why post about something you know nothing about? Just to show how ignorance works?

It's laughable

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. It's because BS & Trump supporters are fairly interchangeable. I think that's why neither won last..

night. They couldn't decide between the two.

[book_worm]

24. The thing is many of Bernie's supporters here are not Democrats

they are very left leaning liberals or progressives of the type who don't care that voting for Ralph Nader in 2000 helped George W. Bush. It doesn't matter because Gore wasn't pure enough for them--and by golly it was more important to make a statement than vote for Gore. I'm certainly not saying this of all of Bernie's supporters here but I do believe that it is a significant number.

[Kilgore]

27. Oh No, a Nader Bomb

Your playing with dynamite!!

This could turn very ugly!!

[FrenchieCat]

29. Folks over there and other forums tell me all of the time

They ain't voting if it ain't their man on the ballot....

or they use it as a bludgeon.....if one says the wrong thing.

It's hard to take, because it shows where some of their priorities lie....
and it ain't about who's gonna have a GOP Trifecta if we lose!
IN reference to that, the attitude is that will teach us all a good lesson!
So you can't reason with that kind of mentality, IMO.
