Most rational people don't care for abuse and insults, and there are plenty of places to get political information besides DU.

In fact, we had quite a few Sanders supporters run off DU, if you'll remember.

Seems like I got run out of the HRC group for posting ONE TIME. That's the story about Hillary supporters on DU!

That's why 4 out of 5 of those you mention are now represented by "Name Removed".

Come on, can't we all just make it up as we go. You shouldn't be the only one allowed.

Happy Saturday!!!

with workmanlike efficiency, knowing your 6-1 jury pool advantage would keep anyone who dares speak up for her in durance vile for the next few months. Little wonder then that you dominate the conversation.

I would ask for a cite regarding your 9-of-10 new member numbers, but I think we both know from whence that figure was pulled, don't we?

There are tons of trolls everyday, some are "for" Hillary some are "for" Bernie. Most of the time they are here to disrupt, and MIRT saves us from a lot of it... Just ask Name Removed.

DU does not accurately reflect the makeup of the Democratic Party. This place is like 90% Bernie supporters, and that is not true of Democrats in general.
