2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: UPDATED POST: Frankly, My Dears, I Don't Give a Damn [View all]Juicy_Bellows
(2,427 posts)You've been posting here much longer than I, no doubt. However, I see most hateful RW posts and interlopers dealt with rather swiftly. Are there coy posters that skirt the rules? Sure, but mostly there is a passionate rift between those that support Sanders and those that prefer Clinton and a smattering of O'Malley supporters here and there.
Having said all that, I think the climate has shifted since 08 and DU is a decent place to post with some awesome contributors. It boils down, in my humble opinion, to the fact that a lot of us are still striving for meaningful change. We haven't given up. I commend the admins to mostly allow healthy discourse. I don't think we should shit all over each other but as I said passions are high. If you think traffic is down now, wait and see if Clinton secures the nomination. This place will be a ghost town.
