3. Same here

Slowed the "Latest" page WAY down.

4. Me too.

I was astonished how slow the Latest Page moves with GDP hidden.

6. Me too.

How'd you do that?

Edit: Never mind. Figured it out.

2. sadly, progressives have been systematically driven elsewhere

and most of the political discourse here has devolved into Clinton zealots and Obama zealots flinging shit at each other and everyone else, smearing poo on the walls and screaming at the top of their lungs.

5. I read the board every day but learn less than I used to....

this is one of my chief resources for ideas for my weekly newspaper column. But of late, it's mostly mean, pointless and repetitive trash-talking. Got no use for that.

11. Many of those zealots seem to be very recent

I hate to discourage new members, but maybe new members should be red tagged or something until the election. Not that some of our older members can't fling poo, too;-)

12. Where is a good alternative "elsewhere"?

I used to get on DU to keep up with what is happening, as our newspaper is the pits. Lately it has been depressing around here.

8. I think a lot of us are just finding other things to do until....

the poo-slinging is over.

9. ironically, this stage of the election seems to be issues free. Maybe it will get better in fall

10. We can only hope! n/t
