My God - What happened to this place?
I haven't been here much recently but am completely stunned at what I'm seeing. This forum is unrecognizable. If I didn't know any better, I'd think it was a Republican website, with all of the attacks on Democrats with little positive discussion about our own candidates, issues, etc. just vicious smears, accusations, name-calling, "my candidate is an infallible god, your Democrtic candidate is a corrupt/naive/arrogant spawn of the devil and anyone who supports him/her is a stupid idiot."
What I'm reading here is virtually indistinguishable from the content of the most virulently hateful right wing websites.
What in the hell happened to DU?
wait til Hillary takes the nod by pulling out the super delegates card and Skinner starts the Bernie Purge.
it will be glorious!

14. Before 2008 it wasn't this ugly
Back in the early days people took in the information from the posts more completely before making a reply that was good, bad or just indifferent. People came here for knowledge and not for one-ups-man-ship and bombastic turnabouts. I still come here to see what's going on but its much harder to gain any knowledge because there is just so much B.S. one needs to sift through first.

2. Some I think are Republicans... many are independents or socialists... seems few are Democrats.
Its disturbing.

EffieB, the state of DU is due to "blue-on-blue" Progressivier-Than-Thou and Victimier-Than-Thou urination matches and purges. IOW, it's the true face of "Progressivism".

Most of us sensible folks realized DU was a s**t hole years ago. Welcome to the club, EB

Thanks. The foundation of DU was hating on George Bush and other Rs. Which they are free to do. But that any DU member would not understand that cultivating and feeding on hatred and bitterness, as they do, would inevitably result in that hatred and bitterness being turned inward on each other gasts my flabber (and that's not a pretty sight!).

They're like muslims. IF the entire world consisted of muslims, after they conquer everywhere, the shia would be fighting the shiites. Muslims know nothing but war. Whoever won that battle, they'd fight each other for some unknown reason.
Want peace? Drop the bomb, kill all those f*ckers and wars across the globe would drop to nothing.

Except for that little incident when Bush won the election and DU had to shut down to the public for a few days so that the world couldn't see the meltdown. That might have been the Dawn of the Age of the Mole.

2004 & 2008 were bloodbaths at the DUmp. For different but equally entertaining reasons. Those of us who have been regulars at CU & here for that long know what I mean.

I was around for 2008; 2004 was just before I joined.
Damn shame the site admin never bothered to back up his shitty server.
