Quick Scan of Discussionist shows....
It has turned into pretty much a right wing echo chamber. Either liberals left out of disgust or the conservative gaming of the jury system to get rid of liberals worked. And game it they certainly did! Did not really matter what you posted if they wanted to silence you. Every post was jury swarmed until they got enough conservative majority juries to kick off a liberal. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would think cons would use the system honorably.
I tend to think it's a combination of both libs leaving in disgust and cons gaming the jury system, with a heavier emphasis on the latter.
I hope it's a failed experiment. I don't think right wing nut jobs need yet another place to bash liberals. Especially given that it's a site created by DU founders.

5. I don't even bother scanning it anymore.
I threw in the towel awhile ago. Turned into a cesspool. I still get emails from them.

Have you noticed how many DUmbasses claim mental illness as a badge of honor?

14. Not just crazy. They are nasty bullies.
People I wouldn't spit on if they burst into flames before my eyes. They are the type of people that make me lose hope for humanity.
In other words they don`t proclaim that you have a right to everything free of charge.
Crazy talk that is.

especially during election time that is why I rarely post anymore along with others I know but we check in or comment when we see the bull being put on DU and some believe it.

36. I suppose as a honey trap for ranting idiots
in order to take some of the pressure off MIRT.
Or maybe they wanted to see if conservatives had grown up enough to discuss things with liberals without trying to eliminate them. Uh, no. It's the reason I won't go there.
While I have known thoughtful conservatives online, I can count them on the fingers of one hand.
The rest of them are petty, spiteful, mean, and vindictive.
The irony meter just spun itself off the wall.

49. Left in disgust
I'd rather punch myself in the face, over and over, with a rock.
Based on the average DUmbass in picture threads it would likely be an improvement.

56. I enjoy the Discussionist...
...although there, I'm perceived at the libbiest lib who ever libbed, while here I'm hated for being the worst kind of conservative ever.
But yes, the Discussionist is much closer to the real world than the D.U. is. No wonder so many of the screed-writers here can't stand it.

57. I went there for a while
and it was truly a disgusting RW garbage dump. Lot of racist hate, misogyny, homophobia. It's a disgusting place for any decent, fair and balanced person. It's a failed attempt. I never understood DU people creating that site, but maybe they just wanted to give us a quick place to go to see what is wrong with this country through the words of people mentioned above.....sick place.
Truth,it BURNS!

To have it be owned by the owners of this site, makes me a bit uncomfortable.

Question for my fellow CCers who participate at the Discussionist site:
I last looked at the site about a month ago and the libs still out-numbered the conservatives at least 10:1. Has that changed? Has the ratio of libs to conservatives grown closer?
Something tells me the libs still outnumber the conservatives there by a wide margin, so this "turned into pretty much a right wing echo chamber" is just some dolt saying they had to read something that wilted their delicate flower. Am I right?

10 libs for ever conservative. Still true.
Conservative don't buy the magic Liberal arguments that work so well at DU.
I remember one thread that was all angry we didn't use DemocratIC party. And we all laughed and made fun of the faux outrage. No lib has whined about it since.

I would say retard to Conservative ratio goes about 7-8:1 now and more Conservatives show up all the time. They're just pissy because their arguments/cut and paste bullshit get accurately ripped up and even some of the saner libs don't put up with the (D)U type nonsense.
is just some dolt saying they had to read something that wilted their delicate flower. Am I right?
Exactly. Any counter argument, whatsoever, instantly draws the race card from the transient (D)Uers. It's funny to read the threads that abruptly end with proggy silence. Yet, there are a few, very few, that will acknowledge a point. Very few.
The other fun thing was watching nincompoops like Mr. Dorkio, Cardinals82(sp) and few others disappear like some of the (D)Ummies in that thread.

You overstate and need to get over yourself. You're no Conservative and you get spanked regularly. You consider yourself a moderate. Survey says: Barely. But, you're right. It's much closer to reality than the cesspool.
...and no proggies, the jury system is not rigged by Conservatives. :thatsright: Stupid people. I actually find it rather fair, since it has settled in. They're pissed because the saner libs won't vote lockstep to hide everything Conservative that's alerted on. So , of course, it's ......

Thanks for the answers to my inquiry. I figured as much but would rather document the truth from those who are there.
They can't handle dissent. Same as the primitives who have political blogs but either shut off comments or make it where you have to be a member of some social network in order to post.

88. I haven't posted there in almost a month because I got bored playing with the morons
Dealing with stupid assholes can be entertaining only for so long, and my patience was exhausted with them.
For one thing, they're much too ignorant to even understand how ignorant they even are. Frankly, I have no idea how they've lasted for so long in this world.
My account is still active and if I felt like embarrassing those rocket scientists some more, I could do it. The problem is that there's no more fun in it for me.
I spent my time there trying to understand why they are the way they are. Instead of finding some complex reason for their behavior, the answer, as it turns out, is quite simple: They're really, really stupid.
Not to mention the fact that they're also driven by hatred and fear of everything unlike themselves. The things that they're incapable of understanding confuses them and they respond in the only way they know how. Which is why they're utterly racist, sexist, homophobic, why they hate poor people and why they don't understand the real world outside of the right wing echo chamber.
Basically, they're hopelessly stupid and hateful and they really don't think that there's anything wrong with it that.
They're like little robots powered by right wing bullshit. Frankly, if I was a white guy, I would be embarrassed by them.
In other words you got your pineapple head handed to you so you ran away.

136. There are still a number of liberals on this site
Many of the worse conservatives are on vacations right now and several of the remaining conservative posters have four hides and are being very very careful in their posts.
I have fun with the conservatives on this site. They are not very bright and are fun to play with. I also have a high tolerance for dealing with stupid people and love poking fun at the idiot conservatives on discussionist

147. I disagree
The fact that the conservatives are unable to answer this OP with facts is what counts. The conservatives on the discussionist board are idiots and are unable to deal with with facts. It is helpful to expose these idiots to facts and I enjoy watching the conservatives fail when they try to deal with facts.
I have a high tolerance for stupidity and I enjoy playing the idiot conservatives who post on the discussionist board.

Yeah. I dunno why Atman's being so grouchy.
Ever since ownership and management of conservativecave took me to the woodshed for being "mean" to him, we've laid off, barely mentioned Atman at all.

I think Rob has been treated with kid gloves from day one.
Someone untalented enough to get fired by a political junk mail company months before a presidential election, someone dishonorable enough to live off the labor of his wife for years since, deserves much worse treatment than he's been afforded here.
And then, after bragging about living in an exclusive neighborhood (thanks to his wife), he has the gall to show up at a wedding in that atrocious Dollar General suit.

It pisses me off something royally.
You might recall that earlier this year, Atman complained to the ownership and management of conservativecave about how "mean" franksolich is to him, and consequently I got called on the carpet for it.
I tell you what--it especially wounds the heart to be chastised by Chris_. It's not in his nature to be stern, and he didn't like doing what he had to do.
To keep from losing my position here, I agreed to lay off Atman.
The deal being, I figured Atman would lay off us, if we laid off him.
I was wrong.
Well, the gloves are now off again, and they aren't going back on until Atman recognizes a gesture of kindness, of magnamity, of accommodation, when it's extended to him.
Idiot.

It seemed mainly because the knucklehead thought his professional life was being somehow hindered if I remember correctly.
That was months ago and Rob is still a useless,unemployed loser so I guess he was (as usual) lying.
Perhaps another "special" award at Franks discretion can be found for Rob to celebrate what an epic loser and failure in life he is.
