Is Discussionist fading away? Someone's got to say it. Minutes between posts in contrast to seconds between posts in DU.
Will this thread get locked.

DOOM DOOM DOOM!!!

1. Remember that DU is a LOT bigger and a LOT older...There are many more people here than there.
I was an active participant when it first opened up, and I'm there less now, simply because my life got very complicated. I'll probably be back.
Not to worry!

Peggy Will Be Back!!!

2. it's disgusting, as we know any site allowing conservatives would be. I can only be on there a few minutes before I am thoroughly sickened

It's hard to defend your wackaloon position when there is someone who can talk back.

40. It is fun challenging the conservatives with facts. The conservatives on this board do not deal with facts and think that Fox New talking points are all they need to win arguments. It is fun taking their positions apart. I do admit that I have a high tolerance for stupidity due to having to deal with Texan republicans

You do not allow conservatives on DU.

4. So many people have gotten five hides. There is scarcely anyone left. The admins may need to rethink the length of time out.

Nadin is still there.

27. Did you mix it up with the gun folk? There are too many of them over there. It is definitely a pro-gun site. I wouldn't mess with them.

37. They came after me in one thread I told them to back off. I didn't respond further.

30. The bad part is Then they probably come over here and make life more difficult for MIRT.

Sweetie. We've always been on DU. Half of us are MIRT.

50. Yeah, that place is really ugly about race.   
I have seen the repeat racist troll. Naturally he also hates women.

20. The Democratic party/leadership doesn't reflect its base And DU is a site for supporting Democratic politicians regardless of whatever third way dlc bullshit they spew

Just naturally makes it more restrictive I'd think

52. One of the interesting things about the place Is that it can be difficult to tell conservatives from self-described liberals on many issues.

True Liberals. True Conservatives.

51. It's amazing to me how they allow those supertrolls over there. I was there the other night and there were people cheering about Palestinian children being slaughtered. I was thoroughly nauseated by the time I left, but I did leave a post telling them what kind of trash they were. It's amazing to me how someone can live with themselves with all that hatred inside of them. They must be coughing up black phlegm every day.

54. I think they're from Stormfront. They're that bad. They hate everybody but white males, and they spew their sick shit with impunity. It seemed to me that the place had a lot more posts when it first started. There were some nice people over there. I guess they've all gotten disgusted and left, because I didn't see too much over there that was fit for consumption by decent people. There might have been a few posts in the "Life" section and a couple of others that didn't really have political views expressed there.

61. No, there are racists all over there. Jurors will hide really overt stuff, so if you get five hides you're off for 3 months.

Do we have links to prove this? Evidence?

68. I think it may be a spot That people go during the election cycle, once the strict enforcement rules are in place here. I know that if turd way wins the primaries, I will NOT be supporting them in the general election. Discussionist may be where I need to hang during the cycle if (hopefully not) that occurs.

The election is only a few months away and there just isn't that much info in the news. Is it because the world is burning while Barry golfs or is it the MSM knows how badly the DEMs are gonna take it in teh ass and just not covering the run ups to November?

You do realize you are posting this on a site that allows only one view right?

For some reason after reading the bolded I imagine the exchange below.

Conservative: Your lord and savor is the worst president ever.

DUer: Nope. Chimpy McCokespoon was the worst! FACT! The winnah!!!!

Conservative: Do you have any evidence to back that up?

DUer: Yep. I read an article about it at IhateChimpyMcCokespoonsguts.com!!!! Again…The winnah!!!!

Conservative: That really doesn’t sound like a place where you can find an unbiased article.

DUer: You just can’t handle facts.

Conservative: I really don’t see where you’ve given me any facts.

DUer: Did so. Gave you a website. If that’s not enough for you even Chimpy McCokespoon admitted that he was the worst president ever. FACT! The winnah!!!!

Conservative: Do you have any evidence of this?

DUer: Hard and factual evidence. My third cousin’s friend’s uncle’s daughter’s fictional sprit guide, Idiot Lloyd, overheard the janitor at a restaurant tell his assistant that he overheard a waiter say that a friend of Chimpy’s gardner overheard Chimpy tell the person teaching him to paint that the current one is a lot better. FACT! And once more…The winnnah!!!!!

Conservative is stunned to silence by the massive stupidity.

DUer: See. Conservatives fall silent when presented with facts.

That's Discussionist.  This whole thread is the reaction you'll get from the Libofascists when they can't just silence opposing views.  It's nothing more than the (D)Umper with opposition.  It's no wonder the usual suspects hate it.

There are more and more Conservative leaners popping-up all the time.   

Conservative: That really doesn’t sound like a place where you can find an unbiased article.

SSDD from the short bus riders.  Already caught more than one using dAiLykOOk.  Calls Breitbart, Forbes, American Thinker and we already know about FR and FoxNews of course, useless RW nutjob lying  cLimaTeDeieRz!!!!  When cornered, denies using daIlYkOOk!!!111!1 and disappears from thread.   Proceeds to use daIlykOOk!!!1111 again a few days later.  It's just (D)U with fact pushback.

Not sure if I already awarded my post of the day award.
If not it's you.
If yes, you have it locked up for tomorrow on a rain check.
Might have to borrow your dialogue snippet. It has a spiritual guide tangibility to it.
