Response to Ron Green (Reply #18)Tue Sep 15, 2015, 08:26 PMNanceGreggs (17,513 posts)28. DU is currently only "essential" ...... as an echo chamber for BS supporters. And the OP is evidence thereof.The "narrative we're getting from the media" has long been held as unreliable at best, and total bullshit at its worst, by DUers since the inception of this site.However, one can't help but notice how the media - even the RW media - is now quoted here as unbiased and accurate when they publish anything that is pro-Bernie or anti-HRC. Suddenly heretofore scoffed-at MSM sources are hailed as unimpeachable.According to the site's owner, 85% of DUers are BS supporters. I think we both know that Bernie doesn't have anywhere near that kind of support among Democrats in the real world. That speaks to how far afield this site has become from reflecting what is happening in the real world among real Democratic voters.As an echo chamber for Bernie enthusiasts, DU has quickly emerged as the go-to site for those who require high-fives and bouncies every time someone spots a Bernie for President! bumpersticker in the local mall parking lot. As a Democratic-supporting site - as DU once proudly held itself out as being - there is no room here for anyone who thinks Bernie isn't the be-all-and-end-all Messiah about to lead the masses into the land of progressive milk-and-honey.The reason there are fewer and fewer posts in the Hillary Group is not because she is losing supporters - it's because DU is losing the interest of those who want to deal in the realities of the 2016 election, rather than pretend that DU has a grasp on those realities.
