Thu Jan 25, 2018, 02:33 AMThe Straight Story (48,121 posts)It's been 12 years since I made this video for DU, and 14 years since I joined DUThis was the video from back then, still relevant now (and I hope you all remember Andy, he is not forgotten):Youtube link: https://youtu.be/a-10_iPus9gAnd now, all these years later, I take my final bow (yeah, had one or so before I admit) and am leaving (haven't been around much lately, life gets in the way but I still came here to read things).Skinner has abandoned his ideals and principles. Discussionist has become nothing more than a right wing cesspool backed up by skinner and earl. Ask the admins here rarely gets anything from the admins - because they don't care enough to be here day to day. I stick to reddit now(which has its own issues to be sure). DU is just a shadow of what it once was when it comes to progressives and fighting for what is right and the leadership we once had here is totally gone. I am truly saddened at what has become of this place and skinner. During the bush years we were together (though we fought with each other a lot) and worked to get Obama elected. And we didn't give him a pass on things like Yemen or blowing off single payer. This isn't "Democratic Underground" anymore. At least not as far as I can tell. The owner sucks up to the right wing (on DI) and when it comes to causes he isn't around hardly ever. DU has sold out. I will keep fighting for progressive values and ideals, as I have done everyday for many years. But not here or DI. What has become of you Skinner?
I hear Reporting San Diego is looking for new owners!
