Remember when Hillary won the primary and we lost a bunch of obnoxious voices here
to a site named JPR? I'm glad that group is gone.

I got curious about their new site these days. It's still in operation, and now they're posting stuff like this:

The Biden Administration does not want peace or a cease-fire, and Zelensky is their puppet.
He’s also no doubt intimidated by all the Nazis surrounding him in the Kiev regime. The Jews used to have a word for that back during the Holocaust, but I forget what it is.

Biden and Zelensky want to fight to the last Ukrainian.
Once I thought there was a little humor to that remark – now it just seems like a statement of fact.

As my Ukrainian wife in Poland said, “If he is such a “generous uncle”, let him take this weapon and go to war, he set Russia on Ukraine, like a dog teased, teased, and eventually hid in the bushes.”

Both Ukrainians and Russians continue to be killed on a far too regular basis, and Ukraine itself continues to be destroyed. Biden just doesn’t care.

The fact that the US just continues to send weapons to Ukraine makes me wonder why. Does the military-industrial complex run State Department policy?

I do not know of any other group that would benefit from sending weapons to be destroyed or capture and distributed elsewhere in the world.

7. When did Hillary "acknowledge she is toxic"?

8. This isn't about Hillary running again. It's about a site that appears to be a Russian asset,

whose member base was drawn from DU.

I think they were here, trying to turn DU their way, and when they failed they set up another site.

10. I don't think the OP is about Hillary at all.Mentioning her places the discussion at a point in time

Then the OP refers to a group of former DUers active at that point in time. Then moves on to “what are they doing now?”

It’s of interest to those of us who were here then and had to suffer through their tantrums. Turns out — yet again — that the breakaway group was never about Democratic Party or Democratic principles.

14. She did no such thing...she barely lost and won the popular vote...don't get me started on why she

lost...let me just say I will never forgive the 'but her email crowd' who foisted Trump on us.

18. Stop. Just stop.

HRC is not "toxic." The misogynistic a-holes who hate her and lie about her are toxic.

Also, this has nothing to do with her running again. Not everything is about that.

4. There were never very many of them.

And they have made themselves further irrelevant by their actions then and since.

My advice is to ignore them. They're not worth the time or effort.

21. The same group goes back farther than jpr.

To PI and OET.

There is one who trolled us for years and then JPR. Actually got TSed by JPR. She goes by clarity of signal.

24. I read something recently

where all this political finagling with Facebook by the Mercers' little project of siphoning off all our data, gave them really, really, precise "intel", for lack of a better word, to "nudge" just enough people in targeted counties to vote a certain way. It's a mass marketing strategy, only aimed like a laser at every last detail of your personal foibles. Distrust "big government"? Check. Like guns? Check. And so on.

You only need a small percentage out of millions to make the tactic pay off.

I wonder how many folks get "tipped" and never come back to any kind of rational balance on the subject. Sure, Joe Biden may be your classic "neo-liberal", but does that make him The Devil that is TFG? You might as well vote for Cthulhu at that point. Which, of course, was the other option you were being nudged toward taking, a la Stein or Gabbard.

It's why they keep foisting candidates like Herschel Walker, and so on. They're betting you are just "low information" enough to take the bait.

Now if you can get paid for foisting such stuff, all the better, right? That seems to be where that group has gone now.

27. It's the past, and that is where I leave it..

I'd rather not concentrate upon division and strife, thanks.

This has got to be a time of great pain and confusion for the primitives, and it shows more and more each day.

Here’s a group that spent the 60s, 70s, and 80s telling anyone who would listen that the USSR is a model economy that the USA should look towards to emulate. Now, they have to claim they hate Russia and their authoritarianism while supporting policies that aim to silence opposition, and all the while trying to convince others that the very people who rejected their USSR love all those years are now Russian supporters. And they actually believe this is a salable product.

The JPRers are what all the DUers used to claim to be and what they all wanted the Dem party to become. But the Dem leadership decided they wanted to take this strange road of embracing corporate money, controlling the social narrative, and labeling anyone who disagrees as being anti-American. The majority of the primitives faithfully followed the direction of their leaders.

33. I like how awkward it is for the pro-Russia anti-America (meaning anti-Democratic Party) crowd now, the ones insisting Russian interference is a hoax. JPR types furiously typing conspiracy theories blaming Democrats, still love Tulsi Gabbard. No puppet, no puppet, you're the puppet.

Always backing the wrong horse, always wrong, only against things. Negative article about Democrats, comments all nutty CT's and lies about Democrats. Positive article about someone they like, comments all nutty CT's and lies about Democrats. They always insist everything's about policy when it NEVER is. They aren't interested. It's about hate.

Note “pro-Russia anti-America (meaning anti-Democratic Party)”. Anything that’s not pro-Democratic Party is automatically “pro-Russia anti-America”.

Take another thing said and flip it.

“Negative article about Democrats, comments all nutty CT's and lies about Democrats. Positive article about someone they like, comments all nutty CT's and lies about Democrats.”

….turns to a commentary on DU. See below:

“Negative things about Republicans, comments all nutty CT's and lies about Republicans. Positive article about someone they like, comments all nutty CT's and lies about Republicans.”

They unintentionally describe themselves. And then they do it again.

“They always insist everything's about policy when it NEVER is. They aren't interested. It's about hate.”

Oh, would some Power give us the gift; To see ourselves as others see us. -Robbie Burns. The primitives don’t have that ability, and they never will.
