2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm with him and he's with us. Berning 'til July!
I support Bernie Sanders for president. I will continue to support Bernie Sanders for president until he concedes or wins. Until he concedes or wins I will continue to support him as he is still in the race. It's that simple. I will not be dictated to support someone else while my candidate is still in the race. I will ignore the media if they call if for someone who doesn't get enough pledged delegates before the convention to win without the superdelegates as they don't vote until July.
If that means getting kick off a web site then I really have to consider if that web site is really worth being a part of in the 1st place.

(46,179 posts)This privately owned site can censor us; we knew that coming in.
I'm not really sure how far Skinner will take that; I'll have to go back and read his announcement again. I don't think he means that we can't talk about Sanders. I hope not.
I will certainly be supporting Bernie Sanders until he concedes or wins in the real, uncensored world, which is what counts.

(46,179 posts)I'm pragmatic that way. DU is what it is, and it's not the whole conversation. I'm not going to argue about where Skinner et al. should draw the line on his own site; it doesn't hurt my feelings. If DU becomes a neo-liberal echo chamber, I personally don't think it impacts the real world in any significant way, and I certainly have plenty of other people to talk to.
DU at this point is simply a place to talk to some people I've been talking to for almost 14 years; to keep in touch. I don't have to talk about Clinton to do that.

(99,710 posts)Not you, but with one billion websites on the internet I find it perplexing that some people are upset they won't be able to attack the presumptive Democratic nominee here.

(7,638 posts)participation is purely voluntary. You clicked and agreed, that's on you. I think you would feel more comfortable at another site perhaps?

(9,905 posts)And yeah, jpr is better for me because I don't have Clinton supporters nagging, alerting and nagging me. Great x-DU's there too!
It's not just getting kicked out. It's also that don't want to be part of Hillary's Third Way Bubble.
