Just paid one of my periodic visits to JPR...

[brooklynite]

Apparently Warren is a capitalist Wall Street sellout, and Sanders has to make Gabbard his VP choice.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Are they still around?

Sounds like they've gone off the deep end.

[yardwork]

32. They've been drowning since day one.

[catbyte]

2. OMG.

You've got more patience than I do! If I go on that site, I'm immediately irritated.

[radical noodle]

3. I go there about once every two months

just to see if they're all still delusional and yep... they still are.

[comradebillyboy]

4. One sees that argument on all of Reddit's pro Sanders subs...

[jcgoldie]

5. Sorry

You shouldn't do this to yourself.

[zackymilly]

6. Are there Bernie Bros? Pumas? BoB's? n/t

[Amimnoch]

19. They don't call themselves that anymore.

didn't like all the negative billing it deservedly got. Many even try to argue that they never existed now.

"this is not the Bernie bro you are looking for"

[efhmc]

7. You do realize that there are those of us who have no idea what that is.

Goggling it now.

[Celerity]

11. here

[Hekate]

22. OMG, Manny stepped down from JPR last October? What has he been doing for personal entertainment

...since then? If he's back here, he's adopted a new persona to hide out in, because his old persona was unmistakeable by any other name.

[Tarheel_Dem]

25. I can only guess what his new DU moniker might be.

[Blue_true]

43. My guess?

He would pull in the most honored aspects of our party into his DU name. Then try to avoid having us figure him out. Honestly, he was all negative on democrats all the time, I just don't see him avoiding detection for long.

[Celerity]

30. I have no idea who Manny is, tbh, I have looked at that Jackpine place a couple times, they

HATE Buttigieg, and seem so bitter on life. It did not interest me at all. If I want to talk to actual socialists (as many do openly admit to being at that site, for which I at least give them credit for honesty), I have plenty of those in my real life (mostly non-US), and they are not all twisted up like those people on that Jackpine site.

Bottom line for me is that if people really are actual socialists, then they will always be out of power here in the US, a member of a tiny fraction (unless you count a very small number of very scattered local levels). IF socialist politics at a national level is truly their number one driver in life, then perhaps they should look into moving elsewhere, to a proportional representative country where they can actually get elected or be represented by an elected party in a parliament. Either that or just accept that their entire political life is going to be spent on the micro-fringes here, and that pretty much all their grand plans are never going to be actualised. Is that harsh? I do not think so, I think it is reality. I guess some live in hope for a dissolution of the American union in the coming decades and then some breakaway part does indeed go to a proportional representative form of democratic government. I hope they are as young as me, because they are going to waiting a long time for that to even become a possibility. I also shudder to think of the destructive forces that would need to be unleashed for such a rendering to actually occur.

[Hekate]

34. Third Way Manny, Three Way Manny, whatever nickname yanked people's tails...

...was one of the very few here I gave up even trying to talk to. I ended up doubting he actually believed in anything at all.

As for those who left to form JPR -- yeah, unhappy people.

[Celerity]

38. based off a DU search, it must be this one, as there are so many threads by/about him/her

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=176002

Seems like they loved the drama.

[Blue_true]

44. Some honest liberals followed Manny and a few others to JPR.

So not everyone who went over there were bad people.

Manny and his crew spent gobs of time on DU ripping President Obama and prominent democrats. They couched their attacks by calling forth the most novel principles of our party to cover themselves.

[JonLP24]

31. I follow him on Twitter these days

I think he supports Warren but still likes Bernie.

[treestar]

15. Jackpine Radicals

a site formed by people who left or were kicked off DU because they were entirely dissatisfied with "corporate" Democrats like Hillary and were mad for Bernie; so it's not surprising they are now mad at Warren for running against Bernie.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

8. Is this how high-falutin' campaign financiers spend their time?

I had tea and crumpets with George Soros yesterday. He said he was trolling Daily Kos.

[brooklynite]

9. I've been to Soros' place twice...I think he served wine.

[BannonsLiver]

14. Seems like the OP hit a nerve

[Cha]

24. Right.. he went all George

Soros on him.

[OilemFirchen]

28. Pretty telling, innit?

[Cha]

29. Yes!

[RandiFan1290]

18. OMG LOL

[still_one]

26. You and I are not always in agreement, but on this we agree. Some seem more eager to create

flamebait

[mcar]

10. Warren is a Wall St sellout?

And of course, they want Tulsi.

[Blue_true]

45. Yeah, I had a big LOL on that one also.

Sort of like saying that a grizzly bear that is eying me like dinner is a kitten.

[NYMinute]

12. Some threads on JPR are funnier than The Onion

What is scary is that it is not satire and those people really think that way.

[treestar]

16. I just read some of it

How is EW not a progressive? What issue positions do they think aren't? Insanity and Bernie-obsession.

[Hekate]

21. Cute. It probably helps if you know which time zone they're in. For instance, the time stamp I see

...for the OP is 7:00 AM -- but that reflects my California time zone, and I have no idea where the OP is posting from. Could be posting on his/her personal tablet at breakfast, lunch, or breaktime.

Not exactly my business, is it?

[melman]

23. "I have no idea where the OP is posting from"

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say NYC.

[Hekate]

36. Morning breaktime then

[Hekate]

20. Hope you wiped your shoes before coming back in here. Better you than me-- thanks for the report.nt

[revmclaren]

27. JPR members tried to purge all of their past posts

just before they went under new management. Fortunately for those who would like to take a peek at some of the most vile anti Democratic posts you will ever encounter on the internet, or familiarize yourself with the past posts of PPRed (Posting Privileges Revoked) and FFRed (Flagged For Review) past DUers who fled to JPR rather than voting for Clinton in the last election. Knowing the writing styles of past banned DU members really helps to spot returning trolls. The Wayback Machine has hundreds of archived pages from when JPR was created until just recently. Too bad for some that nothing really disappears on the internet.

But wear hip boots and a gas mask. It's pretty bad stuff.

Here's the link to the Wayback Machine. Just put in www.____________________. Sorry...won't post JPRs URL here. Follow the links and happy (or unhappy ) hunting as the case may be.

https://archive.org/

They also have a huge archive of past DU posts going back many many years.



P.S. : I will soon be posting a link to an online author analyzing program that will help identify if a new or suspicious poster's post is the same as a previously banned poster, using just writing samples.

ONLY!!! 2019 and beyond.

[Hekate]

37. The program you mention ought to be very handy for MIRT!

[revmclaren]

40. Yup. There are much more advanced programs

available that I'm studying. Will be trying out those soon.



ONLY !!! 2019 and beyond.

[NurseJackie]

33. It's amazing that two dozen participants keep that site going.

They're total losers!

[ecstatic]

35. Wow. The trolls are getting really lazy. Wall Street sellout?

Who the hell is going to believe that one? There's no target audience for that line of attack.

I guess having 25+ candidates was a good thing. The trolls are confused and exhausted.

[TreasonousBastard]

39. Since you brought it up, I went over there for a laugh, and came away with...

a rare form of diarrhea.

I'm better now, but I can't wash my eyes of a former long-time poster here (who I thought was reasonably intelligent) with a Marxist rant that was 100% backwards.

Many Marxist rants have some grain of truth to them, or at least a rational background if you accept some of the facts. This one, however, started from complete nonsense and went downhill from there. I'm not sure that even Marx would have agreed with it.

[honest.abe]

41. Warren a capitalist wall street sellout!!

😀

[ismnotwasm]

42. Ugh.

THOSE assholes. Forgot about them
