In reply to the discussion: Could this be the birth of Free Republic 2.0? [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)193. " ... started as a support group ...
... for Bernie and his supporters, because he was being bashed so liberally here."
DU was comprised of 85% BS supporters throughout the primaries, which meant that 85% of the jury pool were Bernie supporters. Anti-Bernie posts were alerted and hidden, while anti-HRC posts were left to stand regardless of how utterly vile they were.
So let's stop with the pretense that Bernie and his supporters were the ones being bashed. We all know what went on here; we all lived with it for a year.
If you want "fear" and "paranoia", JPR is the appropriate site. Posters there are constantly railing about how the entire country will be devastated by an HRC presidency, and are convinced that everyone who doesn't support Bernie is part of a vast conspiracy that stole the election for Hillary.
