Could this be the birth of Free Republic 2.0?

1019. Okay, respectfully believe that, aside from exposing posters

on both forums for what they really are when it might be a positive move in DU, this sort of thing gives JPR and its wingnuttery an importance well beyond what they deserve. They're not a big threat but rather more of a curiosity. It's a little satellite site of DU, created in response to DU, that performs a real service by concentrating some of the worst hostility and dingdongery over there where no one notices. Usually.

Notably, there are also a few thoughtful people over there. How they tolerate what is currently predominantly a hate site I don't know, and that is suspicious, but they obviously want a site where anti- Democratic Party ideology is mainstream. Good luck to them in creating a viable one with these others following them around.

Whatever, for all their input is badly outweighed by the all the irrational nastiness, a very few things like this are also posted by people who apparently manage to not be too affected by what is seems to be a potentially infectious exposure to uncontrolled hostility:

I've thought about that argument because I'm also not in a swing state. At least, I don’t think it likely that New Jersey will be in play.

My reason for not voting Green is that I don’t want to encourage them. Given the current structure of American political system, third-party politics is a thoroughly noodle-brained enterprise. If there are enough progressive voters to elect the Green Party candidate, then there are enough of them to nominate and elect a progressive Democrat, without having to overcome all the advantages that the system gives to the two major parties.

Anecdote time (proves nothing but might be interesting): Some years ago, a leader of the Green Party in Germany was traveling through the US and wanted to meet with like-minded people here. I was then chairing the New York City Group of the Sierra Club, so the German embassy, which was coordinating his trip, got in touch with me to set up a meeting when the visitor was in New York. We naturally talked about politics. His very strong view was that, as long as we have the single-member-district-plurality-election system (instead of Germany’s proportional representation), it would be a mistake to work outside the two major parties.

That last should not be mistaken for an endorsement of our party from this person, but it's also not the typical scurrilous lie.
