(31,319 posts)I read your entire post. I could have written it. I can't quit DU but it's not the same. it's really not the same. too much bullshit and i think it's trolls, but the trolls are being fed by DUers who are not trolls, but for some reason do not seem to be grasping what is actually relevant right now (that our government has been hijacked, our democracy is in peril, and we need to work and work hard on getting trump and the republicans GONE in time to save it). instead they get pissed at democrats or Bernie, who caucuses with the democrats and is more liberal than most democrats and has been begging his base to vote democratic since the day his candidacy became mathematically non-viable. That was the day i switched my support to Hillary, and that was an education. The bad rap Hillary has gotten through the decades is stunning, really.
this is not limited to DU. I can't watch Young Turks any more pretty much, and it's basically the same thing.
When trump used the MOAB it was hours before i learned about it, and it wasn't on DU. Time was i had all the relevant news first just from hopping on this page a few times a day. no more.
i haven't found another home on the web for me, though i have looked. sigh.
