What keeps me from becoming a paying member of DU...

The arguments... MY GOD!!!!!! the arguments.

Someone says they support Bernie Sanders... or Hillary Clinton... or that they're from Vermont ... seriously... FOR GOD SAKE!!!!

And they get an argument.

Shut up, discuss things like adults, and enjoy the discourse.

I'll keep my money and not have to worry about having paid a discussion board just to be argued with. Debate my opinions yes, but my goodness... just stop arguing. You have an opinion, we respect that and will rebut, but please understand that you are not the absolute authority. You may want to listen to other opinions. They may be instrumental in your understanding that Bernie Sanders is absolutely the only candidate that you should consider for the Democratic nomination.

Just listen to us. Concede, and relent.. then vote for Bernie

Go Bernie.

GDP is always hell on wheels during a primary.
Sad, but it hasn't changed in all the time i've been here.

I always wonder what new voters must think when they wander into this pit.

Are you saying that, somehow, I'm not paying my way?

What does that mean exactly?
