I remember when much of DU was demanding a primary opponent for Obama in 2011-2012.
There was no primary candidate anywhere in sight, but much of DU's "top liberals" were demanding it.
Obama was a corporate shill after all. Gonna kill Social Security. Blah blah blah.
I said then that the folks screaming about a primary opponent for Obama were wasting their time, and that they should get busy building up "sufficiently liberal" candidates for the 2016 election.
I predicted that if they did not do that, and do it quickly, by 2015 those same folks would be screaming about Hillary.
Well ... here we are.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
