But if you look back at the posters no longer here, you will see more “Hasn’t agreed to TOS” and “Account Active” than PPR.

I never said DU didn’t have a large Sanders base during the primaries, it did. There was a large, vocal Sanders base and a small vocal HRC base. Then there were the people (like myself) trying to interject truth and objectivity. I found myself at odds with both HRC and BS supporters (and I was admittedly pro-Hillary). I also said they all weren’t self exiled, but a large majority were. And those who self-exiled because they were no longer allowed to bash HRC were indeed a bunch of assholes.

One does wonder, doesn't one, on the very night of DT's SOTU Hekate Jan 2018 #35

I really don't mean to piss anybody off, but these Bernie/Hillary threads need to be put on hold. MelissaB Jan 2018 #36
