Goodbye, DU! You've won! [View all]

[Nedsdag]

Last night I was up all night after being lambasted for a post defending Susan Sarandon's right to say whatever she wanted.

I was called a liar and an enabler. I disagreed with what she said, but it was not my place to attack her for it. I was tired of seeing "See, Susan Sarandon what you have done?" thread. As for my criticism of Mrs. Clinton, I stand by what I have said. She is a brilliant policy thinker, but as a politician, she has shown to be lacking in the skills that made her husband and Obama more successful. Yes, she won by 3 million votes and yes, there were voting improprieties, but there was no reason for her and the Democrats to let Trump "win".

Well, DU, you have won. I am leaving.

And for those saying to me "good riddance!" and "goodbye", fine. This is defeating the purpose.

If the moderators do not like what I posted, feel free to ban me. I've already removed DU from my bookmark. There are other places for me to express my opinion. I can understand why others left two years ago to start their own website.

Do not get me wrong, I still believe in what DU stands for, but what I will not stand for is personal attacks. For this reason alone, after 17 years on the site, it's time for me to go.

I will vote for the straight Democratic ticket in November, but this is where this ends for me regarding posting here.

Goodbye, Democratic Underground.
