I've felt that DU lost it's community and humanity (not that it wasn't always a bit of a crash cart..).still there was a hard core group that did work for change from "experience" activism not from a "brand," catchy logo, marketing thing.
What you say about our "Idealism" for those of us of a certain age/experience. We may take it harder than the younger ones because we are thinking of our LEGACY...what we Did to Do Good and to leave the world a Better Place... And, there's some sense of loss there that is nagging at us in particular that makes these times tougher for us with our perspective.
WHAT YOU SAY, YES!...that's the frustration:
"We were so hopeful in the 60's and we tried so hard to make the world a better place."
