(27,670 posts)who applaud and work for the very things I came here to unite with real progressive Democrats to fight against. There was a time when almost everyone here was united against the beliefs and actions of corporatism, neo-conservatism and the neo-cons. We had thoughtful, meaningful discussions about topics of critical importance. Brilliant progressive minds devised long, thoughtful, meaningful posts on critical issues.
It was a time when we were united in purpose, and the acronym "tl;dnr" did not exist.
It's not like that anymore. We can barely get out two posts without some jabbering corporatist strawman post disrupting conversation.
DU has been becoming increasingly more conservative and anti-progressive over the past 6 years, and this house divided is fast becoming a waste of time for many.
That said, there are a number of lovely, intelligent progressive posters, like yourself, Logical, who have come here over the last six years, and I believe that you would have loved DU back in the beginning of this century, because, back then, it was truly representative of the progressive values that you obviously believe in.
This is only part of how I personally feel, but I'm quite sure you get it.
And you know, I'm really not in the market for a good hard fracking, or another used car, at this time.
