238. That tells me how to take posts authored "bigwillq".

Nov 2015

And I will.

I take posts from many others with more gravity.
For me DU is also a place of learning.
I don't like it that Catherina is saying goodbye, and I don't like it that I understand her reasons and think she's probably making the best decision, for herself, for her development as a person.

I see a complete fracturing of the Democratic Party, as expressed on DU.
But it's an asymmetric fracture. On one side is $money$, $war$, $MSM$, $war-profiteering$. There's no war atrocity that these fuckers wouldn't sign onto. No plundering of natural resources, or of people who might get in the way. On the other side is a people with no established power, yet being the most sizable population by far.

Catherina is on the good side of that split.

That's one reason why I don't think your derision is funny.

Good question. But I know Catherina will be sadly missed! sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #33

Have no idea. Lots of pretend Bernie supporters, fake Liberals crawling out Catherina Nov 2015 #50

Pretend Bernie Supporters? Who are they? randys1 Nov 2015 #79

You can't be that naive. The Cave has launched an all out attack. Sign up as a Sanders rhett o rick Nov 2015 #169

Lol, me too. But it isn't Sanders supporters that runs that new cave. sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #192

I don't think the referenced Cave is new. They've been around for years--they took out Andy. nt MADem Nov 2015 #196
