I very seriously doubt that I'll be renewing my star after nine or ten years. I have no problem if the owners/administrators have their own political preferences, they are human beings just like the rest of us. But the perception that they are administering the site according to their own biases and applying different standards to members based on which candidate they support is real and it is widespread. So I'll probably be redirecting any contributions I made to DU, directly to the Bernie Sanders campaign.
