Keith Ellison getting thrown under the bus in T-minus 7...6...5...

240. That's generally what I do everywhere.

When I first got to DU, I was a moderate.

I haven't changed.

Yet, DU has shifted so far into partisan group think and speech that now I'm the hated left. I skip most of what I see here as simply not worth the time or energy, but there are still important topics and discussions that should happen.

Most of those, here, aren't even allowed anymore, or if they are, they inspire rage. That's the danger of a discussion site so censored for partisanship that it becomes an echo chamber and a place to practice group think and group say.

The other site is also censored, but less so. That means you might get offended, but more open discussions can happen.

I just look for discussions that I feel are relevant to the times and need to be developed, and skip the rest. Here and there.

One topic that I feel is crucial is the division in the party, but most of DU seems determined to pretend unity just like tptb did at last summer's convention. It's a danger that I can see coming like a freight train, but the track and engine and whistles and bells are being muted and/or silenced.

We were united in opposition to GWB. I think we all oppose Trump, but the unity isn't there.
