"This site only welcomes people who voted for HRC in the GE." (EDIT: Skinner clarifies his comments)

86. OK. I have no problem with that, frankly.

I'm here to help get Democrats elected to office. That's why I'm on DU. I fool around with some other things, as well, but my primary focus here is on GOTV, voter registration and the like. That's what the site is all about - electing Democrats.

So, it seems to me that anyone who doesn't vote for a Democrat for President in the general election isn't really here for any good purpose. I don't mind if such people go somewhere else. They get in the way of what this site is all about.

Following the election, we're not seeing some names who used to post here quite a bit. They told us that they didn't vote for Hillary. They worked against Hillary's election on a daily basis. Now, they're not here any longer. Good riddance, I say.

I don't ask people whether they voted for HRC in November. However, if someone tells me they didn't and voted for some third party or wrote someone in, then I'm done with that person. Period.

If they're not here in the future, I won't even notice, really. Some of the prolific posters who opposed the Democratic nominee, I do know of, and they're no longer here. There are, no doubt, some still here who did the same. I'd advise them not to mention that if they want to continue participating, now that Skinner has made it clear they are not wanted.

But I'm not going to ask anyone. None of my business, really. We have a secret ballot. I voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton in November. I don't mind one bit saying so.
