General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Thank you Skinner!! [View all]Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)There were a few threads on DU recently (including this one) about the "people who didn't vote for Clinton in the general election aren't welcome here" edict. Someone on JPR noticed one of those threads and started a JPR thread about it. In that thread, in the post you linked, someone talked about "snooping" at DU to see if the statement was true.
Did you read the whole thread, or just the post that your dear friends at Conservative Cave helpfully highlighted for you? The whole thread is very informative about whether people at JPR would engage in a sustained "counteroffensive" to somehow take over DU. It's replete with comments that support what I said -- that the vast majority of them are disdainful of DU and think it's become worthless ("Good riddance to them as far as Im concerned" and the like).
In fact, the very post you quote has some relevant language that you chose to elide. For the benefit of DUers who didn't bother to click on your link, here's what your three dots obscured:
I sneek over and snoop infrequently and did see the OP in question.
That "lost cause" view is very common and is what would strangle any "counteroffensive" in its cradle. We can add the obvious point that there hasn't been a wave of DU posts defending a vote for Jill Stein. As everyone on both sites knows, any such posts would be quickly removed, so what would be the point?
BTW, by citing to that thread I'm not endorsing it. This would be obvious to any thinking person but these days McCarthyism is rampant on both DU and JPR so I feel a need to mention it.
Another thing that's seen on each site is the pointless vitriol directed at the other.
