44. It was a bloodbath.

Wed Sep 6, 2017, 10:53 PM

Sep 2017

I forgot my old password and followed the procedure but got no response, so I lurked until the Admins allowed new account setups after the hack.

What I saw were people of both sides that I liked at eachother's throats, trying to rip them out. Alert stalking was commonplace and triggered on a hair. It got so bad I left and tried another site where things were not as bad, but the format there sucked, so I came back. With the Our Revolution people mouthing off, I would not be surprised to see Democrats savaged in primaries in 2018 and if Our Revolution lose the primary, them supporting independents in the general while attacking the Democrat.

There are some that I don't miss, like the poster MannyGoldstein, who ALWAYS attacked Democrats, but I never saw him go after a republican.
