... what is wrong with DemocraticUnderground in that it allows such posts to stand?

The TOS, which set out the rules by which this site was supposedly governed, has been thrown out the window. The joke of a "jury system" now prevails.

RW trolls, who were once immediately banned, are now free to post anti-Democratic bullshit sourced from RW sites.

Democrats who support the Democratic president on DemocraticUnderground have been under the bus since he took office. Democrats who now support the Party's front-runner, HRC, are now under that same bus.

Is it any wonder that OPs/posts urging Democrats to NOT vote for the Democratic nominee in next November's election are not only permitted, but wind up on the Greatest Page (and, as a result, on the Home Page) of a site that still holds itself out as a Democratic website - despite all evidence to the contrary?

If the Admins want to allow DU to be an anti-Democratic site, that's their prerogative. But they should at least change the site's name so that actual Democrats aren't misled into thinking that this place is at all reflective of the Party and its members.

Imagine being a Democrat who finds this site for the first time and, hoping to find information about the upcoming election, is met with "DON'T VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT IF IT'S HRC!"

Nice job, DU. Really well done.
