30. Sad to say ...

... DemocraticUnderground ceased to be a Democratic website years ago.

It is now just another political message board, where people are free to post anti-Dem rhetoric without interference.

According to the Admins, the jury system now sets "community standards", and if that "community" consists of non-Democrats - or, more to the point, anti-Democrats - it is THEY who run the board.

When I signed-up here over a decade ago, I never thought the time would arrive when I'd say, "Hey, I'm SO OLD, I remember when DU was actually a site that promoted Democrats".

What has become of this place is beyond sad.
