In reply to the discussion: It's pretty obvious around here that Obama can't do anything right... [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)27. Yeah, what a waste. No one will do anything about it, either. One of my DU friends found a Reddit
forum that is more liberal and she says that it supports Democrats consistently. Ideas and people and how to effect policy to meet their needs are discussed. No 'ratfucking' ala Donald Segretti.
BTW, I linked my OP on that to some posts. That's what I'll do more from now on out:

Yes, I see them. I'm not fooled.
It's been a great ride here and I don't regret the great people here such as in this forum, but I'm going to email her and hope she's online this week, although I doubt it. She's got a very busy life offline and it's almost impossible to catch her on the phone.
I'll check it out and see if I can wipe the stench out of my mind for a while. I'm sure my troll fan club will see this and high five each other. I'll post until I find a better place than DU, just to keep my mind active, but won't be making much effort. I have a lot of OPs waiting to be posted, but, meh. Anyone wants to use what I have in my Journal as talking points, please do.
I'll drop in after I get settled, post some pieces from there and will surely miss the great features the Admins made here. This isn't a GBCW post, though. I'll be around.
This place will never support any Democratic campaign or our causes again. You cannot organize under such hostile conditions and speak freely as is needed for that. The nonstop negativity and the outright misinformation we have battled here has destroyed our creativity. Period.
It's a shame that the excellent technical achievement which Skinner, EarlG and Elad worked hard to create suffered a hostile Libertarian take over. The big money finally proved that money equals speech, not people, and they beat DU.
The fact they are winning with Koch money behind them only makes them feel more proud of what they've done here. They are building their Ron Paul nation at DU. They will get more bold as time goes on, I've already seen long-time posters kowtowing to them.
Think about that for a minute, please. I'm not encouraging anyone to go, but understand what is coming. So many have left here, too many. Their voices are no longer heard.
I don't believe there are many Democrats left here of any kind, as the 'hard left' have revealed themselves as Libertarians now. They played both sides agsainst the other and are laughing at the Admins now.
See you guys later.

OP
I don't even bother to offer the facts, they don't want them. The pipeline was proposed in 2007.

attention seeking and that's putting it nicely, Skinner and the one that compared him to Shia
