100. It's not just Hillary supporters who leave DU you know. I just took a 4 month break from DU

Sep 2015

and the only reason I am back is because of all the news stories I was seeing about how well Bernie is doing and I was curious what people were saying about Bernie on DU. I get tired of being attacked for not shutting my mouth and supporting whatever Democratic nominee there is no matter what. In fact, if Bernie doesn't win the nomination I will probably have to leave for good because you're not even allowed to talk about third parties on this website.
