I said I was gone awhile ago, then get sucked back in.
But this time I'm gone.
The level of toxicity is monstrous, something I've never before seen within a political party. The level of toxicity is growing exponentially, and this is just July '15, the primaries have hardly started. The toxicity is orchestrated. It's part of a multi-million dollar campaign run by pro's. It's all over the internet but DU is the testing bed, or one of the foremost testing beds. We're being studied for how well we can be tweaked, provoked, enraged, and once some tactic has been shown to work it's everywhere. It's on facebook, on twitter, and it specializes in false flag hits.
I don't trust anything about DU, and I don't like the place anymore. Some people that I thought were friends, are most certainly not. That's the hardest part - but "it's the internet" so...
Progressives need their own forum. Not on DU. The owner of DU came out early with a dis of Bernie supporters in ATA, just before coming out sporting a Hillary logo and creating Hillarywoowoo or whatever site. That ATA smear has been reposted several times. I have no doubt that Hillary Clinton's campaign, with all that money, has access to DU's database. No doubt whatsoever. PMs aren't private from HRC's campaign. Nothing said on DU related to any candidate is private from Hillary's campaign. And all of it enclosed in a climate of absolute toxicity where there are no rules, no honor, no truth.
I'm done. Bye.
eta: and m******, re. that pm from last time I "left", yah, I'll check in for that.
