Dude! Take a breather.

But I hope (and don't think) this group has become a sycophant echo chamber and someone may ask a probing question about Sanders or bring in some unflattering meme or news to discuss, analyze and hash out.

This is of course healthy.

I read somewhere that some fervent supporter of someone else has something like 110 posters on ignore.

If you have over 100 people on ignore.... should you even be here on DU? Is that helpful for finding out what's up with your chosen candidate? Are any questions and criticism a "disruption"? Are we here to just smile and nod our heads like a bunch of cattle?

I hope not! I don't see that here. But compared to GD.... it is an island of calm.

Here.... have a seat. Want coffee? A lemonade?

Love ya, but that doesn't answer the question. You don't have to go to the home of the bullies. merrily Aug 2015 #20

GD:P is not their home and neither is DU. Bonobo Aug 2015 #21
