23. I Understand Exactly Why You Want To Leave, It's Gotten So VERY

Nov 2015

difficult coming here these days. I've left many times before myself, but what I'm seeing her at DU now is extremely toxic. So many times I've begun to feel like I'm blogging at a Repub blog. Not sure it should be called DEMOCRATIC Underground anymore, it's begun to lean so far to the right. I've been a Democrat all my life and that's many, many years... I don't recognize these new type of Democrats.

I'll be posting less and less myself. I don't think I recognize this country anymore, and I am VERY AFRAID where we're headed.

WAR, WAR, AND MORE WAR! Neoliberal, Third Way & DLC. Not the Democratic Party I know anymore.

Hope you find some peace, but it seems hard to escape any of what going on because our own Democratic Party has made the decision that we should have only ONE candidate and the other two can go pound salt. THIS isn't DEMOCRATIC!

More and more progressives are leaving. Getting bullied off this site. Don't let them win. Stay rhett o rick Nov 2015 #21
