(8,812 posts)I always enjoyed your informative, principled posts.
Although I haven't officially left yet, I've essentially eliminated DU from my daily routine.
Life is too short to try to keep countering smug neo-cons masquerading as Democrats.
I'm reminded of an episode from the old Mary Tyler Moore show, where Rhoda takes her first sick day in nine years. The previous time, she explains, she watched a soap opera, where a woman was having a baby. "I watched today," she tells Mary, "and that woman is still having the same baby!"
That was essentially my reaction upon returning to DU after an extended absence. Nothing had really changed. No real progress had been made. It was still the same petty, depressing, corrosive environment I left.
There are still many here who are valiantly fighting the good fight, but they are undermined left and right by the messengers of the rich, privileged, and powerful.
¡Buena suerte!
