We have our first 2016 Election Hillary is a whore post on DU!

42. So much to recommend in your post. I spend less time here, but only been here since 2010.

It was a haven when I first came here, meeting like minded people. While the mission statement says it is not the official voice of the Party, it drew in a lot of Democrats.

Although most of them have been driven away as the kind of negativity DU now thrives on does not work in real life. It either turns people of politics in general, but most especially Democrats. This has become our face to the world.

At first, when I began here, a victory for the people by the Democratic Party was sure to be celebrated and facts put out there. But people who took the time to research, analyze and post are few and far between in this environment.

It's in constant, unrelenting attack mode now. Republican opposition research is being done here, a number of posts here are cited in conservative and GOP sites to show that Democrats can do nothing right about anything. That they are in disarray, despite winning two terms for the first POTUS that broke the old mold and has benefitted so many. He is beloved in many parts of the world and they respect the USA more because of him.

The atmosphere prevents Democrats from feeling free to talk on anything meaningful, so discussion is reduced. DU was attacked by GOP trolls on its first day for daring to call out GWB. And we cannot tell how many people here are GOP or Libertarian, except by their posts, yet they are long term and waiting us out. Some low down tactics are being used to drive us away. That is why Democrats are leaving, as they see their fate.



What's sad is the Admins have worked to create the most user friendly site on the net. But it's being squatted upon by other parties who will attack all Democrats with no holds barred since they have nothing to lose by demoralizing Dems, and everything to win.
