I don't know what this is about, but I feel bad that you were made to feel unwelcome.

Best wishes to you.

Rules change during election season, then change back after election.

I'm sad you feel unwelcome here.

I'll miss your posts! Bye and best wishes!



(P.S. Hope you take a break and come back soon)

There are plenty of places on the Internet to run down Democrats. DU is for those of us who want to help elect Democrats.

Take care of yourself.

(I am now trashing this thread because of the classless, nasty responses you are about to receive )

Sorry you don't feel welcome here. This is one of the best progressive meeting grounds on the web.

and disruptors in general. It's unfortunate that the situation got to that level but things change. This is definitely the worst election period I've weathered around here.

I hope you'll check in occasionally and see things improve. DU has historically been a great source of information and camaraderie.
take care.

This place was getting unbearable for a while, but in the last week things have changed a lot.

I am not sad to see the pro-Trump anti-Clinton crowd gone.

making the "both sides are the same" bullshit arguments and I'm glad they've found a new home. Good riddance.

I've been doing the same thing since 2008, but am moving into a new place. Still miss some of the people here so I do check back in; change is hard, though it's getting easier as the regimentation increases. Skinner's house, his rules - so those of us who disagree can find new digs.
