(5,044 posts)DU's purpose is electing democrats, to do anything other than that is contrary to the purpose. If DU were to become a place (like its attempting to do right now) where harming democrats is permitted, I'd have to permanently walk away. I donate money to DU, I spend a lot of time communicating on the boards, I could not be a part of something that is destructive to the party.
I think Skinner has attempted strategically to let this all take its course, let people vent, etc. However the wind is changing, you've got Bill Maher telling Sander's supporters to knock this garbage off. You've now got Howard Dean, it's HOWARD DEAN speaking out and Sander's and co are acting as if he is some shill.
I suspect that if Hillary does as well as it looks on the 15th, it's game over. At that point, it would be highly unlikely that anyone else would be the nominee.
