Has anyone tried to visit DU's ugly step-sister: AKA Discussionist?

It's populate entirely by mouth-breathing conservative jerk-offs, as the jury system is routinely abused to boot any liberal or progressive voice. But if one were to attempt to reach the site today, they would be directed to a "Black Lives Matter" website.

It tickles me, because after witnessing the pouty group of incels as they mindlessly flail against women, gays, blacks, and any other group to the left of Bull Connor, I can only imagine their impotent rage at the sudden inability to access their safe little bunker.

There are so many hate filled websites I'm sure they found a new "home".

But I also like the idea of them trying to log in only to be redirected to the Black Lives Matter website

I'll have to dig a little deeper and find their whiny ass posts in response to the closing.

9. Some of them might end up at our ugly step-child site, JPR

and goof up that site even worse than it is now, if that is possible. They will have in common their obsessive all-consuming hate of Hillary and disdain of Obama and Biden.

There are a number of posters there who also post on DU under the same screen names.

Internet righties are generally cowards who hide behind multiple internet personas.

15. "Yes, Trump scares me. That's why I won't vote for Joe Biden" - one of the JPR "gems" today

another one:

"If you vote for Joe Biden to 'return this country to normal', you are a FUCKING MORON"

Just a little sample in case some might think I'm exaggerating about the bizarre nature of that website. Most of them probably were once good progressives, but one or two bad acid trips too many took its toll.

If I provided a free platform for racists, fascists, and deplorables of all stripes, I would be ashamed of my own reflection. The world is a marginally better place without that cesspool.
