I wish I'd paid more attention to the Sanders group in 2016, so...

... I could have some sense of the significance of the posts in the Democrats 2020 Sanders group. Does anyone have opinions?

Fortunately, most of those folks departed for JPR.

That said, I've never seen the need for these "bubble forums". I don't need to be isolated from critical opinions.

Edit: I see that the 30 pages that are visible there are from March of this year. So it stands to reason that the population looks the same as the Sand.ers group in Democrats 2020

Post before edit: It, too, was almost totally dominated by one person, from beginning to end. So is the Bernie contingent in DU in 2016 a myth?????? Not a total myth, because of the % he gets in the Primaries forum. But still!!!!

no one person was the dominant one. But those pages appear to no longer be archived and I think it is true that many of those posters moved on.

I'm not criticizing current Bernie supporters with that comment--only stating what appears to have happened.

An unusual percentage of the hosts are no longer participating on DU for one reason or another. I think that's interesting... and that's all I have to say about that, so I'll just leave it there for obvious reasons.
