I hate it when I ask a genuine simple question and people give smartass answers and don't answer the question. Know it alls!

I'm just a lurker right now at Jack Pine Radicals but if Skinner shuts down dissent on Clinton before the convention, this place is going to be a crashing bore, full of Heathers, and bullies, and paid posters, and people who are so uninformed they make me want to cry, and propaganda not thought, and Stalinist "Big Lies" not information.

Do you know why the Soviet Union fell? I visited there in 1972. And it was unmistakable in the things that Russians said to us, and in scoping out the place, that Russians were BORED TO DEATH by the propaganda, by the lid on discussion, by the paranoid rules, by the enforced sameness, by the deadened spirits caused by enforced lack of variety, lack of innovation, lack of original thought, lack of visible rebellion. I don't know what ordinary Russians have now. I haven't been able to go back. But I know what was bugging them then: they were almost in tears from boredom!

That will be DU if Clinton gets her crown. It will be dreadfully boring.

I also think she will lose to Trump and us democrats with a small d are going to have a lot of work to do to bring the big D back to life. I've seen naked, open, blatant hostility to "leftists" here, possibly by Brock trolls, but who knows? Leftists have always been the life of the Democratic Party and if Hillary is paying people to kill us off, then that needs to be dealt with, after she loses the GE or wins one long impeachment trial--maybe by forming a new party. I doubt that DU will survive either Hillary scenario. It's just been too degraded by Hillary supporters and operatives.

So, I, too--a DU member since 2004, with almost 24,000 posts--will have to leave. I haven't made that decision yet, though, because I actually think that Bernie Sanders is going to be the Democratic nominee. And that could revive DU and the Democratic Party as well. We'll see what happens in California with our TWO MILLION new registered voters, most of them young, most of them registered Democratic!
