Bernie is a wonderful caring man.

Good morning Donkees.

I am glad you posted this in the Bernie group instead of the Democratic Primaries group.

I haven't joined the Democratic Primaries group.

I find it offensive.

It is no ones business who I support !!!

I will read the responses, but I won't join until a later date.

P.S. I sent my check in.

Thanks again for the address.

on the last day of this group.

It might be a 'few weeks' before they open a new group, so don't know if I'll be posting either. It seems though that access to the new Bernie group will depend on being a supporter of him in the primary forum.

I didn't know this was the last day for the Bernie group.

Damn, they really hate Bernie on this site.

If I don't hear from you for a while, thanks for your help, your wonderful photos, and your posts.

I will miss you until your return.

See the ''Announcement Forum''. Maybe this group can have conversations in the ''Populist Reform of the Democratic Party (Group)''


CANDIDATE SUPPORTER GROUPS

Sometime tomorrow, we will close down the existing candidate supporter groups. Within a few weeks we will open new candidate supporter groups, incorporating some changes which we will announce later.

5. The Primary group is a cesspool like the General Forum is. Too bad it's not open

to real duscussion of real policies and potential. I miss those kinds of discussions.

All it appears to be is a place to cheer on your choice as long as your choice is one of three or four anointed people. Any Sanders thread that could be a discussion of Sanders deteriorates into a bash fest by the usual suspects. I haven’t bothered joining because it’s toxic to even read.

Sad. Wish we could have a place for great exchange and debate of ideas but those days seem gone.

11. The Primary group can be trashed and it will clean up DU nicely.

I imagine there will be a protected place to discuss Bernie when they get the new groups set up. I hope it's like this one. There is a lot of good discussion on FB, just look for Will Pitt on FB and follow him.
