What the hell is this, a Stalinist purge?

What is sick is that the people responsible are either:

A) people that will vote for Hillary and call her a (censored) behind her back
B) people that will demand to be considered the "real" democrats and wind up voting for Mitt or Jeb, and blame WOMEN for why the did that.

I stay here not because I love DU, though I love many on that. I stay because I know the vultures are seeking to pick the bones, and I, and those like me, will NOT let them!

BTW skinner, if you want progressives to actually put so much as a dollar towards this site, here are two non negotiable demands:

One: consider a review of the jury system. Quit saying "we know it is not broken" like a broken record. There is smoke, if not fire.

Two: quit shoving ads for Discussionist down our throats when we log in. It is bad enough that that place is being used to some to harass YOUR ORIGINAL CUSTOMERS. Now we have to get reminders that we are the red-headed stepchildren. They will already have word of mouth, especially from the people that manage to somehow get kicked off here in between changing sock puppets!
