80. Well, a possible Hillary win was one if the reasons I created this group

I knew that DU would need a format to criticize the corrupt establishment, without it being an anti-Hillary extension of the primary (which would get us all tombstoned). I've been on this site since shortly after it was created, & I'm not about to just walk away after 15 years.

And Bernie's not out yet. There's still about 30% of states still to vote, including Cali and Oregon. Let's see what happen over the next month.

In the meantime, I encourage you (and all others who demand reforms) to post in the Populist Reform Group. Let your voices be heard.

I LOVE IT! NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #1

And I'll be the second! Clearly, with both me and NYC_SKP on board, it's a big tent! ;-) villager Nov 2014 #2

Hell, look at who's hosting this mess. Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #38

Did the third-wayers realize they were creating a monster!? villager Nov 2014 #39

Oh, I think they are aware, but think they can beat it back. Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #40

True enough -- they rely on progressives being routinely dismissible villager Nov 2014 #41

Uproot a stagnant DNC-type party structure or 2 Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #42

Aren't we progressives being reprimanded/encouraged by the center-right faction to do just that? villager Nov 2014 #54

Well, they asked for it. We should accomodate. Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #55

We should accommodate... in spades! villager Nov 2014 #56

And without violating any board TOS. merrily Nov 2014 #53
