6. It's driving people away from Democratic Underground

A few weeks ago, we got a new, prospective DUer. He made all of 4, count 'em 4, post before a storm of anti-Bernie rants drove him away; his final post was: "That's it, I'm out of here!"

I would add: Have you noticed the "Whatever happened to........" threads? People have been leaving' admittedly not all of them were because of the storm of attacks on Bernie; but, I'm sure a lot of them were.

DU is becoming mostly older, most centrist to center-right, and I think it's getting smaller.
