I just strayed over to DU for the first time to read some threads. It was creepy. Not creepy in the sense of their politics which I disagree with - but in the total lack of any sort dissent or criticism of the party. I tried clicking on threads that demanded MacAuliffe's resignation and they had been pulled- ones calling for the party to move left- and that had been pulled- ones questioning the party leadership and they had been pulled as well. I tried reading a few other threads and they discussed nothing of import or seemed to have any debate on what should be done next. I saw virtually no internal debate on any issue. There were no arguments among facitons that we have here. I came away with a sense that the site was utterly ossified and totally monolithic in outlook.
