I am going to keep this simple. I am leaving myDD for a while, because I believe that this blog is no longer objective.

I am glad that Jerome is trying to bring things into objective view, however, I honestly believe that his support of the Clinton candidacy has unbalanced him. Although I like Jon's writing, Jeromes has become sort of rambling ...with statements like "Hillary really needs to talk about Guam" ... and the like.
So. Quite honestly . I am not drinking the kool-aid.

If MyDD is becoming more objective by Jerome banning lots of supporters - how are we to know which ones. Once he hits delete, that voice is silenced. They can't tell you that they're gone.

Obama is the choice of progressives, myDD was once considered a bastion of support and data for the progressive community. ..

Clinton , however, is an establishment candidate pure and simple. There is nothing progressive about her. She's more than willing to do things like declare Iran and its guard, as a terrorist country - which is a pretense for military action. As she is to vote wholeheartedly against the grain of progressivism by voting for the Iraq war.

The Democratic party is not unlike the discussion at myDD. There are many who are in support of Clinton, who think she is "more qualified".  Fine.

But the entire discussion has, in my view, soured myDD and made it a worse place to hang out.  Clinton supporters were quoting polls in NC from shady sources. Clinton ads were used as the core of the message for front page posts. Polls from Fox News Agency and Dedicated threads supporting Fox News Conferences are being front paged.

Putatively this is to enhance discussion about the two candidates. However, at what price?

I recall when I Was in college, when those who hadn't really studied were reading for their final exams ... there was a sense of tension in the air. Normally I would just leave, and go to the movies that night before. I studied hard the weeks up to it.

And I would get an A.

And so I'm leaving here now, just as I did, essentially, when the work I did for Obama in my state gave him a 64% to clintons 20% win in this state.  I didn't worry at all on election day.

And frankly. I am not worried about next week.
Perhaps I should be.

But I am going to do that somewhere else.

At least for a week or so. I can't shake the possibility that I am not objective. So I will take care of that issue.
Somewhere else.

Take care myDD'ers and happy posting!!
