is straying away from what I first thought it was in 2012. It's turning into the same hate-fest as most other political forums. I hate to admit it, but it almost feels like someone is giving people orders to come here and start shit. People claim to support certain political figures, then use them against either Obama, Hillary, or the party in general. It looks weird when:

a. You're attacking the same party more than the other party.
b. You have more negative posts about a candidate of the same party than positive ones for your supposed candidate, and...
c. You click on positive posts of a candidate or political figure of the same party just to write something snarky and negative.

I'll be honest--I wouldn't put up with this at all if I had a similar site. If it's obvious that people have nothing positive to say, and just want to start trouble, out they go.

I don't think the TOS is as strictly enforced as it should be. It clearly says to "don't be a wingnut", but people continue to act nutty and post lies about 2 of the party's most popular figures, despite their accomplishments and popularity even among self-proclaimed liberals.
