I've been here through three presidential primary seasons and this one has been the worst. It has been the worst country wide and I blame "social media." Not only Trump continuing twitting, but any word that anyone says, any gesture, is immediately posted, transmitted and analyzed.
I think that Skinner et al realized that they have created a monster with the jury system - some aspects - but did not want to change it in the middle of the primaries which I can understand.
I don't think that he realized how "unsafe" these safe places are, when the Sanderistas can chase us here, alert and hide our posts.
As for Fox news stories, I think that some of them are... news, just as the CNN and the MSNBC and the other networks are.
And, sometimes we need to know what the other side thinks so it can help us. Having a groupthink, even in a place like that cannot help, especially if there are DUers who are candidates for office in their hometown.
Many of us complained about the imbalance about hiding Sanders and Clinton posts and I think he realized it, but refused to intervene the way a teacher does in a kindergarten.
Thus... we will have to trust him that the changes will be real. An earlier system, where a moderator - not a host - could lock and suspend a member, often arbitrarily, was worse.
And, as you so well pointed out - we are guests here.
