We've decided not to continue the "Latest Trump BS" forum, but "The Way Forward" is staying [View all]

"Latest Trump BS" was a new top-level forum opened just after Inauguration Day. The intent was to attempt to separate Trump's substance-free trolling from actual actions that were being taken by his administration. In practice, it quickly became apparent that the forum would not be useful, for a couple of reasons. First, the amount of misinformation being spewed by Trump and his minions is too great, and second, it was not easy for members to decide what to post where. The forum was essentially redundant with General Discussion and Latest Breaking News. When I asked members last week if they wanted to keep it or not, the majority opinion was that it should be retired.
"The Way Forward" will remain, since it has a more defined focus. This forum is for discussions about the future of Democratic Party and what Democrats are, or should, be doing during this time. At the moment, plenty of those discussions are going on in GD and elsewhere -- if the volume becomes too great (or too disruptive) for GD, we will start locking such discussions and redirecting them to The Way Forward. However, at this time we're not going to do that -- we're going to continue to allow members to choose where they want to post these discussions.
Thanks for your patience while we tried experimenting with these new forums!
