The site rallied around Bernie meaning the people who supported him, but management did not and of course kicked many off for telling the truth about Herheinous.

I remember the surge in real new Kossacks around 2015 -- and yes, it was all about Bernie.

A year later, on March 15, Kos himself purged all those hungry hearts, and sent them here.

Of course, he's silent about that part!!

@Bollox Ref

2011 rallying around Occupy; 2015 around Bernie Sanders;

Erm, no.

Here we must draw a line, a moiety between the genuine progressive Joe Users over there at TOP who were supportive of Occupy and Bernie (like snoopydawg, Meteor Blades, several others I've surely forgotten, and myself) and the rightward-moving management of the place.

We did exist over there. Most of us are now here, to the great mutual benefit of us and good old c99.

(It's better over here!)

#4.1.2

Erm, no. I don't remember much love for either. The well-heeled 'meritocracy' poo-poohed both.

Seems il capo is trying to finger out which way the wind is blowing these days, for his next gig.

@gjohnsit

That no one called him on just shows how the site has fallen in line with the daily talking points. I will see someone post a definitive headline about something, but down below they post something that completely destroys it. Sumner is really good at doing it. Especially if someone bashes Trump and calls him silly names and then says something mean about Vlad.

Have you noticed the site disclaimer on the content of diaries? "This has not been subject to review by DK staff." Do you know why it's there? A fact checking website told kos that they couldn't rate him honest because,,,,well basically it's not. But if he put that disclaimer up they would give him a pass. Funny thing is though that Sumner is staff and he writes some whoppers frequently.

lol.

That takes balls the size of watermelons.
Or a complete state of denial.

sudden bursts of passion and energy...rallying... 2015 around Bernie Sanders;

Granted, the site did rally around Bernie. While Markos and most of the rest of the staff fought against him tooth and nail, and continued to do so right up until recently.
How exactly does Markos square this, I don't know.

OMG! You were right. No one pushed back.

and then the biggest burst of all in 2017, as a key hub of the anti-Trump resistance.

This shouldn't be overlooked either...because it's not true.
Site traffic declined in 2017.

And finally the last 3 months...

DKos was one of the top 1,000 web sites in the entire world in late 2015, when everyone was rallying around Bernie.
It's now number 6,000 and sinking fast, and it's all your fault Markos. Because you hated Bernie because he didn't toe the party line.

@gjohnsit Somewhere about 2005 or 6 (maybe even before then)for a 9/11 post. Here's hoping he tombstones himself. Sooner the better.
