Comments like these are my favorite because, as a long-time daily lurker, the content on the website has never fundamentally changed. I guess these one-time commenters are seeing something we don't lol
Some? Maybe. But I know a great many who are well aware of it yet are unfortunately absent. Probably because there are more avenues than forums these days. But still it's lonely all the same. I always valued the insight of those who had their local political scene down to a science
A lot of people are experiencing PTSD from the election and the first two weeks. I personally am spending less time here and more getting involved in local politics and writing to politicians.
Around this time 8 years back the comment sections were much livelier. Obviously plenty have moved on, including plenty I know personally. It just makes the whole scene look lonely
What happened to this place?

I remember many vibrant discussions had by people who taught me a great deal. I just miss seeing their inputs is all. Among other things
I think a lot of people may have missed the transition to substack tbh

I understand all of that. I'm just saying I remember it differently
YouтАЩre surprised at the lack of comments on an election site when there are no imminent elections?

Actually, some days bring a very lively discussion; imo your criticism is not warranted
Maybe so. I've just seen it quiet for a while
Be the change and start some discussions about the elections topics you want to hear more about!
a lot of people hate losing
