Pelosi haters, Democratic party haters, go away please

[Eliot Rosewater]

that is all

We have a fight on our hands that may end with the end of our lives.

So take you FUCKING BULLSHIT elsewhere.

[safeinOhio]

1. I'd take a bullet for Nancy.

May be two.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. I dont know if I would do that, actually, but I would risk getting an ass beating by nazi's

to protect her.

[still_one]

11. no one should have to do that, but the point being made is being supportive of her when the need

arises. That doesn't mean agreeing with her on everything, but directed toward those who feel the need to use hyperbole and bash when those disagreements occurs

[Chin music]

30. +1

[hlthe2b]

2. I understand the frustration and impatience, but we have to work a system not designed for

this level of obstruction and corruption.

I think that is boiling over, but it sure isn't helping...

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. And we cant fight them with people ATTACKING democrats and blaming THEM.

[dubyadiprecession]

5. My donkey will take care of them.

[Iliyah]

6. Sounds like a lot of trolls . . .

Doom and gloom treads . . .

Anywho, we are strong.

[redstatebluegirl]

7. There is a heavy dose of trolls here, just like it was during the primaries in 2016.

[asiliveandbreathe]

8. I wish there ws some way to ID bots here at DU..if something sounds suspicious..I, without any

proof, if bot, or ninja in camp, just trash thread.... am in the camp of "it's too early" to be bickering about this candidate, or that candidate...I am in the camp of unity..may the BEST DEMOCRATIC candidate prevail....I was born 1947...so I was 10, during Eisenhower, 13 during Kennedy, most importantly, 20s and 30s during Nixon/Ford and Viet Nam, the American people took a stand against Viet Nam - then Carter - then Reagun, etc etc...No, LBJ was not smart about Viet Nam...and NO, the IRAQ war never should have happened under Bush..

I have NEVER felt so panicked as I do today with this corrupt sham of an admin - so I will not be swayed by the dissing of this candidate or that candidate....I have seen my share, and only ask for UNITY...….

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. Well said

[Nuggets]

20. How would bots get on here?

They have that ‘pic all the squares with traffic lights’ bot detector when you join.
Also, if they were Russian trolls here wouldn’t the admin be able to see them as .ru servers and delete their accounts?

I was on a forum years ago where they posted your IP address and what area you lived in at the bottom of every post.

[asiliveandbreathe]

21. Like I said..I wish there was a way, if, as you describe there are safe guards at DU

all the better..for now I will take all precaution and let my GUT instinct decide if you are a bot, ninja in camp, etc etc etc..trash thread works for me...

[Nuggets]

24. Guts are good too.

Just because they have precautions here doesn’t mean someone hasn’t found a way through them. Or, I suppose the owners could be in cahoots with the GOP and Russians! 😄

[marylandblue]

32. If they read enough bot posts, they start to sound like one.

Your gut may be right, yet it's still a real person on the other end. Should be a name for this condition. Bot brain?

[Chin music]

35. Blocking saves a lot of anxiety too.

Fast and easy, and leave the rest to the page admin. This is supposed to be fun and supportive. If you're really anxious, sitting online may not be the best choice. Even a tall glass of water helps. Not sure why, but, it does.

[asiliveandbreathe]

42. LOL...in AZ you have no choice but to stay hydrated.....good suggestion..afa anxiety..

not so much....just have become suspicious with some of the threads and therefore creators..we all should be aware of disinformation..and you are right, trash thread, fast and easy... my participation at DU has been fun, the bickering re: Dem candidates..I don't participate, yet..I do see many comments come my way...that require action...you would be amazed..at some of the comments that get launched...and mostly from the primary group..

[Chin music]

44. You aren't alone.

I'm not as cop caller type of person. I don't alert on people here either. I just really don't care enough to bother. I just block people the FIRST time someone is nasty. There's thousands of people here it seems. I just lack patience. Isn't there a mirt team supposed to be watching out for us anyway? I hope so. Everyone can read when someone gets nutty and rude. I guess i leave it to them to alert on people who are being awful.
Fun to be here, generally, but, when it stops being fun, I can walk away like I did cigarettes and other crap. Life's too short to deal w hecklers. Blocked five or six yesterday alone. It's not hard to spot those who don't mean well. imho. If it hurts my feelings, I block them. If I post and they make jokes, what I don't know won't hurt me. It's the internets. I prefer real life anyway.
S'cuse while i go get a cup of wa wa.

[samnsara]

29. its easier to spot them on twitter. I find them and call them out and block their asses..

....

[11 Bravo]

10. A-fucking-men!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. I gather any criticism whatsoever is not allowed?

Just want to be sure I understand.

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. You say so much with that one sentence, I wonder if you realize that.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. I know.

There are times when DU does not allow reasonable criticism or even analysis of certain people. Which leads to many blind spots here.

[Eliot Rosewater]

15. Uh huh, you betcha

[jalan48]

18. Ain't that the truth. nt

[Skittles]

26. you got that right

honesty regarding someone's favored candidate really is not allowed

[Kurt V.]

31. +1

[pnwmom]

43. Why did you make the leap from "no haters" to "no criticism whatsoever"?

For some reason you deliberately distorted the meaning of the OP.

[Thekaspervote]

16. Go Nancy.. we have your back.

In reference to trolls, This is most common tactic I see employed- they are in support of or against a certain candidate, but if the comments become too heated against them, then they begin to side step and start to agree ..wanting to keep comments coming. They don’t want to blow things up... but rather stay in the fold. They are very consistent. If they get someone to go along with a negative thread, then they dig in deeper. Watch for yourself...not that hard to pick out.

[Eliot Rosewater]

17. They pounce on folks who say things like "she gave a speech, I just cant trust her"

and they reinforce their "concerns" about the candidate.

They successfully convinced millions of people one of the most qualified human beings to ever LIVE was not acceptable and a rapist, traitor was.

[Thekaspervote]

39. Yes... that how it starts

[ehrnst]

19. Thank you, kind sir.

[patphil]

22. My respect for Nancy Pelosi grows each day

She's doing a fantastic job.

[camelfan]

23. So agree with you or fuck off?

So much for DEMOCRATIC underground. I'll fuck off, thanks.

[lunatica]

27. OK. Go ahead if the shoe fits.

[cwydro]

28. Doesn't look to me like you've spent much time here.

[rzemanfl]

33. Hmm, should I wash socks? Yeah, BBL. n/t

[BlueMTexpat]

40. Buh-bye!

[samnsara]

25. amen!

[certainot]

34. one way to fight trolls is to associate them with limbaugh

to be effective most of their memes piggyback rw radio repetition, which is probably why the trump team, maybe asked to by russians, studied talk radio in 2014, the same year a russian troll said they "got a list of topics to write about"

it's a shame that the dem party or one of the major media or progressive orgs is not using AI-assisted transcription and monitoring of the major talk radio memes to make it easier to track and eliminate - essentially saying "well, that's what limbaugh keeps saying, but...."

facebook could save a lot of money like that

[Kurt V.]

36. since i don't hate, what about pelosi frustraters?

[LakeArenal]

37. The haters want us to quit posting.

The goal is to wear us down to frustration and anger.

Unfortunately we can’t call them out and the are really quick on the alert.

[mcar]

38. It never fails, Eliot

Some will always smear and slam our Democrats rather than focusing on the corrupt party they are fighting against.

[Eliot Rosewater]

45. And we are running out of time, we need to be hitting the STREETS very HARD

because our government is GONE

Cant keep dealing with the planted constant attacks of any and all Democrats...

[stillcool]

41. I was just thinking the other day..

about "don't feed the trolls". They've been here for forever, but it's different now. It's not like it's just Freepers. Making an illusion, or a perception a reality, is their game. And, I'm sure I've been played.

[EffieBlack]

46. THIS!

[ProudLib72]

47. Is that why you haven't been talking to me lately Eliot?

Because of the meme in my sig line?

[Trumpocalypse]

48. Unfortunately

there seems to be a strain of those on the left that wishes to be perpetually disappointed. Democrats are never pure enough, never go far enough for them. They rather moan and complain about how they’ve been let down or betrayed once again.
