You may need to test it for a few weeks to see if it works.

DUers get candidate info here and at other sources. I prefer to skip the dueling partisan shots. Your mileage may vary.

Quoting debunked RW sources is not discussion. People stamping their little feet and telling everyone else to STFU is not discussion, even if it did get hundreds of Recs and withstand several Alerts.

A lot of what's happening here at the moment is hyper-emotionality, and that is my insensitive analysis.

Don't be so fucking sensitive yourself.

In my scant 54 years; if I've learned anything at all it's that the most arrogant quickly become the most desperate. Today was a perfect example of that.

I'm loving it.

I would add that more houses have been lost betting on "sure things" than anyone would care to admit.

Alert - this post runs counter to the spirit of discussion on a political board

4 to 3 to keep

Juror #1 - HIDE - "Liberal use of"... attack on the liberal wing of the party, shame on you
Juror #2 - KEEP - "Liberal use of"... attack on the liberal wing of the party, fuck yeah
Juror #3 - HIDE - "magically disappear..." magical thinking, belongs in creative speculation
Juror #4 - HIDE - "ProTip" OP appears to be a paid propagandist
Juror #5 - KEEP - threads should be recyled not trashed, keep it as a negative example to others
Juror #6 - KEEP - Alerter appears to be a stalker
Juror #7 - KEEP - What's a lert?

I was Juror #5

edit to add: not an actual alert folks

thought trashing threads was counter to the spirit of discussion on a political board, they would not have created the trash button.

HIDE and LEAVE are usually what you see. The KEEP was a dead giveaway that it was satire. It was pretty dead on though, as far as the types of comments people add to alerts, lol.

They might not always use those exact words, but the same concept is usually there in quite a few results.
