Once again, very regretfully. A very special DU Public Service Announcement.

General Discussion: Primaries is for general discussion about the Democratic Party primaries.

In case you somehow missed the giant banner that you had to click on before posting here at plain old General Discussion.

And that includes the whole "I was just making a general, non-election related comment on X Democratic Candidate, No really, I was" thing. Because no one believes you and that's just pathetic.

Some of us consciously avoid the ridiculous shit flinging insanity that is GD: P for a reason. Not that there's anything wrong with shit flinging. Just fling your shit over there for a reason.

1. I second that... 100% of my jury service has either A. from GDP, or B. Should have been in GDP.

And, like overindulging on some sort of fatty, unhealthy food that ultimately isn't as tasty as it looked, I immediately regret my decision.

5. So if I have newly discovered video from Bernie's time working as a Hibachi chef, doing tricks

with knives and catching a shrimp tale in his hat and whatnot, I can't put it here but must put it over in GDP even though it has nothing to do with the primary?

But wouldn't that have been cool.

And now, a flaming, volcano, from a slice of onion.

10. GD:P = Republican forum

Some of the unhinged and blind rage I've seen in GD toward Bernie and Hillary sometimes make the forum seem like a gathering of Republicans.

Any time the name Clinton or Sanders appears in a headline, off it goes to LBN.

It's much more pleasant around here that way.
