Yeah, come here for the positive talk and lots of great information on Sanders, his position, and his campaign.

But we really don't want threads that are meta - i.e. complaining about other DU'ers and other Groups.

Far too many other Groups allow that. We don't.

But maybe a comedic line like...I'm tired, I've been a Bernie supporter all day at DU...

Just funny things. I used to read snark at Television without Pity and one of the funniest threads was one to Shonda Rhimes from disappointed Grey's Anatomy fans. They called it Dear Shonda....and they would make up funny letters kind of riffing on the implausible story lines. There are a lot of funny posts by Bernie supporters taking this idea and posting in response to "serious posts that worry about Bernie". I mean funny, letting off steam in a good way..We should have a collection of the funniest----not meanest ----not attacking---but funniest responses that we have made. I have laughed out loud at some of them!

and not meta, as a host I have no problem with it.

Of course, individual threads might not be appropriate.

But I am game for you exploring it. If it gets out of line, we always communicate.

every DU support poll we've taken shows 90% of DU is in for Bernie. When you're out numbered 9 to 1 of course you're going to be a little upset. So I cut them as much slack as I can.
