"Well maybe not, because here on DU it is only Progressive to bash the President over the head day after day."
ignoring social issues. Issues related to gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. don't exist as all of society's problems are due to class only. Anyone who mentions these issues is either trying to deflect, or is an "extremist".
Never mind that folks are basically talking about issues that they relate to on a first-hand basis.
You can Google the thread, but there was one poster very recently who whined about BOG regulars supposedly never posting in any economic threads. However, I post and read sometimes on those threads. The threads from ProSense related to economic policy have been especially informative. I have also seen you, Cha, freshwest, stevenleser, and others being active in those type of threads. Yet some of the good news threads (and even threads where prominent progressives such as Warren and Sanders praise O) don't get nearly as much play around DU as the flame-baiting hair-on-fire threads about Obama being a centerrightmoderaterepublicanfascistselloutusedcarsellingauthoritarian. Nope.
Again, I almost forget sometimes that this is a site for Democrats, and I wonder if the TOS is still being enforced.
