Democratic Primaries

(10,039 posts)DU is an obvious target. Neon sign saying we talk about politics here. It's why I probably won't stay long and go on another hiatus. People argue politics all day here, they're addicted to it, you see people try to quit and they put up I'm back messages a week later. I saw it in my mom, she was on here what felt like 24/7 during the W. Bush years. Sure, it helped to be informed, but I view this method of getting the news severely compromised. I'm back here too after the Mueller report, addicted to what DU used to be. All day everyone goes after each others opinions, to form and shape them. To convince others of whatever their agenda is. If you can't change people's minds, usually you can find ways simply to change how they react.
If I was a nefarious scheming type of person I would take the knowledge of how people reacted to my post and continue using that method to stir those 2016 feelings and feed their ego trip for being right about the Mueller report. Encourage those feel good feelings that they are better than Bernie supporters and stoke that thought that people who supported Bernie are all morons who believed nonsense. Perhaps try to encourage a Bernie purge. Or perhaps that purge already happen and that work is already done and the next mark is Elizabeth Warren.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
