Threads and what they accomplish: time to stop misleading flames
Advertisements [?]
If I posted a poll asking whether Clark, whether Edwards or whether any other one candidate could be elected President, the answer would be no because those who do not support one of these candidates would jump in against them - even if those could be elected President. It is important for the people at du to show courtesy because no one candidate has the support of the majority of people here. If you add in any freeper vote, the freepers will always vote that all our candidates are un-electable.

Instead of trying to divide and attack each others candidates, how about if we try a little respect? If a positive thread in support of a candidate is posted, don't jump in and flame with extreme statements, like they are un-electable. Arnold was considered un-electable until he won. The California Democratic Party laughed at the idea of him winning, something the CA Dem leadership considered an impossibility until it happened. It is also important for the initial poster to avoid attacking other candidates in the lead thread - like I used to be for so and so, but now I realize that this other candidate would be better. The Presidential primary is not for three more years. For all we know, Chris Rock will be the front runner at that time. Let's try for a little harmony in the meantime.
