I am wondering WHY
there is still so much perverted competitive spirit among Democrats, especially now,

and particularly among the people online, when we don't ever meet face to face.

It's so easy to insult someone without actually seeing him or her or hearing a voice or seeing where they live and work and why. Are people so easily compartmentalized that we can make certain sick assumptions?


Why do you think it happens? What is the purpose of it?

2. I don't know either...I've seen it and "felt" it...maybe there
are too many really young people with less experience online making the biggest waves ... I just don't know. When it gets super tense in here, I leave for awhile.

The only other thing I can think of is that these are very tense times and all of us under the Dem umbrella don't think alike. Hence the need for more parties. Some are far left, some moderate, some a mix of things, some poor, some doing alright...just a hodge podge of ideas crammed into one party... my best guess :shrug:

4. perverted competitive spirits?
At first glance I thought you were complaining about some drunken sexual free-for-all going on around here. Where the hell was I when this was going on?

But alas, you weren't. You can imagine my disappointment. :D :D :D

Some people know they have the answer and they like to prove it to others.
