I've had it with DU. I'm sticking to the Lounge...... |
|
This is unbelievable. We've got people pissing all over other candidates, calling their supporters names. IT'S childish actions that shouldn't be allowed here at Democratic Underground.
The Dean bashing is just SICK. The man accidentally trips over his foot and you all call him a flip-flopper. But then some Dean supporters come back with hateful replies - which are uncalled for.
I'm sick of the Dean bashing, I'm sick of SOME Dean supporters giving ALL Dean supporters bad names. I'm sick of this whole site because in the 3 years I've been posting here; it's never been this bad.
GROW UP PEOPLE
I URGE ever Dean supporter to just ignore the Dean bashing, don't let them get to you, and PLEASE don't come back with remarks that only create more tension! Stop the attacking of their candidate - let THEM look like the bad people, not us.

it goes both ways, it got him to where he is, good for him, but the others aren't going to keep taking punches. Good for them, we'll need a fighter to beat Bush.

8. I'm not going to let this turn into anti-Dean thread. |

I'm fine with criticism, it's a political forum. But when people start ONLY posting anti-Dean articles, it gets to me. Like I said, the Dean supporters don't help the cause when they reply back with hate.

HALLEhowever you spell it.
I tend to only read a few posts in General Discussion and mostly Latest Breaking, but from the anger Sean expressed, I can only agree with him if what he says is true.
You people should be focusing on the STRENGTHS of your selected canidates and acknowledging the strentghs of the others. In-Party bickering will do nothing more than crumble the foundations of what you're trying to achieve and give the opposition a weapon to strike at you with.
Who's going to take you seriously if you all just pull your eyes down and stick your tongues out at each other like little kids?
I suggest a new rule that people who start Democratic canidate bashing be forced to fight Jessie Venture in a steel cage match.
That'll stop it.

when it just goes on and on it's a bore. most of the candidates running this time are just fine -- they all have problems -- and so what. it's exciting to hear braun, kucinich, dean, kerry, etc -- they all have some great ideas.

17. I will vote for the Democratic nominee. You have my solemn vow... |
|
...and I'm pro-Kerry. But above all else, I'm a Democrat. I agree that there does seem to be an awful lot of negativity. Don't we hear enough of that from the freepers? Could we have a moratorium on the attack posts or something? I'm a new guy here and I may be out of line, but it sure seems counter-productive to me to spend the day slamming Democrats. All nine (maybe 10) are "my guys"...and any one of my guys can kick their guy's ass. That said, I'll fetch me coat... :hi:

14. I don't bother posting threads in there anymore |
|
GD is an intellectual wasteland now. I tried posting a good, thought-provoking thread about the international support that's been destroyed by Bush, and it sunk like a stone. Meanwhile, every retarded Kerry bashing/conspiracy thread was bumped like hotcakes.
I don't like Kerry, but these idiotic "It was only a four month tour" and "Kerry is a secret PNACER!" threads are bottom feeding shit, at best.
GD is dead. Long live the Lounge.
