WTF!!! This is the LOUNGE!! Why so many political threads???

This is the room to get away from the madness.

1. It is happening on every message board on the internet

If you're posting about Gilligan's Island and your favorite nacho recipe, you're part of the current problem. Sorry.

On sports message boards, two cartoonists message boards of which I am a member, everywhere. Big shit came down this week. Leave your petty needs aside for a bit and wake up to what has happened. Or, got post on Nickelodean or Martha Stuart or something. After all, this is "DEMOCRATIC" Underground, not Trivial underground.

3. So crabbing online about a lost election you can't do shit about

isn't satisfying any petty needs of yours? Quit being a dick. This is the Lounge. It's where we come when we want to get away from the self-important screeds of holier-than-thou pedants like you and have a giggle or two.

4. That's not the point.

There are at least 5 forums here to discuss the election.

GD Help
GD Fighting
Politics and Campaigns
Presidential Returns
LBN

I think there is plenty of room in the Lounge for Thongs, Yaks, Nacho Recipe's and the sort.

2. Actually, part of it is due to the new names of GD

They represent artificial divisions. "Hmmm, do I want to fight and be a dick, or do I want a touchy-feely support group?" Neither feels quite right. So they come in here.

Edit: Hey now, you guys need to calm down a tad. The Fight Club forum is down the hall - and to the right.
