Can't we all just get along *cries*
So I'm definitely a newbie but I've been keeping up with the boards for awhile now. Has anyone besides me realized just how MEAN those people are in GD04?? Maybe I'm a dork in thinking that we should all get along for the greater cause, but seriously! It's **ck this and **ck that and "My candidate is better than yours". I know we all have passionate views when it comes to candidates and views, but geez. Uh, my point? Thanks to you guys for making me laugh instead of making me want to hide in the corner. :grouphug: :yourock:

5. Agree
I totally agree that it's interesting - in fact, I've learned things from the board that I wouldn't know had it not been for posts. My point is, I just thought there was a nicer way to go about it. Guess I'm just a wuss. lol

it was a complete joke. As I've said time and time before, I haven't picked/eliminated a Dem to support.

Apologies if I was misunderstood...

3. It all comes down to...
My team is better than your team.

Ultimately this is a microcosm of politics in general, Repugs vs Dems.

I say that, with all due respect, as a huge sports fan. And an even bigger Democrat fan.

13. Right now just think of it as "healthy" debate.
I think that one nice thing about DU is that people from all over the left can come together and engage in dialogue. I think the threads in GD:2004 will help me make a decision when it comes to the ever important Colorado Caucuses in April!

14. Conversing is good.
Before I was introduced to DU I had to suffer on my own (I live with my friend and her mom who are from Texas and think um, he who shall not be named is God). This is a nice place to get to hear all the reasons why I'm proud to be a Dem.

8. I've had my face eaten off one too many times over there.
So I don't go there anymore... Not for now anyway.

Many seem to be looking for a confrontation.

12. Exactly!
It's like their whole point is to make some feel insignificant.

In any case, it works. I don't think I'll muster the courage to post. So kudos to you for even trying.

Welcome to DU, Blondie! Flip back and forth for a while - the Lounge usually has some good laughs and stress-reducers!

57. "Has anyone noticed how MEAN those people are in GD04??"
I sure have. I feel like I've traveled back in time to Jr High school.

And to read most of the posts there earlier today, you'd think it isn't possible for any one candidate to do well, because that means there is a conspiracy working for him.

On the other hand, none of the others really make a mistake or mistep, because their fate is being totally controlled by outside conspiracies against them.

I feel like I'm in another universe when I read that stuff.

.....Or a very special ward.
