Virgin primary season on DU? Check in here!
:hi:

I joined right after the last presidential election. DU wasn't accepting new members at the time and I was one of the first to get in after things opened again. (You guys must have been really bad then, too. :) ) I had no idea what it would be like during primary season. Before, people seem so...reasonable...normal.

I know things will get better because I've never seen DU like this.

:hi:

Salutations!

Hi all,I'm a relatively new poster here. I was wondering if people could give their feelings about the "level" of acrimony today, compared to the "peak" period during the 2004 primary. Thanks! (if it's ok with the OP for me to solicit the posts of some of the more "experienced" members here, lol)

20. Honestly, I usually avoid GDP because it's so combative.

7. I hope it improves.
I'm holding off on this years donation until I see that some form of sanity has returned to this place.

8. Yup...a virgin here too!
That's a neat trick at age 64!

Yeah, I've never seen it like this either...

Yesterday was my three year DU anniversary...

I'm looking forward so damn much to the primary season being over!

11. I lurked in '04 (Dean baby!) as Impoverished Optimist
But that username was no longer valid so I fired this baby up. And I'm ready to go!

12. My first primary season here
But I can guess what happened...not much different than now. The progressives were told to shut up and vote dem...and Kerry allowed the election to be stolen.

I wonder if we'll see that happen again.

13. My first presidential primary here! But I've been here for long enough to know the difference.
From what people who went through last time it seems this is worse. But that's only to be expected. The campaigns started a year earlier and the race is going on a lot longer.

17. I was lurking, but I didn't care as much
I only cared about getting Bush out at that time. Kerry seemed like a good choice but I was disappointed by his campaign. That kept me from going in 100% for Edwards.

I don't recall anything like what's happening lately.
