Why is anyone really in this forum anyway??

[Citizen Kang]

Lets be real. GD:P does not exist to inform or persuade a person on which candidate to vote for. There is no substantive debate here. It only exists for the following reasons:

-entertainment purposes
-an outlet to vent
-hysterical, made-up drama
-a guilty pleasure to fling mud at the supporters of the candidate you loathe

If you think that posting here makes any actual difference in who winds up with the nomination or who wins the General Election, you are deluding yourself. DU does not represent the Democratic Party and certainly does not represent America as a whole.

So just have fun with it.

1. Because we can't read or post news articles or candidate updates

elsewhere.

2. it's a place where we can exchange ideas.

and yes, to vent. actually the Lounge would be a better place for that.

3. I like to read what's happening with

the campaigns and what people think about it. Plus it's also interesting to see the latest that people are fighting about. :spank:

4. I'm a glutton for punishment.
