DU has lost its purpose, only a trading ground for negative links on Obama/Clinton |
|
This will be my last post on DU. I dont find any value in spending my time reading up on childish, desperate and lonely DU users posting links and spreading lieas about a fellow democrat.
I do like a debate, but people are only interested in posting links that are full of innuensoes, lies and rethoric from an blog or paper, that most likely supports your candidate.
good bye..

I've been here just a little longer than that, and I think DU is serving its purpose just fine. It's a place for us to discuss DEMOCRATIC PARTY issues. Nobody ever said those discussions all had to be warm and fuzzy.

15. And what is an Argument ? The broad categories of postings here are... |
|
1. The poll posts..They are either in favor of your candidate, or speak ill of the other 2. Links to articles in Huffington, realclearpolitics, washingtonpost, nyt, fox news and some others.. 3. Obama supporters does not post their comments or have an serious argument about what they are posting, only throwing out a bone to their fellow Obama fans..Spicing it up with some harsh words on Clinton. Any attempt to debate the issue is futile. 4. Some of the words used to characterize Obama and Clinton is just awful, Obama fans tend to be way more forceful in both numbers and the bullying of the other campaign 5. The sink/blcck posts...It’s not a democratic tradition to close the doors on people that you don’t agree with or that do not support your candidate.

GD:P is the only forum on the site with this much venom. It's pretty much expected though. Alot of people here have time, money, and such invested in "their" candidate. If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen I say.

11. Message boards are for exchange of opinions on topics that interest the posters... |
|
...If the discussion at DU isn't right for you, then look for another board where posters are interested in posting on the topics which, according to your preferences, are appropriate and discussed in an appropriate matter.
There is no need to criticize a board or other posters just because you don't like the topics or the posts.
The rest of the posters, it would be assumed, are content with both topic and content. Otherwise, they would have exercised their right to post elsewhere.
BTW, you might want to look at the title of this subforum: "General Discussion: Primaries." The only primary where there is >1 candidate is the Democratic Party primary, and the two candidates are Obama and Clinton.
It seems kind of unreasonable to go to a forum which is entitled "General Discussion: Primaries" and expect the content to be something other than posts on the election primaries, and it seems especially unreasonable to criticize posters for posting on the primaries in a subforum entitled "General Discussion: Primaries."
As far as the "negative" content...that is a very subjective call. I've seen posts on Hillary Clinton's sniper lie described as "negative," when in reality the poster is only discussing what HRC did.
Anyway, good luck where ever you go. But if you want to discuss the primaries, I doubt you will find anything different on other boards than you see here. If anything, this board (in my experience) is at least pretty on-topic and focused.
Just my opinion...your mileage may vary.

19. No, it's not normally like this. |

This primary season has been vicious. It seems to me that most of the posts you complain about are limited just to the GDP forum. Once we have a presumptive nominee, I expect our infighting to decrease quite a bit (although it will never completely be gone). Try looking around the rest of the site, and don't give up so easily!

27. You posted at 2:32 and you are still here at 3:05? Are you going... |
|
to stay in it until the primaries are over and keep causing waves or are you leaving. You are right, its horrible place and you should get away as soon as possible.
I typed this for fun because its now 5:51 and I realize that there is no way you are still here with how bad it is. I would suggest making another screen name and coming back again. Maybe it will be a little more pleasant for you the next week.

I think that explains some people's behavior around here.
Sorry that you were treated so rudely. There are other forums out there where people can have an intelligent discussion about the candidates. Good Luck :patriot:

29. Agreed. It is time for DU to endorse Obama the presumptive nominee and end this nonsense |

Hillary cannot win unless she destroys the party. Time for DU leadership to realize this.

The administrators took the time and effort to keep all this nut-jobbery and campaigning via trolls in one area.
Good riddance to a hopeless bullshit "artist".

Goodbye cruel world! I may stay to respond to this post but I am totally out of here, until shortly after dinner. Then I'll be back. Don't think you've won though evil DUers, because when I come back I won't be here for long before I make you all suffer through another "I'm leaving post" and then we will see who is sorry they opened up that 6oz can of whoopass during the primary season.
PS- When I refuse to open up that 40oz can of whoopass I've been saving for the GE then you will all be sorry....
PPS- You heard me, I'm leaving for sure!
PPPS- No matter how hard you beg me, its too late. I'm gone.
PPPPS- I've gave you the best days of my life, and this is how you all repay me?
PPPPPS- Nevermind, I'm totally gone now.
PPPPPPS- Don't even try to stop me, I'm right by the door and my mind is made up.
PPPPPPPS- Don't even think about tracking me down on the net to stalk me some more. I will never get back the years....er weeks....er days I spent here and you will soon miss me.
PPPPPPPPS- Steak sandwiches for dinner! You ARE NOT invited! I'm going now.
