A request to supporters of both candidates

[Tommy_Carcetti]

As you may or may not be aware, I posted the following thread today in this forum:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7678863&mesg_id=7678863

The purpose of which was to have a little fun. The idea is that we were getting threads on this page like "Obama is a loser" and "Hillary Clinton laughs weird", and these posts were all being recommended like crazy by overzealous supporters of each candidate, even though they were not putting forward any sort of intelligent thought or debate within the post. So I figured if those posts could get enough recommendations, just about anything trivial could get recommendations. Hence, the waterskiing squirrel.

So I figure the next time I come across a thread (for or against either candidate--I don't pick sides here) that lacks any real substance or thought but results in at least 10 recommendations without merit, I am going to post the following:

"Squirrel Award"

and post the following picture:



I encourage all to do the same.

Or even better, don't recommend a thread unless it actually has something intelligent to say.

Again, this goes for both candidates. I personally view all as equal offenders to this plague.

Thank you most kindly.
