[JohnKleeb]

1. You got a penchant for punishment? kidding

[WildEyedLiberal]

2. Masochism?

:shrug:

For me, it's usually a morbid curiosity. But it's very rarely ever worth it. It just ends up pissing me off.

[JohnKleeb]

[JohnKleeb]

4. I was in their briefly a few weeks back

Fled back, thank god. God I wonder what it would be like to go there high and drunk.

[GRLMGC]

5. Yeah, I'm a masochist too

Some poor sap posted how he felt alone in there and that he felt that he wasn't liberal enough. I gave him some support but that fool is gonna get flamed.

[JohnKleeb]

6. A true liberal accepts differences of idea as just that

[GRLMGC]

7. Yeah

but this GD were talking about. I'm actually surprised he hasn't gotten that many attacks but i've noticed they come later.

[JohnKleeb]

8. of course

I recall getting agreement on my purge thread intially then I got attacked. Like how dare I attack what Stalin and Hitler did.

[GRLMGC]

9. Wait

what happened?

[JohnKleeb]

10. oh in December I think it was

I posted a thread called "Purging is a undemocratic practice" and I got some agreement at first then they attacked me, and I spent that whole day trying to defend my points.

[WildEyedLiberal]

11. It took them a while to go rally all their CU buddies

Seriously. One of them trolls for shit to stir up, and then alerts all his buddies for a thread like yours to go freep.

Bastards. They all need a fucking life, for real.

[GRLMGC]

13. I've noticed that

The attacks come in waves

[JohnKleeb]

14. ahh of course, reinforcements/

[GRLMGC]

16. It is undemocratic

They're stupid. Do they want to lose voters or something? "We need to be righteous. Winning elections is secondary!"

[JohnKleeb]

17. it was anti everyone who isnt a liberal democrat

I Said we need to realize that a leftist dem cant win everywhere.

[GRLMGC]

18. No!

You're wrong. Everyone thinks like us. If not, they should!!!!!1111

[JohnKleeb]

19. hah yes people in rural midwest believe in every thing liberal lol

[paulk]

20. the problem with the GD forum

is that many people over there confuse "liberal" with "leftism". There is a difference, but I've given up on esplaining.

[GRLMGC]

21. You can't really explain anything to them

They'll get pissed off and call you a DLC sellout or something

[paulk]

22. why do people slow down and look at car wrecks?

:hi:

occasionally, every once in a great while, now and then, sometimes, GD is worthwhile. That's why I still go there. I also have a whole lot of people on ignore, so it's not as bad as it could be.

It's still pretty bad, though.

[ginnyinWI]

23. it feels good to resist them

and we can always come back here where it is comfy and safe :)

24. i use to, but not much anymore

i browse at times. but i have been on DU for years and it's the same old shit. i don't even respond to most of the posts which argue about things from the primary.
