Now here's something to consider.....
.... if I were a NEW poster at DU and I supported the President ..... would I be likely to STICK around if most of the positive threads about him were hidden in some place I didn't know to look for?

While I can totally appreciate your frustration and desire to simply not want to deal with the BS .... you should ALSO know that you (all) are missed.

You can keep drawing the circle smaller and smaller until suddenly, you're the only one in it. We're Democrats (lol at least most of us are), we dont always agree, that's what makes our party strong. And we knew things weren't always going to be easy.

But it wont be "bad" over there forever. A week ago, we were all geeked out over the medicate expansion and things can turn back around just as quickly. But I think the speed at which things become "good" is directly determined by the amount of positivity being projected there.

But do whatever you feel comfortable doing ..... just wanted to give you something to chew on.

Ok .... I'm going back over there now. ---->

(puts helment back on)

4. It was just locked....
I try to ignore craziness, but this mess has no place on this board, and these people need to be called out on it.

I saw someone was banned yesterday for a 'pony' post. Posting crap like that should result in a ban as well...but hey, it's not my board. :)

9. The link says "Missing Topic" so maybe they
not only locked it but wiped it off the face of the Planet?

Here's one from the early hours of the morn that got locked.

12. The problem is that non hysterical threads drop like a stone and its hard to
have an intelligent discussion.

I post in both places.
