In your OP about celebrating the passage of HCR. Full sentence: "All of you who are determined to shit all over the passage of this legislation...welll...try not to land on each other when you jump out the window."
I believe this is what Beth is referencing. What did you mean, if not committing suicide?

I posted a link about roses for Pelosi, etc. and a bunch of people expressed their disapproval of her.
Plus there are other posts here that just lead me to think, about half the people on this board really despise the Democrats in power as much as the Teabaggers do.

22. Well! That's certainly the opposite of reality |

Most of the discontented on the board, and I currently count myself as one of them, are typically single-payer advocates, or strong supporters of teachers, or anti-war, or LGBTers in search of equality, and on and on.
That is about as opposite from anti-governmental as it gets.

Of course, those who opposed leaving our health care system in the hands of the capitalists and favored a government run program are the anti-governmental types! I guess that's true now that the capitalists own a significant portion of our government.

The way some people on DU want to frame the debate on HCR is disgusting. They obviously know better, they know that the opposition to this bill is not because they hate Democrats or hate the President, it is because they wanted it to be better. I would think it would be beneath people on DU to use this kind of dishonest tactic, but obviously not.

It's still early.
There are reasons why Nancy Pelosi isn't as popular with some posters here as she was when she became Speaker, mostly around the way she handled the conversation about impeachment but there are other issues as well. It's not hatred as much as it is feedback in the absence of any other way to talk to her.

17. I try not to participate too much because there is a curtain drawn closed |
|
and we don't really know what's behind it, but years of watching the votes of our leaders reveals that they are in their positions for the money. It affects the way a dem who digs a little thinks about victories and defeats. In fairness, there are some really naive Democrats, also. And we can't talk about some subjects or use material from some sources.
There is no other Party besides Republicans that count in a fight the way things are set up in this country. We have to remember that some who aren't really either, but can't accept the crimes of Republicans are here. Across the spectrum, followers of fair politics are struggling and are not all in the same line in this march.
DU isn't perfect. Not all of us are perfect. Not all of our leaders are perfect. Some people only choose not to delve into what's below the surfaceto of the agenda of those who want to own and control us.

In case there was some confusion about what the President just signed.
Take a walk if you're so bothered. I take breaks from DU for weeks at a time when I don't much care for the tone. And I don't see why you're so het up. It's not like people complain about your rights and explain how people oughtn't have to know where you stick your tallywhacker when it comes to policy.
Because people who post that sort of thing probably contribute to the eroded tone and all.

Which is why I closed my eyes, randomly typed in a new password, copied, pasted, and changed it on my old account and started this one. I hardly post anything any new threads now. I hate to say it, but DU was a lot better when republicans were in power. However, I'd rather have a better "real" life than a better "DU" life.
