I'm curious. What's on the list of things that "real" democrats, or liberals, or progressives, or leftists, aren't allowed to use, buy, or enjoy?
I'll start with a list of a few obvious things, which I also happen to enjoy.
Olive Garden Soda Hondas Pit bulls
So what else is on this list? I think it's important to find out, because I was always under the impression that the difference between the left and the right was the fact that we wanted this country to be for everyone, while they wanted it just for themselves. More and more I'm reading things that say I must be wrong...

1. In this case "real" means white upper middle class |
|
So, while it may be the left, it's still the elite authoritarian invested in the status quo left. A good Olive Garden type thread fills my ignore list up pretty fast.

"White upper middle class" may explain some of the issues, though I'm not sure it's enough of an explanation. I know plenty of white upper middle class people who would never dream of getting into a massive argument over whether to dine at a chain Italian restaurant.

4. "Real" Democrats are no longer allowed to vote for Democrats. |
|
Because not all Democrats are True Scotsmen or something.

Don't post while watching TV. You can sometimes write words that people say on there instead of what you want to say.

8. Damn. Now *I* look confused! |

To the casual reader: darkstar3 (a pothead) called me a "Yeti" and then questioned my parentage. As if a Yeti could post smart-ass comments on the internet. Crazy, innit?
Wait, what?
