The seven DU archetypes during the Primaries

[Turn CO Blue]

The Cassandras - "Lookout! We're all doomed!"


The Gomer Pyles - "Well, Gol-ly! I'm Gomer Pyle! Well, Go-ol-ol-ly!"


The Eeyores - "It'll Never Work!"


The Frasier Cranes -
"People are usually rigid little demagogues who don't know the difference
between the kind of respect that is earned and the kind of respect that is
irrespective ...of what others expect."


The Anarchist Ninjas - These just drop in, stab everyone and run.


The "argumentative" ones... "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!"


And the rest of DU -

1. Where do you fit? nt

[Turn CO Blue]

3. I'd like to think I'm normal, but today I'm more like a Frasier Crane...

and you?

[wtmusic]

8. Changes from day to day for me too

Lately pretty damn argumentative *looks for metamucil*

[Turn CO Blue]

16. LOL *metamucil* And all DU'ers - take two of these:

ME INCLUDED!

[orleans]

20. love that chill pill. i'll take 100. n/t

[Turn CO Blue]

22. If only we could get them wholesale by the ton!

[me b zola]

2. LOL, I even look like Cassandra

...all the way down to the pulling of my own hair. :rofl:

[Turn CO Blue]

5. We all have our Cassandra days - especially if we ever

talk to an uninformed Republican! It's very difficult to not overwhelm them with "the way things are" if it seems like they're actually listening!

[sakabatou]

4. I guess I fit into the rest of DU

[Turn CO Blue]

7. Most do, on most days... these are primary days though

[bryant69]

6. DOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

I don't know reading the Republican press, I'd think we have a lot to be happy about - hell most of our anger is that we are likely to elect a Democrat who isn't as liberal as we would like.

15. Exactly. I've written some

pretty caustic things about a couple of the candidates, and I'm sorry for it, but I know that any/each of them will appoint highly qualified people to the important Cabinet positions, departments and to the Courts!

That's where the real governing happens.

[Kajsa]

9. He-he, I'd like to think

that I'm the coffee sipping lady at the computer.

;-)

[Turn CO Blue]

17. hee hee. We all would like to think that

[Double T]

10. What about the FAIRY TALE TELLERS FROM THE LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE??

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. Then there are always these everpresent types...

[Turn CO Blue]

13. Yes! "Resistance if futile. You will be assimilated!"

[Iggo]

12. In case you didn't know...

...Cassandra was ALWAYS right. It's just that no one ever believed her. That was her curse.

[Turn CO Blue]

14. Good point. But if she hadn't been yanking her hair out and

screaming...

[gkhouston]

18. I'll take Cassandra's dress, the ninja's knives, and that cup of coffee, please.

And that troll's staff might come in handy later, too.

You left out a category for the people more or less demanding that we vote to support the nominee, no matter who, right now. Whenever I see one of those, I always wonder what the rush is. Couldn't we save the "rally behind the nominee" appeals until after the convention? :shrug:

Nice archetypes. :thumbsup:

[H2O Man]

19. #8

The progressive activists ....

[Turn CO Blue]

21. I can't wait until we all focus on knocking Repubs out of the ring!

[Horse with no Name]

23. You forgot the 8th one-which most of us fall into occasionally....

[Turn CO Blue]

24. Undoubtedly! Also...WHO would buy that costume on purpose?
