People who threaten to vote third-party and/or cut off support for Democrats are not tea baggers but

[LoZoccolo]

whine bottlers.

[jpgray]

1. And these OPs are what, whine glasses?

[LoZoccolo]

2. They are calls to unity on DU.

People like them because DU is where Democrats gather.

[pintobean]

7. Calling pissed off DUers whiners is not a call for unity

and you know it

[LoZoccolo]

11. DUers aren't supposed to support third parties. n/t

[pintobean]

15. True, but it doesn't refute my point.

[LoZoccolo]

16. You are right: I am not calling for unity with people who break the DU rules here. n/t

[pintobean]

17. Like me and you? I've seen deleted messages and locked threads from you

I think we both try to follow the rules, but most of us break them. In case you haven't noticed, the third party rule doesn't seem to be enforced these days. I've never advocated voting 3rd party, but I understand the sentiment. Again, calling DUers whiners isn't a call for unity.

[LoZoccolo]

20. I think the third-party rule gets enforced because

I alert on it just about every time I see it, and the posts get locked or deleted.

[Le Taz Hot]

31. Incorrect (as always)

DUers can support anyone they damned well please, they just can't talk about it on this board.

[City Lights]

22. Turning sour grapes into whine. eom

[dmallind]

3. They are not teabaggers, no - but their voting choices support teabagger aims. nt

[LoZoccolo]

4. That is true; thanks for your input. n/t

[lame54]

5. Blind Obama supporters are...

not helping

[LoZoccolo]

6. I've never run into one. n/t

[Harmony Blue]

8. Mirrors are a good starting point

J/K all in good fun LoZoccolo. :)

[hobbit709]

9. It's difficult to run into yourself.

[pintobean]

13. I've seen it done here

[hobbit709]

14. I didn't say it was impossible, but you do have to work at it.

:rofl:

[jpgray]

10. Must be echolocation?

[muffin1]

12. Did you just join DU today?

[RegieRocker]

18. That would be complaing about those voting third party. Is it a democracy

or not? Hmmm who's really good at pinning labels on people?

[LoZoccolo]

19. It is a democracy

where I have freedom of speech to criticize other peoples' political choices.

[RegieRocker]

24. And likewise to criticize those who try and pin an adolescent label on others.

[LanternWaste]

21. I imagine conflating whining and frustration...

I'd imagine that conflating whining and frustration is a common mistake quite easily made. As it also flippantly dismisses and petulantly minimizes those concerns, I'd hazard a guess that it allows a person to feel much better about themselves at the expense of others, too.

[Donnachaidh]

23. and those who knock dissent are shrillmongers n/t

[backscatter712]

25. Regardless of name-calling, cutting off support for Dems is stupid - gives the election to the GOP.

[Erose999]

26. Our candidate gives them everything else, might as well throw in the election too.

[NNN0LHI]

27. Let me know when he gives control of the Nuclear Football to a Rapture Ready Republican

Then I will start worrying again.

Don

[Erose999]

29. But you're OK with a couple more ground wars in the Mid East, right?

[NNN0LHI]

30. I was against invading and occupying Afghanistan and Iraq

Were you?

Don

[Erose999]

32. Hell yes, I still am against the occupations. And I was against involvement in Libya as well.

Not that anyone in the admin. listens to me...

[Tom Rinaldo]

28. If that's how you feel about folks who are willing to vote for a Democrat over a Republican

virtually in all cases, but who only give time and money to Democrats who they believe in, then what do you call people who most of the time vote Democratic except those times when they forget to vote, or when they think the Democrat is too liberal so they vote Republican instead? Obama's Base?

[caty]

33. People who threaten to vote

third-party and/or cut off support for Democrats are not tea baggers but
the same kind of people who put us in this situation in 2010 by trying to "teach politicians a lesson" by putting more rethugs and teabaggers in congress.
