(13,616 posts)Let's be honest here, the Jury system has been hijacked here. Today I saw where in the very act of explaining a jury decision, the juror broke to ToS by calling someone a "BOT."
To the Centrists that do that: do not be surprised when Hillary loses, when Obama turns in a C+ performance because he is not under pressure to do better, and you go down as being the people that made the GOP return to power possible.
To the self appointed, self-proclaimed "Far left", do not be surprised when people you thought should support you get away from you, because we minorities see that we were just a means to YOUR ends that you could talk all about civil rights in the abstract, but you never liked it when some of us questioned your thought only to be accused of being "obamabots."
To the right, hell, that was already addressed by Centrists. Reality will wash you out soon enough, especially as this country gets taken over by foreign interests that really have no need of good ole boys anymore.
But to all those that make DU suck, I say, I am sticking around, not because I am going to waste time trying to convince the hardheaded, but for the one sheer joy the independent minded have: laughing when you go down and wonder why no one speaks for you.
and to quote Harlan Ellison, if you hear me crying, none of those tears are for you, it is only because I know I am going down with you.
Except those I save for people like the OP, Seabeyond, and many others who have been purged.
