(905 posts)Hell, at this point, I think a majority of Americans would vote for a HOLOGRAM over the current pResident-in-Grief.
Pretty safe to assume that, this time around, members of this site are overwhelmingly going to vote for whoever the Democratic candidate ends up being---even those who don't happen to stumble across your post.
Keep in mind that not all DU members follow Greatest Threads or read a post just because it has a relatively high number of recs. A lot of people only read things based on content, not arbitrary "likes."
Seems kind of crazy to suggest demonizing fellow Dems just because they haven't read something you wrote or just because they didn't happen to check in within the 24-hour timeframe in which your post will receive any kind of visibility whatsoever.
Here's an example for you: A friend of mine who is an environmental scientist and has testified at congressional hearings on climate change is a DU member who mostly checks into the site to post in the science forum and to read news posts about climate change. I think he's posted maybe only twice in the past year in this primary forum.
He doesn't engage in the back and forth that pushes a post a little higher up on the 24-hour reading pole for the same reason he isn't on Twitter or Facebook: Because, quite frankly, he's A LITTLE TOO BUSY TRYING TO SAVE THE WORLD. Shall we demonize him too?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
