I truly hope Clinton Supporters do not boycott DU

[Perky]

Firs of all, the admins have been the epitome of neutrality. There is no institutional bias.

Secondly, ultimately we are going to have to find away to get along in the fall. A boycott would only be perceived hear as playing the 'whiny loser" card..

But there is a difference between being pro-Clinton and anti-Barack. ANd there is a certain portion of folks on DU wh have there heads up their ass in using their three posts to do nothing but bring up McClurkin, Rezko or now wright....over and over again....just as their are some that bring up Hillary's vote on the IWR or the healthcare debacle or ferraro or Billy Shaheen or Bob Johnson.


I wish they would boycott DU or at least find something Elsi to open a discussion about because the monotony of life without primaries to talk about for the next five plus weeks is just going to be unbearable.

People should spend more time telling us why the candidate of their choice is better and not why the other candidate might be so bad.


This is a time when whee should be practicing restraint.. because there is only five weeks until the penultimate Primary and n in PA. it is more than twice that long between the last primary and the Convention.

1. I agree 100%.

"People should spend more time tellins us why the candidate of their choice is better and not why the other candidate might be so bad."

That might just cause us to discuss issues that matter, like high gas prices for example, and who has the best plan to help working families fill their tanks.

[NaturalHigh]

17. "That might just cause us to discuss issues that matter"...

Oh, but it's so much better to fling "YOUR CANDIDATE SUCKS" back and forth a few hundred times a day. Never mind posting something that might inspire some of us to vote for the D in the general election.

I don't think I've ever been so disgusted with a primary race or two democratic candidates (or their supporters) as I am in this election year.

2. There is no institutional bias. - yeah right.

[Forkboy]

8. Details...seeing as though you're so sure there is.

I'm assuming you have a clue or you wouldn't open your pie hole about it?

[AGirl]

11. didn't you see the big "I love Obama" banner on the top of the website?

[AGirl]

12. It's like saying the "workplace has no insitutional bias against women"

becuase the rules made by men a dozen years ago apply to everyone else.

[Forkboy]

18. Ahhh...the mods are sexist. Now I get it.

:freak:

[Forkboy]

16. Nope. Hope you can do better if you're going to accuse the mods of being biased.

Because as it stands now you're just making yourself look foolish.

[AGirl]

19. I am sure I look foolish in front of a bunch of fools.

But any internet forum site that is not moderated will be bias against those are more more mature, older and less likely to visit internet forums. Those people also tend to be Clinton supporters. This forum is not moderated , and you are going to get alot of trolls, and most of them tend to be younger kids who don't have much to do and like to spend their time on internet forums and they tend to be Obama supporters.

[Forkboy]

21. Well if you look foolish to fools that doesn't say much for you.

This forum IS moderated. There are deleted posts, locks threads, etc. And the fact that both sides whine about it I'd say it's pretty fair moderation too.

Your post is assumption, innuendo and ignorance all wrapped in one.

[AGirl]

23. This forum is moderated just like the we have a president now. USELESS.

[Forkboy]

26. Well what do you expect from biased and sexist mods?

:eyes:

[AGirl]

27. not much.

[Forkboy]

29. Apparently not.

Why stick around then? Not trying to get rid of you, but why stay if it's sooooo bad? Makes little sense to me. :shrug:

[dionysus]

31. stick a Forkboy into her.. she's done

:toast:

[AGirl]

37. lol..it will take a little more than that.

[wrando]

32. try some of the others

I'm new to DU but besides Bartcop it's the most even handed.

Now I'm not talking about the posters, as it's clear who the majority favors, but the administrators have been fair.

Bill from ct

[TheDoorbellRang]

3. Agreed. We are all democrats

Too bad we have to do so much sifting thru drek here to get to the meaty threads by both sides. BO and HRC supporters -- hang tough everyone!

[SoFlaJet]

4. have you SEEN the main board here Perky

Christ Almighty-it's like you wandered over to some anti-Obama hate-fest board-every other thread is people trying to convince I don't know who, that Obama should just quit the race now because it's all over. I haven't SEEN such desperation here since the week before New Hampshire

[Texas Hill Country]

10. Peeps are pointing out serious weaknesses and problems w/ BO, not using rude and insulting terms .

There is a distinct difference with the way some of the Obama supporter address the Clintons vs Clinton supporters address the Obamas.

[Perky]

35. I think both sides suffer myopia.. I think Clinton fans are slightly worse

but just ever so slightly.

[Texas Hill Country]

41. i agree on rampant myopia, but would say that the obama supporters tend to be more vitriolic

Hillbot, calling her slime and a bitch, and much worse...

the worst i have seen is calling him a liar on this pastor gate thing. maybe i have not been around long enough, but just from what i have seen, the terminology has been much ruder coming from that direction.

but potato, tomato

[la la]

20. What?

where?

I see it coming from all sides, so I'm thinkin' you're a bit prejudiced in that respect-----maybe?

[scheming daemons]

5. I hope they stay too... they're very entertaining.... however unenlightening....

...

[Texas Hill Country]

6. Then please stop calling Hillary a bitch, a slime, that she is tearing apart the party, using ...

the terms Klinton Klan, Hillbot, etc.

Most of the pure venomous speech I have seen on here has come from the Obama camp and I am honestly quite shocked.

[Perky]

39. You don't thinl that is a two-way street?

[bobthedrummer]

7. "Inconvenient truths about the New Democrats, the Third Way, Democratic Leadership Council, etc."

read this active GD thread and learn about the political machine within the Democratic Party that abandoned the traditional Democratic Party base and policies decades ago-a political machine founded and funded by the RW

15. Hi bob.

~ poor reference to Bob Newhart show.

[bobthedrummer]

24. Hi.

:hi:

[K Gardner]

9. One correction: I don't consider PA "pentultimate".. Obama doesn't have to win to stay

ahead in states won, delegates, momentum or popular vote. Its buying into the clinton's ever-changing spin to buy into that latest moving of the goal posts.

[bhikkhu]

13. K&R! Read and Think, Dems!

[Deep13]

14. I guess I stopped caring what most others on this board thought of me a long time ago.

"Boycott" implies some level of concerted intention. In my case, I just don't like what this forum and the political dialogue in general has become. I'm not boycotting. I'm just not interested anymore.

[la la]

22. ditto--

thanks, deep13

I open the threads, all the while thinking---more shit, same AND different---different day It's about turned me off all of it.

[sueragingroz]

25. you don't have to worry about me

I considered leaving... briefly... because of the vitriol that I was seeing... then I started seeing the patterns.

Now I'm gonna stick around to see how this all turns out in November.

Please let it be a democrat in the WH!

[Rockholm]

28. What's up with all the typos?

[Perky]

33. Try dealing with a 4 year old and a one-year old and typng at the same time...lol

[Rockholm]

42. That will do it!

[JohnnyLib2]

30. Boycott? Where did that come from today?

Resilience is valued in the Clinton camp. :evilgrin:

[Perky]

34. Clinto foks are pruportedly boycotting DailyKos because they feel it is biased against them.

[burythehatchet]

36. Here's a picture that was sneaked out of their planning session

[BlackVelvet04]

38. Day after day the front page of GD: P has been full

of Anti-Hillary posts. Talk about monotonous.

[Perky]

40. ANd we arebobardred with REZKO and Wright continually.

Come on it works both ways.
