My message to them....
In your face Teabagging nuts!

[Cha]

10. That's

key, isn't it? }(

[Oregone]

6. Teams are for sports, games and swinger parties.

[FrenchieCat]

11. whatever!

:eyes:

[Jennicut]

26. Swinger parties? You have some experience in that area?

Just kidding! }(

[Fire1]

[FrenchieCat]

14. Yes, I do!

You are on the FIRED UP AND READY TO GO side!

[Lifelong Protester]

9. I'm on that team, and your team

and hey, you're not the one that made teams and sports metaphors the one thing most people can understand, that is just how it is.

[FrenchieCat]

12. There you go!

[Hissyspit]

13. Which team are you on?

It's not a basketball game.

I have no problem with compare and contrast, but I'm not particularly impressed by simplistic demands for tribal loyalty. A little too reminiscent of, well, where were you in 2001-2008?

[FrenchieCat]

16. Yes. This thread was an exercise in discussing the shaded nuances of politics!

or

My team are Americans.....and I side with those doing the most for them.


(I understand what you mean,
but you also understood what I meant
even if your post doesn't indicate such.)

[Hissyspit]

17. Well, no, I didn't understand what you meant, which is the problem with simplistic

tribal loyalty sports metaphors. Other than that, the post was fine.

[FrenchieCat]

18. Anyways.......

I've had a decent week,
how about you?

[Cha]

31. BFD.. Team schmeme..

Is "side" better? Which side of the isle are you on?

I'm on the side that freakin' works for America:patriot::patriot:

I'm not on the side that's full of extremist assholes.

That's pretty clear cut.

[Fire1]

19. So glad you approve. n/t

[chieftain]

15. Like you, FC, I am proudly on the President's team. n/t

[FrenchieCat]

20. From one Democratic Underground member to another......

[Jackeens]

21. A sublime summary of an extraordinary week!

:toast:

[FrenchieCat]

25. Sublime! Good word for it!

:toast:

[Odin2005]

22. I hate sports analogies.

Politics isn't a game.

[FrenchieCat]

23. Well OK!

[boppers]

28. Sports analogies?

It has a much broader, and deeper, meaning:

Pull, drag, tow together, a set of animals working in concert.

[prolesunited]

24. I'm for TEAM AMERICA

[Jennicut]

27. Dems are the adults, Rethugs act like spoiled children.

[Lorien]

29. I don't root for "teams" ; I fight for progressive legislation and action

Issues matter, branding and meaningless slogans are nothing more than a distraction. I fight the corporate forces that seek to own and control every aspect of this country while removing workers rights and poisoning our environment-AND I fight their enablers.

[FrenchieCat]

30. I do a lot of things.... root, fight, etc......

Glad to know you multitask too! :hi:
