That thread seemed to have started an avalanche of negative posts. Lots of "I'm taking a break" posts, and lots of posts complaining about Obama being too Republican, Democrats not being Progressive enough, yadda yadda yadda. I think one poster may have touched on a theory that has some validity. You are either on board to go full on *Progressive *Revolution *Arab Spring *Socialism, or you stick with the Democrats. It's like watching an amoeba divide.
The best outcome of Skimmers gay thread was the plan for Not One Damn Queer Day.
