"Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind."


Some of you were not around for 2008... so you do not remember. But the war between the then Clinton supporters and the Obama supporters got bad. There were many bruised egos. Hell, when she finally conceded, some left in a huff creating the Party Unity My Ass, PUMA for short.

What I am seeing on this site makes that looks like a pikers vacation. Some folks are throwing divisive shit, trying to get people to react. Some are just calling people names (on all sides mind you)...

Some of us do not care who the **** you vote for. Hell, it is none of your business who I vote for... it is that simple... that secrecy is guaranteed by LAW. But what is happening here... well the scabs from 2008 are now off, the wounds are getting deeper... and it might tear a few folks away from Democrats.

Keep doing this, and I can predict this war will be nuclear. I can also predict this site will not heal.

And yes, from now on you post a divisive OP... expect me to call you on it. I am damn tired of it... that is not a threat... it is a promise. You post divisive shit calling supporters of candidates names, expect me to just point it out. Divisive shit. I expect this behavior to continue, but silence IS consent.

I also expect to be alert stalked, already started. And I also expect to have some individuals push buttons. Guaranteed, that your pushing of buttons will be answered with just two words. DIVISIVE SHIT. Or if this is actually bullying., the word bully

This is not healthy, but you know what? I am actually looking forward to failing in this endeavor due to the forces at play and for even MORE people to give up on politics and just retreat to their lives. There is so much abuse people will take. And I expect those same people to blame the voters for argle, bargle, usual blame game.

And to the hosts... the fact that this is allowed, I know it is not a bug, it is a feature. So if you close this down... it will not surprise me either.

1. I'm with you, nadin.

Why posters continue to slam one candidate while supporting another is beyond me.

My "ignore" list continues to grow...

Hang in there!

36. Locking thread.

Statement of Purpose

A forum for general discussion of the Democratic presidential primaries. Disruptive meta-discussion is forbidden.

Threads complaining about Democratic Underground or its members; threads complaining about jury decisions, locked threads, suspensions, bannings, or the like; and threads intended to disrupt or negatively influence the normal workings of Democratic Underground and its community moderating system are not permitted.

Ya know, she was making sense (if somewhat condescending) - from their POV - until the second half of her post, where she went narcissistic martyr. May nads be doomed to be a narcissistic Cassandra!

[obumazombie]

So, let me get this straight.
The jury says it's not meta.
Then a mod comes along, says it's meta and locks the thread.
That's some wonderful democracy going around at Democratic Underground.

It's good prep for the Democrat National Convention, when Hillary's superdelegates will dash any hopes that Red Bernie will be nominated.

The fix is in, lurking DUmmies.

The exit-polls said it was meta...they've got spreadsheets to prove it.

You know well enough that the DUmp is no democracy.

Remember -
  This crap happens in Democratic circles as a whole. 'The God/Jerusalem vote' at the 2012 Democratic party convention is testament to that. The delegates repeatedly voted against reinstating God & Jerusalem, and the DNC went in and restored it anyway by falsely claiming 2/3rds of the votes even though the vote obviously failed. This DU lock after jury fail is essentially the same thing.

A reminder to lurking DUmbasses....
