Is anyone else sick to death of these topics?

[leftyladyfrommo]

Donald Trump
The guys in Oregon
Bernie bashing
Hillary bashing
Obama bashing
Guns

I'm down to the kitten gifs. And the weather reports. Oh, and political cartoons. I like those.

[RKP5637]

1. Yep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[tazkcmo]

2. Guns.

I'm sick of the shootings and inaction but I think it's an important issue and needs to be in the news. As for the rest of your list, remove the word "bashing" and I want the news on these people as they are in positions of power and influence. The Oregon issue should have been ended already.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Blocking GD-P and the candidate groups helps...

Filtering Trump and guns helps even more

Not much left to read, though.

[In_The_Wind]

4. Watching the weather can be very entertaining.

[onehandle]

5. President Obama has moved the disaster of gun terrorism to the forefront.

Until it's taken care of, it will remain there.

[lame54]

6. loving the Oregon fools

[leftyladyfrommo]

9. I just wish they would go home.

Leave that land to the Piutes. And the birds.

[randome]

31. That shit never gets old.

The endless, mindless bashing, I agree we have had more than enough of that.

7. I am very tired of

the Democratic principles bashing... otherwise all of these things should be topics of serious discussion, education and possible solutions... bashing does NO one any good

[hamsterjill]

15. I agree.

Especially the candidate bashing. ANY candidate.

At this point, does anyone honestly think they're going to change someone's mind who has decided to vote for a particular candidate in the primary? It's senseless to argue and divide the party. We all simply need to go and vote for our candidate of choice in the primary, and see who the nominee is. Then we all need to come together behind that nominee. Anything less than coming together behind the ultimate nominee is simply going to hand the white house to the Republicans.

8. To DEATH.

I take Trump as seriously as I take a message board commenter who types "STATIST" in all caps.

[Katashi_itto]

14. STATIST

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. It's not that they aren't serious issues.

It just that the arguments just get nowhere. And it's the same stuff over and over and over.

[nruthie]

11. Good God, yes.

At this point I'm sick of everything. Endless talk. Trump, Oregon loons, Hilary, Bernie, blah, blah. It's like everyone in the world has lost their collective minds.

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. I know. It's like everyone has just gone crazy.

I try to read the paper every morning and I end up crying.

I don't think I have ever seen a time where there is so much hate out there.

[smirkymonkey]

26. I just don't know why we need 500 threads on the same topic.

I look on GD and it is dominated by about 5 topics and nothing else gets any attention. It just gets really boring after a while. I don't know, maybe I just have a really short attention span.

[Fumesucker]

34. It's pretty much always been that way, a few topics dominate GD

Almost always thanks to whatever the M$M happens to be obsessing about.

[First Speaker]

12. The Oregon clowns just announced the formation of the Republic of Freedonia...

...as told by their leader, Rufus T Firefly...

[hifiguy]

37. Groucho was far too smart a cookie

to have anything to do with Owl Qaeda/Yokel Haram.

[Dawgs]

13. Hell no.

I love shit.

[cali]

16. I've been posting about the horrible legislation being passed

in the House. Jump right in.

[oldandhappy]

17. Big thanks to n2doc for the daily toons. Starts my day off well.

[el_bryanto]

18. Not really. Those are the issues of the day

I mean if I get bored or frustrated with politics I just withdraw for a bit, focus computer games or TV or reading or something.

[leftyladyfrommo]

19. The thing is that we don't seem to have serious discussions anymore.

It's just people being horrible to each other. Calling each other names like "dipshit" and stupid and way worse. I don't like that in my daily life and I hate it here.

I hate that kind of thing. So much sarcasm and blood letting going on. And that is just within the party. You get outside the party and it gets a lot worse.

[bigwillq]

21. No (nt)

[Bonx]

22. We need more White privilege threads.

I don't think twenty per day is enough.

[whathehell]

29. Lol

[Rebkeh]

23. Yes with two exceptions

1. The guys in Oregon is a big deal. These people are rarely exposed in the daily coverage even though their dangerous ideology has been lurking for decades. As a person of color, I don't think this one is trivial or can be overdone.

2. Guns because... see number one.

The rest on your list though, I agree.

[beevul]

24. Amazingly, there are forums and groups set up to discuss at least some of those...

Amazingly, there are forums and groups set up to discuss at least some of those, specifically.

In fact, there are even rules and guidelines, as to what gets posted where, and why.

All you need, is posters willing to follow them.

[PersonNumber503602]

30. Where's the Trump forum?

[smirkymonkey]

25. God yes!

We really know how to beat a dead horse around here! Aren't there other things going on in the world? I haven't been coming here as much because this site just gets so repetitive.

[Kalidurga]

27. Polls

specifically national polls. Polls for specific states and demographics are a lot more interesting/relevant. National polls tell us so very little about well anything other than a candidate has or doesn't have name recognition nationally.

[PersonNumber503602]

28. I got tired of the unproductive Bernie, Clinton, and Obama bashing a long time ago

When I say bashing, I don't mean criticisms about them, but the weird completely irrelevant and often times made up "drama".

I literally tapped out of the Hillary vs. Bernie thing several months ago.

I would find Trump amusing if it was just a TV show and not real life. :/

I don't mind the gun debates, because I think it's an issue that needs to be addressed. Although, it's mostly just people talking at each other instead of to each other.

I'd rather the Oregon guys be ignored. The sooner that happens the sooner they will pack up their toys and either go home, or face whatever legal consequences there are to be faced.

32. K&R

I'm tired of the candidate bashing and the bashing of supporters of the various candidates. All it makes for is bad feelings and I'm not going to do it.

[IcyPeas]

33. I am MAD AS HELL.....

that there isn't even one kitty gif in this entire thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! C'mon DU.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[CTyankee]

35. well, there will be an art essay in GD tomorrow that I think you will enjoy...

it is on the opulence of the Edwardian age and I hope it will be an uplift for you...

[lunatica]

36. I don't come to DU much anymore

But I decided to do that specifically because it's the Presidential campaign season. Last time it was brutal and I knew I couldn't take any of that again. It's crazy how much figurative bloodshed there is during Presidential elections where Democrats are involved.

[countryjake]

38. Hows about white privilege?

(sorry, but I can't help but agree with the Burns Paiute Tribe's opinion on those dudes in Oregon)

[one_voice]

39. Bill. Clintons. Sex. Life. I heard enough in the 90's...

don't want to hear it again.
