I heard that they were going to have to change the name of DU to DWS

[liberal N proud]

All DWS, all the time. That way those who can't get enough of bashing Debbie Wassermann Schultz will have somewhere dedicated to doing nothing but posting anti Debbie Wassermann Schultz rhetoric.

Meanwhile, somewhere there is a convention going on and an critical election taking place but some would rather spend all their time protesting the DWS thing.

1. Any outrage will do.

They don't have anything else ... so DWS is this week's outrage.

2. 15 out of 80 1st page threads in GD:2016, for the most talked about US political story of today

(It was reported on BBC news this morning, for instance). It doesn't seem that much of a problem to ignore the 15 threads if you think there's nothing more to be said. The resignation of the chair of the DNC on the eve of the nominating convention, because of a revelation about DNC favoritism, is notable.

4. And why is that?

People need to stop letting the media decide what they talk about. They should be discussing Trump's Putin ties and the fact he was ordered to pay attorneys fees in a case he lost and that he has allowed white supremacist to have access to his campaign. All very interesting subjects.

7. And they should let you decide, instead?

Okey-dokey.

There are about 27 Trump threads on the same top page, about half of which are about his Putin links. But you're moaning DWS has just over half that number of threads.

8. The media should be objective in some form

And not flogging stupid email shit when there is much more interesting stuff about Trump. How interesting that you're not interested in the dirt on Donald.

10. You have failed to determine what I'm interested in

I haven't posted on DU about DWS's resignation until this thread, which looked like pointless whining, and now has a comical "DUers shouldn't let the media decide what they post about - they should let ME decide what they post about instead" comment in it. I had, however, already posted about Trump and his Russian connections: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2283245 . And, if it makes you happy, about the Wikileaks anti-semitic tweet: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8042102

11. I did not say me so quit with that unfair straw man

We now ordinary people would be very interested in the Donald's flaws and that the media fails to discuss them at all.

[muriel_volestrangler]

14. In #4, you told us what DUers "should be discussing" (nt)

[treestar]

19. I meant what the media should be discussing

And that leads to DUers discussing, since they go off the media to find material to talk about.

Bernie is way past over it, too.

17. When the Anti Wasserman-Schultz campaign began, I thought they were talking about...

Dancing With the Stars.

18. Fuck Putin and his best girl Stein & co., and his good ol' boy Trump

Jill Stein who said she would put criminal Snowden, granted asylum in Russia by Putin, in her cabinet.
