There are some very good things being done in politics -- almost exclusively by our Democrats, of course. And there are some shit-show-related news that should be reported on. But at this point, do you really care about every little move Trump makes or every little insult he throws at someone or every little new post he makes on his social media page? Or the same for Musk? They are the shittiest, bottom-of-the-barrel types and everyone should know this by now. Living on every breath they take and breathlessly reporting it back here on DU serves no purpose. We all -- or we all SHOULD know -- that they are shitty human beings. As bad as they are today, they will only get worse. They are also narcissists, so they love starting shit and getting people to amplify it and give them the attention they crave. Some of the shit they start is newsworthy -- most is not.

If you and the other pro-Musk crowd were so confident in your numbers... W_HAMILTON Dec 2022 #55

No. We skipped a stupid poll. That's all. Emrys Dec 2022 #57

You skipped a poll because you know you would lose the poll. W_HAMILTON Dec 2022 #59

I think you overestimate how much other people are invested in all this compared to you. Emrys Dec 2022 #60

I don't respond to you for your sake. W_HAMILTON Dec 2022 #61

It isn't "magical" that people who don't agree with you would skip highplainsdem Dec 2022 #38

I would say it's more indicative of the feeling around here than not. W_HAMILTON Dec 2022 #15

You phrased your poll question to attract the people who agree with you and highplainsdem Dec 2022 #17

I honestly could not care any less about what Elon Musk says, does or who he is. lees1975 Dec 2022 #26

This isn't about Musk. It's about the compromise of a global town hall w fascist influences. FlyingPiggy Dec 2022 #28

It's a shit show. And it will continue to be a shit show as long as Musk as the owner. W_HAMILTON Dec 2022 #32

Your ill tempered argument could be said for all of politics. FlyingPiggy Dec 2022 #40

Not really. W_HAMILTON Dec 2022 #48

Your monthly "I hate X and so should you" post..... brooklynite Dec 2022 #30

It's a poll. W_HAMILTON Dec 2022 #34

DU only has 63 users? Seems like more. brooklynite Dec 2022 #39

Do you expect tens of thousands of DUers to participate in a poll? W_HAMILTON Dec 2022 #47

No, but neither do I expect someone to extrapolate DU opinion from 63 votes. brooklynite Dec 2022 #49

Then I guess we can never figure out how DU feels then, huh? W_HAMILTON Dec 2022 #50

I think we can maybe gauge admin's attitude from something that happened yesterday Emrys Dec 2022 #52
