In reply to the discussion: Why is DU's popularity waning? (Title edited, explanation within.) [View all]laundry_queen
(8,646 posts)And I don't know what DU the above people frequented, because it wasn't this one. I remember a lot of Dem bashing back when I started lurking even before the war. Anyone who acted like a republican got it (And richly deserved it). I think the difference now is that certain people forget what it was like and think that because there's a Democratic president, all criticism must cease. And then they go on about how this place has changed because there's criticism now. I think it's kind of funny when they think suddenly there are all these critics that never existed before and that DU has changed...when THEY are the ones who have changed, who have more vested in how their president is viewed and so seek to protect at all costs. So many of these posters I remember from BEFORE '08 when they said one thing and now they say another...the ONLY reason being because it is the administration's stance. Tell me why I should stand with people who have no principles?
