2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Charles Blow: Stop Bernie-splaining to Black Voters [View all]DonCoquixote
(13,616 posts)They get outdone by the sheer number of replies; the fact that you get those replies might as well say "instant milestones" which , to those with a brain, means "read this op and pay attention to what this person is trying to say." The fact that several people lost their temper, let their demons out of their keyboard, and got hid is a badge of honor, kind of like the way the Red baron would mark the side of his plane with a cross for every kill.
Now, if people let their emotions cool down, they could at least use the respectful tone, asking "well, what about this" or "what if that?", the classic TOOLS used to discuss and analyze life. Bravenak, based on private discussions, you pretty much know how I feel about certain candidates, but, I know that trying to ram shit down your throat is an easy way to lose, just like the Latinos yelling at me and calling me a race traitor for not supporting Cruz or Rubio turn ME off.
PS: if the above statement is wrong, please tell me.
I will add my rec, but honestly, in the utter hellhole that DU becomes every election year, I would not value them much. Now seeing the same people that howl in other groups finally lose it and get hid, or self hidden under "name Removed" or "post removed by poster", that is a sign that you are offending they that need to be offended.
