2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I would like to remind the more outspoken and angry of this..... [View all]HereSince1628
(36,063 posts)if it's a matter of just pure anxiety because people know a particular candidate is historically polarizing
or
is it a matter of projection from 2008, when one candidate's supporters pushed piss on party unity
or
is anxiety that lingers all the way back to 2000 and the believe that Ralph Nader's candidacy blew it for Gore more than did FL manipulation of vote counting and court cases.
In any case, I think this is a topic isn't timely. It's repetition is for most a pure bore and for too many an opportunity for a fight.
Personally I wish the Admins would would pin a thread on this topic and topics related loyalty oaths to the top of GD-P and then move all such posts to be replies to that thread. This wouldn't stiffle people's expression, it would put all such threads in a single place where the temporal changes in dynamics might be tracked and it would free the forum of anxious dumb-shittery
