To Those DU'ers Who See The Big Picture In November, I Need Your Help.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

I'm hoping what I'm about to request isn't considered completely inappropriate. I have had quite a long week and my brain's a little fried, so maybe my judgment isn't as strong as it could be right now. All I know is that after a really long and tiring week, this influx of Dem bashing threads is really starting to get frustrating.

Regardless of how some feel about some individual Democrats or the differing perceptions to the levels of responses to certain issues from the Democratic Party itself, most of us would still agree that November carries an immense amount of importance and we must come together the best we can to ensure victory. It is not just a narrow picture of like this candidate, don't like that one. This election is about putting the Democratic Party in the majority. It must be viewed as a whole. It is all or nothing. Some may say this is a shrubby-like 'you're either with us or against us' philosophy and I would say you are exactly right. But it applies here. In the terms of GLOBAL importance of this upcoming election and the overall mission of DU itself, this simply IS a with us or against us scenario. Advocating against ANY Dem on the ballot or taking up positions that can only serve to discourage others against voting for certain Dems, is just quite simply working against everything DU is here to accomplish. It is with us or against us. It simply is a choice of help the Dems as a WHOLE win the majority, or work against us. It is not an individual candidate popularity contest.

So, having that said, I'm asking for the team spirit help from those DU'ers who agree and understand this simple concept. Like I said above, I'm not sure if the following request is inappropriate. I'm hoping it isn't. What I want all of those that align with the premise above to do, is to simply commit to not replying to threads that in some way advocate against our mission, but instead seek out threads that rally it. It may not be a guarantee to rid ourselves of the contradictory to our cause threads, but at least if we ignore their premise the best we can we have a better shot of those threads sinking like a rock. In my opinion, the faster those threads can sink the better. I'm going to commit myself to here on out not kicking such things.

Like I said, I'm hoping that request isn't overly inappropriate. I fully understand that some can accuse and be angry with me for advocating against a 'free speech' concept, but my response to that would simply be this: The mission of DU (in my opinion) isn't to be a free for all sounding board for venting frustrations and criticisms against Democrats. It is to GET DEMOCRATS ELECTED AND SPREAD TRUTH!

My apologies if this post is uncalled for. All I know is that I'm fed up right now with finding threads that actually seem to cross the line of dissent and instead actually advocate positions against our cause. I'm sure many of you are as well. So let's do what we can, and more than anything let's stick together and forge forward despite our differences, to make sure at all costs we've done whatever we could to win back congress in November. Vote. But more importantly, make sure you vote Democratic. We are being counted on globally.

Peace,
