If we were to fast-forward to October, this forum would sound just like some
right-wing anti-Democratic site. I really don't believe it. I have been here awhile and this does not sound healthy. I never counted how many people are involved in the Clinton-Obama bashing, but it is not healthy. I always thought we were the grass roots.

In two weeks time we'll all be cultists.

4. Let's face it, there's no "we" in DU
"We" in politics implies a group of people with a common purpose or similar beliefs. That's certainly not true in DU. The very anonymity makes that impossible.

We're a mixture of the politically educated, the grassroots=type activists, the merely interested, and some who childishly come to these boards specifically to get attention by spamming and slamming.

"Ignore" is my friend!

5. No, it won't. There might be a lot of granite cookies doled out between now and then,
but it definitely WON'T sound like that.
