17. Gotcha and thanks!

I don't delude myself into thinking my beliefs are going to change anyones mind in GDP, or GD either for that matter. At least not when it comes to who their choice in the primary is. I do know that the nastiness is just a turnoff to me. Not toward the person they support but rather toward the poster showing their arse.

Now that I've experienced a primary season on DU I can fully understand why everyone who survived the last one spoke of it the way they did. They're not our best moment. x(

BTW, I like the intention of your post. :)

2. Female on the fence.

I voted for Hillary in our (Jersey) primary, but now I just don't know.

How I feel is, that I don't want to vote for either anymore, mostly because of all the name calling, shit throwing and down right bullshit going on here at DU. I would prefer to write in someone else, like Biden or Gore. Not that I will vote for McSenior - not if he was the last person to vote for.

18. Probably not with other posters, but the ones who silently lurk, collecting opinions....

...Those are the ones who count.

Sometimes posted opinions DO make it way into the ethers, where they get picked up by all sorts of interesting people.

6. if someone is nice, I'll listen, and potentially change my mind, but the rude people

well, they never know what they are talking about. All emotion, no facts.

As for me changing someone else's mind, nah I doubt it.

13. Emotion

12. Not enough options

a "No, I don't think it will matter" option needs putting in place

14. Well, I'm a male, on the fence, and tired of being impaled.

I wish they'd team up, lose, or whatever so the competing political parties can have their field days -- this is politics, we shouldn't be bashing our own, ruh-roh...

15. I change minds every time I post,

asshole.
