When we choose a nominee, will the circular firing squad stop?

[PlanetBev]

[ieoeja]

1. Yes

[Walt Starr]

2. Read the DU rules

If it doesn't sto after the nominee is set, there will be accounts tombstoned.

[CMT]

3. it is supposed to

because DU rules state that once democratic nominee is chosen that attacks on him will not be allowed, so people will have to either leave or post on other subjects if they cannot support the nominee.

[slinkerwink]

5. in that case, GD will be a very quiet place

;-)

[Exultant Democracy]

10. No, it will be a very productive place.

[redqueen]

4. Yes n/t

[mmm]

6. You bet.

[Duder]

7. My suggestion to DU...

Would be no more attacks after January.

[LuminousX]

9. Great idea. It won't work.

All it takes is one a-hole to post an attack and everything immediately reverts back to the way it was.

[LuminousX]

8. Yes, but not immediately

If Dean gets the nomination, this place is going to be lousy with prophets of doom for 2004. Hopefully after a month of that it will chill and people will remember that the real point of all of this is to get rid of Bush.

If Kerry gets the nomination there will be a lot of sour relationships but again, after a month things will sort themselves out and Bush will regain focus.

I'm not sure what this place will be like if Clark, Edwards, or Kucinich gets the nomination.

[quinnox]

11. Yea, according to rules

After the nominee is chosen you can't attack him anymore.

If the Dems nominate a candidate that one doesn't like, some of us will probably leave DU for awhile.

[PlanetBev]

12. But will the attacks stop nationwide?

I should have been more specific. If it's going on here, it's all over the country. Hope we don't sabotage ourselves in '04.

[Zomby Woof]

13. that would be no fun at all

:evilfrown:

[leftofthedial]

14. no

the Rove-ists who post regularly here will continue to sow discontent, controversy and disruption

[election_2004]

15. Not if Lieberman is nominated...

Although I won't be posting here anymore if Willie Tanner gets in, so you won't get any "troublemaking" from me.
