1. A little advice JK
Popularity contest demean the contributions of others. Not only that but if one is nominated even though they didn't ask to be, they draw the wrath of others to the point of being accused of being in some "clique" even though they did nothing to deserve the accusation except post and participate on DU so it's a lose/lose game.

Thanks for hearing me out.

2. These are the same nominees as Maggie had on her juice thread
I for the record voted other. Sorry to anyone who wasnt included, its just I did anyone I could think of offhand and the ones that Mag had on the juice thread. Sorry again. Thanks for calling me out NSMA, god I am winning :eyes:.

3. No need to be sorry, you were just having fun
The younger folks on DU don't add all the meaning to this stuff that the so-called adults do.

Oh, someone just posted something in GD that has me so utterly upset. I don't think I've seen a more insulting statement towards fellow DEms ever. Please I need a voice of reason, tell me something nice.

I can do a college one poll. You gotta be under 18 to be involved, lol now get the opposite of a fake ID, that makes you appear younger than you are. Sorry Zack, its just I dont consider you a kid, the names on here are the people in HS. No offense to you personally.

45. That's too bad that you think that now.
Maybe in a few years you will lose your shyness and your politics may be the one that resonates with voters. I used to be shy, but overcame it. A little trick that someone taught me was to think of everyone you are afraid to speak up to as being in their underwear, or with zits on their face or other awkward things. It helps you to overcome the shyness.

51. The Nighttrain and Professor GAC ticket.
They would easily be a better ticket than the appointed ones (who wouldn't) but they also know their shit when it comes to music.

An awesome ticket either way.
