GD has gotten SO dumb lately....

[Bicoastal]

You guys are flaming away over an ASSUMPTION! Arguing at the top of your lungs about something that hasn't even HAPPENED yet! "You are SO going to get banned!" "Go ahead and BAN me, then!" Here's a prediction: no one's going to get banned because it's October 2007, and the general election isn't for more than a year. Anything said regarding voting/not voting comes across as a laughably hollow threat at this juncture--after all, how can you stand with or rally against a Democratic nominee who hasn't even been nominated yet?

If you don't want a particular candidate to win the nomination, spend your spare time volunteering for other candidates and your DU time singing their praises to us. (I, for one, remain undecided--go ahead and try to convince me!) And remember--it's still early enough in the game that ANYTHING can happen.

But good Lord, the first primary is still far away, and some people are living like it's October 2008.

1. It's my fault. I'm sorry

I've only been here for about 36 hours and already the avg IQ of DU has dropped by 30 points. I'd explain how that works, but I'm not too good at math

[lligrd]

5. I Think The Invasion Of The Loungers Must Have Helped

That and the NSA agents that visit regularly. And don't forget the lurking Freepers. Taken collectively and adding your IQ to the mix and we are lucky to only have dropped by 30.

3. Some seem to be working for the self fulfilling prophecy regarding ineveitbility

by carrying on that anyone opposed to her now is in some sort of violation of DU rules about the nominee.

THAT arrogance is worse than most of my hesitance about HRC. If her supporters are THAT arrogant and/or insistent that it is their way or the highway, it does not speak well for what we can look forward to from her administration. In light of that, I truly hope she is NOT our nominee. We have had enough of bully tactics and the majority of voters in America will be shunning more of the same.

The Right wants us to nominate HRC. That is enough to give me heart burn right there. The shout down tactics of some of her supporters here seal the deal. No to HRC in the primaries. Trying to stifle fair dissent to HRC NOW, BEFORE THE PRIMARIES is getting mighty close to brown shirt bully tactics and it fucking stinks.

11. Could you qualify your comments about her supporters

by employing the word "some"? Because most of her supporters don't engage in the behavior you're talking about. It's a bit unfair to use such a broad brush.

And comparing any of her supporters to Nazis is just way beyond the realm of common decency. I've seen nothing that can be characterized like that.

Brown shirt bully tactics accusation=fucked up.

18. Cali, look at the FIRST WORD of my subject line.

Qualifer right up front.

You are most welcome to asses the tactics of bullying however you wish. As may I.
