This is what we were arguing with when they were here. If you defend them, this is what you are defending. If you identify with them, well, you can figure out the rest.

(107,111 posts)Recently one blamed Trump on third way Democrats. I asked him to name any such people who currently hold office and he responded with a personal attack. Usually what one does when the can't defend their position.

stevenleser
(32,886 posts)Some of those folks with those beliefs are here and bringing that poison here.
The second is that these folks are a real part of DU history. And as I said to EllenG above, its important to learn from things that have transpired. If we dont we risk allowing the same things to happen again.

(101,154 posts)which was linked with "Socialist Independent" and "Populist Independent", and they eventually became "The Bell (Forum)". (... checking ...) Yes, that's still there, hanging on, just, with about 3 people posting in the last 3 months or so. I suspect they're now at JPR (I can't be bothered to see if they're using their old names), or trolling people on Facebook. They were the more straightforwardly Marxist people - they had a line-by-line reading of Capital, in which they had to understand how the price of a coat was fundamental to all economics before they could proceed.
LeftInTX
(24,560 posts)I found the Bell Forum and it explains alot!
Although DU was founded in response to Al Gore, many of those types probably did not vote for Al Gore or would never vote for a Democrat.

I don't think Obama is perfect, but I do think he's a very, very good man, and we as a nation were lucky to have him.
And I felt better about us that we elected him (by majorities!) twice.
Then, well, you know.

(31,261 posts)They are clueless. Generally I am the type of person who know what I am, so what other people think of me is irrelevant to me, I don't know you, but from reading your posts, you seem to be similar. Sorry, I don't watch Fox News, so I won't watch your appearances there.

(18,581 posts)and it makes sense: The only original requirement for membership there was a deep hatred of HRC and her family. Naturally, many members pushed for Trump as well as Bernie against anyone else seen as friendly to the Clintons.
I don't doubt that the founders and Manny, who is far as I know is in charge, understand they have a problem finding people who meet the standards but still identify as Democrats. They're being used as a republican propaganda machine. Maybe Manny himself is a Russian troll. He sure stirred the pot here on DU.
Manny is the only person here that earned me a jury hide for a reply in a dozen years.

(14,516 posts)The words stupifying mediocrity cannot be uttered in the same breath as Barack Obama by anyone with any integrity.
Yes, Obama was farther toward the center than I am, but he was a good, solid, moral man who won the presidency in a time of horrible economic upheaval.
I think we can all be proud of Obama for the way he conducted his presidency. I'm confident he will go down as a well-above-average, even great, president. By the way...how about readmitting me to the Obama room?
Just asking...
Besides, I can certainly think of someone else (hint, the current occupant of the WH) to which we can readily apply the words 'stupifying mediocrity.' He and his whole racist, misbegotten, ignorant administration...I've never seen corruption like this.

(83,355 posts)I guess Hill and Duers can be called a C on JPR but among there own it is not allowed. Sick people there. Most are repukes/Russians and disillusioned Bros that thought they were going to get their unicorn.

But really. Even non-fans have to look at him and say, wow. If they're honest, that is.
If they're not, well, envy comes to mind. It is sort of chastening to realize what obstacles he overcame to become the thoughtful, insightful, good basketball player that he is.

(32,886 posts)their anger and bitterness. And their anger and bitterness stems from not being able to accept a loss in a race where their candidate got 4 million fewer votes. Despite that they think the nomination was stolen from them.
