(20,818 posts)it's interesting to finally be able to interact with them without them getting immediately zotted like they are here. And, for the civil ones who are actually amenable to, and intelligent enough for, some discussion, it's even more interesting. Sometimes echo chambers can get pretty boring.

(153,169 posts)why the f*** would you support a party that is anti-worker, anti-science, homophobic, misogynist, pro-torture, etc.?

(4,407 posts)It's kind of ood how they keep arguing that those people don't represent the party, but in a very literal sense, they do. When people don't actively say, "Hey, that's fucking not right," they de-facto endorse it. It's like people saying, "Well they're just not real Christians" about Christians who say fucked-up stuff. Refute it (loudly) or own it!

(31,493 posts)Kind of a soft hack. Log in twice. On one login swipe over gender, then look at the source, then double click on gender ...when it opens and shows the selections click edit text and change it to what ever you want then update and leave the tab on for that login ...and then use your other login.

(14,400 posts)for something like that. Given a couple of drinks I might play along for awhile but so far it's looking a lot like Yahoo Groups.
MrScorpio
(73,631 posts)That's why this new site is so nostalgic for me.

....so if anyone shows up there as some variation of RainDog - it ain't me. If I go there, I'll use the same user name, tho.

(22,336 posts)and I see conservatives are there, and our "progressives" who don't believe in privilege (whether white, straight, male, or some combination) seem really happy to have more people who agree with them to talk to. They can bash "others" with the Rand Paul fan club.

I don't play well with republicans. My first and only post got hidden 7-0 (and rightfully so).
I prefer DU, where I don't have to worry much about hearing republican rants that make me say bad things. I've decided stay here where I belong and where I don't want to knock some poster's block off.
