(9,385 posts)(For those who don't know -- it's one of the 3 large buttons under the bottom left corner of any OP. Click it, back arrow to the GDP page, refresh, and poof! it's gone. On the GDP page there's a tiny box at the end of each thread title... clicking that will trash the thread too.)
There are very few, if any, Clinton threads posted in GDP which are informative, or actually about something of interest. Most of them are just psychologically manipulative in some way. Like those "stages of grief" threads, I put all of them straight in the can. The point was simply to annoy us. Sometimes I read them, sometimes the title is enough to know what it is.
In any match up or contest, or election, a lot of it is psyching the other side out. If they can con us into defeating ourselves, so much the easier for them.
But back in the day I played a lot of sports and I won most of the time, and I always felt that... I'm going to play hard to win, but if I lose, I'm going to make it as hard as I possibly can for the other side. I'm going to make it an ordeal to defeat me. That's how this should be too.
We won't be forfeiting, and we won't be psyching ourselves out. That's making it way too easy, they'll have to fight us for every delegate.
