WTF has happened to DU? ......Rant. [View All]

[Buddyblazon]

I have been here for a long time.

I don't post much anymore.

I just read a post about new posters actually crying.



Get the hell out of politics if a message board makes you cry. What type of wimps are we attracting?

As you can see by my post count...I have been committed to the Democratic Party for at least several years. And I was fairly committed to DU for years. In all actuality, I have ALWAYS voted for the Democratic candidates.

But DU has just gotten too whiny and full of wimps in the past few years.

Our party is at a crossroads where we have an opportunity to attract literally millions of constituents that have never voted for a Democrat. And we've got people crying and whining like children.

Suck it up and show some fucking backbone for christ sakes. You can still care about the well being of Americans without being wimps.


Maybe it's because I'm a Union member...meat-eating...gun-toting (not really...but all my friends are gun-lovers and hunters) Democrat. But watching the way DU has evolved is just pathetic and I can guarantee that there are many out there that would likely come to our party...but watch our "poor me" pity party....and they just get turned off.


Stand up straight. Quite crying. Stick your chest out. Pound it a little. Show some pride and guts....and finally...stop crying over stuff people say to you on a message board.


End of rant.


Flame away.
