The level of discourse in this forum seems to sink to new depths every day. |

Sometimes when I wander in here I wonder if I've landed in freeperville by mistake. Same mind-numbing stupidity, childishness, bitterness, nastiness, ugliness, shallowness, etc. etc. ad nauseum day in and day out.
By now I guess I should know better, but old habits die hard. I'm going to do my best to stay out of here from now on. I pretty much lost all interest in these primaries last week when someone "disappeared" John Edwards, the only person that kept the process interesting to me.
I'm so tired and disgusted by all this that I fear that if I continue to hang around I'll be so worn out I'll lose all interest in voting next November.

it's a damned shame, too.
This is the only place on DU we can discuss electoral politics, and the utter failure to enact or enforce any rules has made it a cesspool.
There's no real discussion going on here - just childish smears, right-wing lies and spam.

3. I have to keep reminding myself ... |

... that BOTH Obama and Hillary are much better people than some of their "supporters" are.

I used to really love this as a place of refuge from the GOP onslaught, I've been here since 2001. Lately it feels like you have to come prepared for battle and expect to be belittled for my opinions ('specially if you question St. Barack!). Stressful, really. I keep coming back though, but some posters are unbelievable!

are both good politicians ,and I get tired of seeing them both bashed,I think either one of them will be a good President. All I can think of is it has been such a long 7 years and I just want these fucking republicans gone,and Hillary or Barack WILL make that happen.
