Is it me? or has the tone here at GD-P gotten nicer |

It seems to me there is less venom and nastiness this week, than the past few weeks.

I wonder if the "monster" comment was a wake up call for some? MY SO is an Obama supporter (I am Hillary) and he is not online at all. I kept trying to tell him the tone of the boards, and the level of name calling (as I see it, particularly against Hillary supporters). He didn't believe me till Samantha Powers made that comment. Now he does.

13. No. I'm not even a "REAL Democrat", even though I'be been |
|
a registered Democrat all my adult life and have voted Democratic in every election since 1968 - I was accused of that today. Apparently, I also need to leave this board because some male - not me - once said THEY wouldn't vote for the nominee, even though I've never once said that. But, depending on who you support, you may agree that "anyone who doesn't support YOUR choice isn't a REAL Democrat". Or that everyone who doesn't support your nominee needs to leave DU - NOW!
Otherwise. No.

a few times in the last 6 weeks. But I can see you took it as seriously as I did which was not at all.

I put people on ignore who don't seem to have any interest in dialogue. They have their talking points and no reason will sway them. When I feel it has become pointless to engage, I simply disengage.

24. Quite frankly, the bickering is getting more boring by the day. |
|
The same old hit jobs by the same posters over and over and over and over again. Both sides are guilty. I ought to go and try to locate a life.

34. The supporters aren't the problem. The pit bulls are the problem. |

I have no problem with people stating plainly why they like her. The idea of a woman pres. sounds good at first. But don't come in here with bumper sticker platitudes and expect that people won't tell you why she hasn't lived up to them in the past. Because she hasn't.
