What real DUer ever make a blatantly fascistic statement like these

[whistle]

...thus making certain the thread posting would be locked?

21. This Community Does Not Exist To Foster Dialogue Of Not Supporting The Election Of Demorcrats.
If you don't like that, go somewhere else....And if you don't believe me, why don't you post a thread with the title of "If Hillary wins the nom in 08, I'm not voting for her" and see what happens to it.

35. Never. Nor Is It Now.
You weren't discussing the merits. You were publicly declaring that you would not vote for her if she wins the nomination. As a member of this board, you are expected to support the election of the Democratic candidate no matter who it is. I hope you realize that.

38. Yes There Is, As A Matter Of Fact.
If Hillary gets the nomination, we are expected to support her and it is against the rules to support opposition to her being elected. That is black and white...And lieberman won't be our nominee, so nice try. (Might as well throw somethin out of your ass like "what if hitler ran, would you vote for him?"....Publicly declaring here that you won't vote for the Dem nom is equivalent in my opinion to condoning victory for the republican.

<etc.>

....and the poster is allowed to flame throw and bait at any and all responses for another several dozen replies until the thread is locked. I don't get it

2. it takes at least 2

if everyone ignored the flame throwers instead of letting themselves be baited then the lock would not happen. IMHO -- which I do believe is the whole point of the new block feature.

3. this is typical posturing during the "primary season"

5. i don't know the person you're fighting with,

7. Who gets to say what a real DUer is or what they should say?

I want to define some other people, too. How many do I get?

8. I Know Those Capitalized Headlines All Too Well

9. Sorry, but the two-party system gives you no other choice.

That's what you get when you allot seats according to single-seat districts and then compound the problem using first-past-the-post voting.

[whistle]

11. What two party system, I'm talking about discussions here on DU

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

10. Well, if you won't vote for Hillary if she's the nominee, I don't really understand why you're here.

The POTUS race is all the marbles. Why anyone would pre emptively declare they won't vote for the current front runner, when it's such a long time till the election, is beyond me.

Some of us might wince while voting for certain candidates, but ANYTHING the repubs offer up will be worse. They've had six unfettered years to create a whole new cadre of neo cons (PNAC's closed up shop, who's next?).

So, I understand the posts you cite. MKJ
