We're screwed
Edited on Fri Oct-30-09 06:39 PM by UrbScotty
I don't really think we're screwed. But it seems some of the more popular posts around here talk about how screwed we are.

So here. Have some screwdrivers.

6. We are screwn, Bush did that. What is happening is that we are trying to get unscrewn.

If the health care bill isn't as good as it could be than were are still screwn somewhat.

2. How come nobody ever says we're nailed?
Hammers seem to be more effective and would be more painful

I'm getting really tired of reading "we're fucked" and "we're screwed" posts.

11. Yep. I have a great example recently actually.
There's this poster who I've noticed is always super negative in their GD posts.

I had some post about Seinfeld in the effing lounge and this person comes in and starts talking about how its the worst show ever and why people still talking about it.

17. I know people like that...
Anything to be contrary... even if it really makes them look idiotic. As long as it's contrary.

Good old Contrary Harry!

18. Its gotten to the point where as long as a person is civil and measured
I'll listen to what they have to say no matter how much I disagree. But if every post is filled with hyperbole and oozing with anger regardless of the topic then I generally ignore the author.

13. Dude... the more we agree...
The more... I don't even know anymore!

:rofl:

Yeah, I'm beat up. We're at least heading in the right direction, but I guess I'm not supposed to take that as a good sign?

I think too many have forgotten history. Medicare was a hell of a battle, and what we have now is the most incredible progress we've had since that time. But don't you dare say it gives you hope for more change!

It really is huge when you have perspective.

Ugh.

10. Yeah, I'm about worn out...
DU burnout maybe.

We fight, we gain some ground, and then I'm told we're screwed because we didn't get more. Quite frankly, after 8 years of nothing, I think we're doing ok. At least we are FINALLY heading in the right direction instead of going backward.

We are all hurting, some physically, some financially, some emotionally... some all three. But instead of commiserating and continuing the fight, we're at each other's throats.

Fuck me. I give the fuck up. I swear to fucking God. I'm tired of you, I'm tired of me, I'm tired of DU.

We win ground, and this is how we treat each other... Jesus.

the thing that ticks me off the most are our DU friends who are constantly lambasting Obama because "we're not getting what we want" or "he's not moving fast enough!". Jesus.

I supported Hillary in the primary, but proudly voted for and supported Obama in the general. I think he is doing an admirable job. I could not be prouder.

21. Edwards/Hillary/Obama here...
I was one of the very last to jump on the Obama bandwagon. It feels really bizarre to be one of his more loyal DU supporters. I don't like everything he's done, I'm not under the spell of The Magic Negro like my RW cousins claim... yeah, they are pathetic bigots... but that's another story. I'm not drunk on the Obama Kool Aid, I'm not a blind follower. I'm just trying to keep it real... and there's very little reality around here right now.
