So what's on the list?

[darkstar3]

I'm curious. What's on the list of things that "real" democrats, or liberals, or progressives, or leftists, aren't allowed to use, buy, or enjoy?

I'll start with a list of a few obvious things, which I also happen to enjoy.

Olive Garden
Soda
Hondas
Pit bulls

So what else is on this list? I think it's important to find out, because I was always under the impression that the difference between the left and the right was the fact that we wanted this country to be for everyone, while they wanted it just for themselves. More and more I'm reading things that say I must be wrong...

1. In this case "real" means white upper middle class

So, while it may be the left, it's still the elite authoritarian invested in the status quo left. A good Olive Garden type thread fills my ignore list up pretty fast.

3. Interesting take.

"White upper middle class" may explain some of the issues, though I'm not sure it's enough of an explanation. I know plenty of white upper middle class people who would never dream of getting into a massive argument over whether to dine at a chain Italian restaurant.

2. Just a rumor.. really..but I have heard people say...

Don't drink the Kool-Aid.

4. "Real" Democrats are no longer allowed to vote for Democrats.

Because not all Democrats are True Scotsmen or something.

5. +1 for the Scotsmen reference.

6. I don't currently reside in Scotland.

7. Edited.

Don't post while watching TV. You can sometimes write words that people say on there instead of what you want to say.

8. Damn. Now *I* look confused!

To the casual reader: darkstar3 (a pothead) called me a "Yeti" and then questioned my parentage. As if a Yeti could post smart-ass comments on the internet. Crazy, innit?

Wait, what?

[darkstar3]

9. Oh no, now you dragged pot into this thread.

Scotsmen are Yeti? Uh oh...
