Let's keep score on the hate posts about our great democrats who may be

[applegrove]

running as the Democratic Presidential nominee in 2020. I count 1 troll post against Joe Kennedy III tonight. Obviously Joe would be a threat to the GOP or the Russians or both. Joe is leading the race tonight. III cheers for Joe Kennedy III. Who is with me?

1. I'm 61 and have no problem with younger leaders

2. You're just starting now?

My Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, has been the target of massive, disgusting, and completely ignored TOS violations for quite some time here on DU now.

6. Absolutely. I though we should make it a habit to point out GOP and Russian

fears.

7. I would be happy to vote for Sen. Gillibrand

3. Sound like you're trying to resurrect the meta forum.

Booo.

[applegrove]

5. What was the meta forum? I skipped over knowing about that.

12. I think you were around for it. It was a brief experiment by DU Admin.

The meta forum was a place for DUers to discuss DU. It started off fine, but it ended up being a cesspool of people calling out each other, troll hunters hunting trolls and acting like thought police, and whining-fests.

So your post was a little bit meta-like.

13. Did you see the Kennedy post? It was a complicated graphic artist work

slurring Kennedy. It was not someone opining on his lack of experience. It was put out by a group with a made up name. If they are going to put up considerable efforts to tear down our potential Democratic leaders we must muster a little effort to note their fears. In fact my the more effort they put in the more it is information of who they are scared of. Look for them never to slur Tim Kaine. I do vaguely remember the meta forum.

14. I didn't see that post. I'll take your word for it that it was unpleasant.

4. I will proudly cast my vote for any Democrat that wins the primary

8. Been called for a jury twice

on such matters and have voted to HIDE! I will continue to do so.

9. There's already been anti-Biden spam, which are the same methods as the anti-Hillary spam.

Same denigration of Democrats. The same exact propaganda.

Joe Biden
Joe Kennedy
Democrats in general

Those are the trends I've seen just recently.

[applegrove]

10. But we need to highlight the democrats who scare the GOP or Russians the

most. Every night. Make it a seal of approval.

[R B Garr]

11. Definitely have seen Biden and Kennedy so far. Biden was No. 1 in a

popularity poll recently. Kennedy is apparently a threat as well. edit: I saw that anti-Kennedy thread/

15. Hope Kennedy steers clear of a certain NY senator and buses now that he has 2020...

national visibility.

[applegrove]

16. I don't understand. Oh I get it. I miss Franken too and am hopeful he

will be back as a commentator comedian some day. I think this youngest generation of Kennedy's are far enough away from the Trauma of the 60s that they may not go looking for and get into trouble. People are wiser too. And healthier. Especially growing up celebrity. Justin Trudeau talked about how to grow up famous and know what is real and what is not. Psychology has come a long way from the last half of the 20th Century.

17. Another possible 2020 candidate got thrown under a bus.

[applegrove]

18. Yes I got that after a moment. It happened. Time to heal. We cannot

attack Trump for his actions with women and give one of ours a pass (much lesser accusations). Let that be a lesson to anyone thinking of a career in democratic politics.
