If the issues are so important, why don't they discuss them themselves?

8. Why don't people post questions about why other people discuss things in squirrel costumes?

But not about just any ordinary people (oh no), people that dress in squirrel costumes that discuss things and make prank phone calls to their drunk uncle? Why do they people Skittles? Why? People. Squirrels. I done things, mildly goodly stuff sometimes. Why can't people and squirrels discuss things Skittles? Drunk uncle never hated squirrels before people discussed things in animal costumes.

Thread start.

3. It's all about shaming DU'ers

and making it look like we all couldn't POSSIBLY care about every issue there is.

Internet bravado. UGH.

Happy New Year Brooklynite!

4. They DO discuss them in many cases.

But there is little participation.

An example is threads related to abortion. It may be the single biggest issue that's been winning elections for Republicans but no one here seems to care about it.

At Democratic Underground, winning elections should be JOB ONE!

6. Finger waggers are usually disruptors. nt

[fishwax]

7. because they're curious why those issues aren't discussed

Asking such questions and actually discussing the issues themselves aren't mutually exclusive.

[Basic LA]

9. Why doesn't anyone mention blabla?

Seems to extend beyond posts. Radio & podcast callers often begin with that question.

[JI7]

10. the 2nd thread seems to be in response to the first one

[Jesus Malverde]

12. Passive agressive...nt
