Hey, guess what? The SCOTUS doesn't have anything to do with challenges to Roe v. Wade

[TwilightZone]

It's all up to the governor!

1. I questioned the poster's education

Or rather, apparent lack of education.

[TwilightZone]

3. I think they're just so adamant about knee-jerk reacting to everything Hillary that they're not even

thinking anymore. I think it's all just stimulus and response for some of them. Hillary! Ahhhhhhhhhh!

I mean, is it possible the guy -with 3000+ posts on DU, I might add - really doesn't know that Roe v. Wade was a Supreme Court decision so the makeup of the SC might, you know...matter?

I suppose it's theoretically possible.

Well...no.

[wysi]

5. I find myself worrying...

... that many of these posters are young people who didn't get the benefit of a good education (I'm 49, and we did an entire year of civics/government in 9th grade). I have no idea whether they teach any of this stuff anymore.

[TwilightZone]

13. Yeah, I don't know either. I think a lot of the ignorance is feigned, though.

It's easier to stick to a story or a version of events if one ignores any new evidence that becomes available that contradicts the original. Nevada is a perfect example.

Even Sanders is playing dumb. I can still get the majority of pledged delegates! Uh, huh.

[wysi]

17. Sanders...

... is demonstrating in real time the fact that human nature dooms communism to be a failed ideology. The leaders (naturally) grow to like their power, and they don't want to give it up, even at great cost.

18. He's really just another politician, which makes his "outsider" status so laughable.

He spent 25 years in Congress basically tilting at windmills, and people suddenly think he can lead a revolution. The only person less likely to lead one was Ron Paul, who's now shilling financial DVDs on TV.

He's really not even a socialist, certainly not in the European sense. Political Compass calls him a centrist and a militarist. His supporters always miss that when they post that silly graph about how far right Hillary is.

19. I don't think they teach that stuff anymore. At least not at my high school they didn't.

(I'm a millenial.)

[wysi]

23. That's really a shame

Every citizen needs to know this stuff.

[shadowandblossom]

25. Maybe other schools still do.

don't know

[DemonGoddess]

24. My 25 year old informs me that her HS

did not teach civics, and only 1 semester of government.

[still_one]

14. The ignorance is astounding

[Kingofalldems]

2. Freeper posing as a Sanders supporter.

And there are more IMO.

[TwilightZone]

4. Looking at Transparency, I think you're exactly right.

And, yet, 3000+ posts. This guy is a poster child for what's wrong with DU.

[Kingofalldems]

6. I noticed this a while back. Right wingers see Hillary as a threat

and they attack using support for Sanders as a portal if you will.

Note to real Sanders supporters: I don't mean you.

[wysi]

7. Back in the day...

... no freeper would have made it past 50 posts. We used to actively root them out as a community. Ah the good old days...

[TwilightZone]

9. I recently came back to DU after eight years.

A couple of the trolls who seemed rather obvious then - and are still sowing the seeds of division now - are still here and now have 100k+ and 150k+ posts. They're both what would politely be called anti-Dems. That never seems to go out of style here.

It's also getting harder to tell the trolls apart from the allegedly legit DUers. As I've joked in other threads, Poe's law needs a liberal corollary.

[wysi]

11. Yeah, I'm back posting after a long break too...

After the 2004 election debacle I just lost a lot of my will to even think about politics for a while, but I read the front page and LBN daily. Hillary has gotten me energized again. And I'm pretty sure I know which posters you are referring to.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. Wow

The Stupid is strong with this one.

[OilemFirchen]

10. He is now FFR.

A toast (such as it is) to the Admins.

[TwilightZone]

15. Credit to them.

Looking at his transparency page, it looks like they could just as well make it permanent.

[mcar]

12. This is unf'ing believable!

[ladym55]

16. I could say this poster is dumber than a stump

but I'd be insulting stumps.

I do think we have a lot of freepers posting non-stop and sewing seeds of stupidity. I worry about those who buy the baloney.

[BootinUp]

20. I can't look at it, its too embarrassing anymore.

[Cha]

22. I usually don't but I took a quick look.. and he's embarassing himself alright.

omg.

[Cha]

21. He doesn't give a shite about the Planet, either.. wow, did he just out himself or what?!

He doesn't care who is appointed to SCOTUS?!!
