They're losing their damned minds in GD-P

[EffieBlack]

They must think we can't read.

1. It is disgusting

that so many people on a democratic board would post such ugly vile things just because their favored one doesn't have the support of absolutely every one here. It is heartbreaking that the AA group is bearing the brunt of it.

2. You are taking them on beautifully, sweetheart. Keep that head up! ;)

[OregonBlue]

3. I don't know how you can even read that forum. It just depresses most of us.

[Chitown Kev]

4. I feel you

I've been posting sideeye pics and gifs all day at DK

And...bravenak broke the damn internet with her post today

[SusanCalvin]

5. Link, please?

I don't usually look at many sites except here. (No explanation for that - lack of time and habit, I guess.)

ETA: Found it, I assume.

Yep. How anybody who doesn't like being told how to think/feel doesn't get it is beyond me.

6. How was brave's post received on Kos?? Here it provoked the fully expected braying

but still got a pretty decent number of recs.

[Chitown Kev]

8. I reposted it here

She did put one out today, you know...as did I.

7. Hi Kev~

Would you be so kind as to send a link to bravenak's post? I thank you for your time.

[Chitown Kev]

9. It's already up as part of our double feature this evening.

[sheshe2]

10. Thanks, I will check it out.

Worked tonight and playing catch up!

[awoke_in_2003]

11. Half tempted to untrash it...

just to see what's up.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. It's ugly in there.

Far worse than the 2008 primary season.

[awoke_in_2003]

18. If I ever found a left leaning

active atheist forum I would probably trash DU all together. This place is a flaming mess, with a jury system that faces zero repercussions for its actions. At least with the moderator system people were held accountable. Shit like alert stalking got shut down fairly quickly. How have you been, Sheila?

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. I never had great hopes for the jury system.

And I'm sorry to see that my concerns panned out. For months, I've seen serving on two juries a day. Now sometimes it's up to three a day. Posts that never should have been hidden are, while posts that should be hidden are not. Unreal.

I'm hanging in there. Hope that all is well with you.

[awoke_in_2003]

21. Other than a cold that won't go away

I am doing well. Work's been busy lately (I say that in a good way). Take care.

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. Take care yourself.

[Cha]

12. We knew it would be bad.. well there it is.. as predicted.

So sorry, Effie!

[cwydro]

14. I had no idea it would be this bad.

Their candidate got shellacked, and they're looking for a scapegoat.

No surprise who they've chosen.

[Ellen Forradalom]

15. i suspect we have more than a few

paid "social media consultants" whose resumes include 4chan and Reddit stirring up the pot in GDP. Once the primaries are done they'll go back to eating Cheetos and doxxing feminists.

[EffieBlack]

16. I'm sure you are right

[SusanCalvin]

17. May well be.

I hope they're not official.

[1StrongBlackMan]

19. Except some of the chief pot stirrers have ...

10s of thousands of DU posts.

[Ellen Forradalom]

23. Now that is what is dismaying.

Not the low post count folks who wander into groups to cause trouble.

[betsuni]

24. Now there's a "How can sane people vote for a liar, sell-out, warmonger, prisons, blah blah" one.

Yes, yes, yes, voters are stupid or insane. Thanks for the valuable discussion, appreciate it.

[JI7]

25. Old Black People are to Blame for the Countries Problems

[JustAnotherGen]

26. That's been my take away too n/t

[Kind of Blue]

27. OMG, what?

Now this is really the funniest blame I've ever seen!

[Kind of Blue]

28. Just saw on the homepage

what I think you're referring to. Good luck with that. The candidate couldn't even bus-in young black supporters to fill an arena at an HBCU with several more in the area. Yup that's what we siblings, 40-56 year olds, did when one of our own was in trouble, we were so tired and did nothing - lost vigor, waited for Jesus and got nowhere.

An absolutely painful OP to read.

[Blue_Tires]

30. What really irks me about that is he got 220 people to rec it

which has to be a record for an obvious troll post...

[Blue_Tires]

29. "losing?"

GD-P was lost long ago... I just check in once a week or so to see who I need to add to my ignore list...

Once the primaries are officially over, and all those low-post count weirdos scurry back under their rocks, things can start to return to normal, I hope.
