100th post. 1st in GD-P

Any Hillary or O'Malley supporters still reading or posting in GD Primaries? It seems very homogenous lately.
I figure to just hang out in Music Appreciation and Veteran's Issues until the convention, but I am a curious Polack.
I know Bravenak is still out there swinging. (Welcome back BRAVENAK! Glad you chose to return)
Peace

As a yellow dog Democrat, sometimes DU seems to be a hostile environment for me to hang around in...
As a vet, I have a measure of respect for BS based on his eforts for veteran's benefits and reform of the VA.
But if I apply my grand dad's rule of judging folks by the friends they keep I have to say that DU is talking me out of voting for him.
I am only now learning about O'Malley.
53 weeks till we vote, and this "Democratic forum"is sucking my will to engage others and try to GOTV.

That admission is shameful. I admit that.

We should all be focused on driving the Republicans into the minority in both houses, securing the Supreme Court and expanding the gains that BO secured against furious opposition.

Is that what's happening here?

However, when I state that I remain unconvinced, I only see posts that question my intellect memory or loyalty to CLASS?
The fuck?

I tend to ignore the 'others,' usually don't go to their Groups. Stick around O'Malley group for useful info, where we ARE focused on the best.

I'm happy to be able to say hi to you again. I posted in the AA forum that i hoped you wouldn't quit DU - even though you were (IMHO anyway) shit on.

The old cliche is " I'm a lover not a fighter", but I love a fighter, and occasionally fight my lover.

Hope you are well.

As well as us undecided.

Welcome to DU, and don't let anyone piss on you for a low post count (because there are those who will do so).

It's the web, I just try to act with the old fashioned courtesy that my dad beat into my stubborn head.

Every now and then courtesy confuses people enough that my point soaks in.

When it doesn't, I just pile on the swears
