A suggestion about DEM candidate threads [View All]

[DEMActivist]

Are we adult enough to police ourselves and give the mods and ADMIN at DU a break from these fights?

I propose that each candidate camp appoint a "Daily <insert candidate name> Thread" starter and prepare a thread of all the good news of the campaign. Use the Daily Stock Market Thread as an example.

Post the positives about your candidate. Post the important information of the day from your candidate. Give the mods a break from 40 candidate threads a day to the 9 declared candidate threads. Keep it positive, show your candidate's positives and argue your stand in a single daily thread. Make the "bashers" come to you under the good message of the day. Then don't allow bashing, self police and DEBATE your candidate's good points.

Stay out of the threads for candidates you don't support. Sell, sell, sell your candidate. Tell the DU lurkers why YOUR candidate is the best choice.

I'm sure the candidates would love to see this kind of tactic being used.

As a Dean supporter, I nominiate DUer Kephera as the Daily Dean Thread custodian. I would be honored to post in that thread daily and show folks why I support Dean.

Kucinich supporters, you game?

Kerry supporters, how about you?

Can we make DU a positive place for Democratic presidential candidates? I KNOW we can. I challenge you all to help me prove it.
