After 15 minutes of trying

to unclutter this forum so I could read it, I've given up. I can't hide the bullshit Obama-Hillary-Bhutto threads fast enough. **sigh** The primary campaigns are WAY too long. DU has changed so much since I joined in '03. The '04 primaries weren't like this at all. I think we have a lot of campaign operatives here, and it sucks.

1. You must not remember the 04 Primaries at all then

It caused the creation of GD:Politics.

2. Hmmm... IIRC, the '04 primaries were EXACTLY like this. n/t

3. In '04, the two hammer and tongs groups represented...

Dean and Kucinich. On another site, the fighting got so bad between these two groups that they became the most banned groups on the boards.

and 2000 wasn't a whole bunch better. Different candidates.

In this election, the Repugnant scheme is to divide all the Dems, fracture any sense of unity...and they have done so. Judging from the threads I've read(and prior election experience)I would have to claim that we have Repug operatives doing a lot of the most divisive posting.

None of you have to agree, but do think about it.

4. just out of curiosity, which other board are you referring to?
