The thing about bashing Democrats is that it's an
instant way to look cool. Like I am smarter than all the Republicans, and most of the Democrats too. Awesome!

1. It does often seem to be an attention-seeking device.
It's certainly the quickest way to get noticed around here.

3. Cause they know they can never get away with saying those things..
to a politician's face in the real world. They have the anonymity of their keyboards to say this garbage online.

5. Why do you say that? I recall some folks get very upset when Code Pink demonstrates in front of
or inside Dems offices.

That's as real world as it gets. No hiding behind their keyboards for Code Pink, that's for sure.

Like calling liberal progressive senator an asshole, spineless wimp, or a female presidential candidate a bitch other other sexist, name calling garbage.

People know they can never get away with saying that in the real world or to a politician's face, so they hide behind the anonymity of their keyboards, cause bashing good people makes them feel cool.

4. being "cool" means that nobody is actually paying attention to what you're doing
or saying ... because it isn't too long before you've contradicted your previous actions and words ...
