How many here in GD, also post in GD-Politics?

[SoCalDem]

I could count the number of times I have been there, on one hand, but I just went there, and y'know what? It looks JUST the same as GD..only meaner..

I long for the days immediately after GD-P was created. That was a blissful time, when posts were routinely moved there, and GD was not totally "cluttered" with venomous diatribes.

I KNOW we are a political website", but jeez-louise, I wish we could get all the specific threads where candidates are named/blamed/defamed, sent packing to GD-P.

When anyone dares to mention 911 or Israel or guns, those threads are banished to the "naughty-rooms" in the basement, before anyone can even reply, so why not do the same with the SPECIFIC threads?

We also have specific forums for all the individual candidates.

GD is being used as an auxiliary trash can, where gratuitous dumping is encouraged.

It reminds me of the "liberal media" meme.. the individual forums and GD_P are like Fox & the right wing media.. all bash-all the time

and GD (like the MSM) feels the need to be "fair", so all the crap is welcomed here too :eyes:

I took a 2 week (nearly) break from DU, and post less and less because of the vitriol, but I still love this place, so I wade through endless tripe to get to a nugget of "meat" every so often..

Anyone else feeling the pain too ?

disclaimer:
I have NO particular candidate.. I will support ANY dem who makes it through the gauntlet.. I do not hate "your candidate".

1. I rarely post there

And I agree with your analysis.

I can't wait until we have a nominee so we can get back to fighting Republicans instead of each other.

2. I agree completely!

I'm undecided too. GDP has more than it's fair share of know-it-alls and condescending creeps and far too much name calling.

3. I don't follow either/or. I just read the "Latest" which encompasses all groups,

and post accordingly where I think my wisdom may be needed. :7

4. GD-Jolt: All the Mean and Twice the Caffeine!

[MedleyMisty]

5. I think GDP is boring

I don't care about the media created horse race and I wish it'd get out of GD and go back there but I can't tell people what and where to post, so I deal and use hide thread.

[SoCalDem]

7. The last time I used "hide thread", I ended up with 4 threads on page 1

It takes too long to hide them all.. If we had a check box by each one like in my email, I would love the feature :)

6. I stay here and in LBN

I like the variety offered here in GD

[mmonk]

8. Me, but since GD politics has come over here, I don't have to leave.

[liberal N proud]

9. I tried it once but I felt so dirty afterward

:rofl:

:sarcasm:

[SoCalDem]

10. Methinks they all own stock in

[WillyT]

11. GD - Politics ??? Are You Kidding ???

It's a jungle over there.

:evilgroin:

oops...

:evilgrin:

[SoCalDem]

13. :evilgroin: :)..deliberate or typo? No sex threads :)

:rofl:

[Individualist]

12. Not me

I quit going there after DLCers took over that forum.

[Raine]

14. I post there...rarely

maybe a half dozen times since it was set up. I find it redundant and mean spirited. x(

[New Earth]

15. I read both constantly

but rarely post in either one. They are similar, but yet, GDP is much meaner and out of control. It's a freaking zoo.

Over here isn't as bad. It's like the lesser of two evils LOL
