You know what? If you are so upset about the Democrats "lack of focus" or their

"inability to take on Trump" or whatever other meme you choose to amplify and you are determined to just sit on your ass and whine about "our" party----just go. STFU and go sit with the Dark Side. They ARE the alternative, right?

Especially in this phase of the campaign, your negativity is aid and comfort to the Trumpies and we should not have to deal with it. If you can't have our back, at least stop stabbing.

Rant over.

Such bullshit.

4. tells us the choices

it's too late for primaries, and it's too late to come up with whatever strategy one prefers.

You can complain about execution or playcalling but at some point it's the fourth quarter game winning drive and you get on-board until the playclock reads zero.

3. One can be actively engaged in a campaign and be concerned that it's not running smoothly...

6. What people post on DU has little impact on anything real

There are a handful of people who post at relatively high frequency who think they are accomplishing something. They aren’t. It takes a special sort of conceit to believe that one has something so important to say to several hundred people four or five times a day, but some folks here manage to believe that.

7. Wow.

[Atticus]

8. There are others who occasionally condescend to take part in the forum which, they sniff,

"has little impact on anything real" only to insult those who think it worthwhile. That is also a "special sort of conceit".

Not your cup of tea? Don't sip.

9. Really!?

I agree that blatant negativity and whining is unhelpful. Nonetheless, this is a “discussion-based” forum and all views, including critical ones, should be welcomed when discussed in a rational manner. This concept, and you’re not the only one who presents this “stfu” position, of “everyone should think or feel like I do” is outrageous. I thought Democrats, and liberals in general, were about freedom of thought and expression. I think it’s important that Democrats have a platform based on an agenda of items that they support more so than simply being against the current administration. If one is unable to accept that others have differing opinions or perspectives on these positions and refuses to be open to criticism of the current state of the Democratic Party, then one is only demonstrating behavior likened to fascism.

10. Geesh. Nice anti-Democratic voter thread.

I welcome all Democratic voters even if they they have negative comments on our party.

You do realize that if everyone who had a gripe about the party or or strategies took you up on your hateful OP we would lose.

11. I'll close by saying that it is clear that any attempt to explain/clarify my remarks would be

useless as no one is listening. They're too busy taking offense at things I did not say.

Another day.
