More BASHING of the party here than anywhere almost.

(67,757 posts)There are days when this place reads like a snake pit in the sewer of a cesspool.
People will argue that its night time when the sun is shining.
And some genius is bound to chime it that in the polar regions, by gawsh, it could be.

(1,588 posts)What isn't tough enough for one person, might be too tough for another. I take opinions about candidates as such. Everyone is going to view their candidates differently. We go accusing each other of bashing just for having a differing opinion and soon everyone will be banned. Even my candidate has some traits I see as faults. Nobody is perfect.

(1,588 posts)I think the lack of a unified voice is what's irritating most people. That's why there a so many "opinions" out there. I know Barr waited for the holiday weekend to release the report to screw with the leadership, and that's what they allowed him to do. Personally, I think they should have delayed their observance of the holiday until they read the report and came away with a unified statement on their path forward. Again, they have let the Republicans control the narrative. I guess we're just going to have to wait another week and listen to all these different views of our leaders and put up with the different views of their followers.

(7,484 posts)There is no "constant bashing" or any other kind Kilgore. People are discussing topics and if it is bashing the post gets pulled. Perhaps you went to JPR or a RW site and only thought it was DU.

(31,106 posts)This FUCKING suggestion I am actually a JPR person is GOD DAMN FUCKING INFURIATING
Bradshaw3
(7,484 posts)I did not suggest you are a JPR person. I said that and the RW site as a joke to illustrate how ridiculous it was to say DU was bashing Democrats like those sites do. There are no personal attacks either. I'm serious - your posts are demonstrating that you are taking all of this way too seriously. That's not an insult but an invitation to find something else to do for at least a night, or a few days, for your own sake.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,106 posts)STILL HERE?
Bradshaw3
(7,484 posts)I didn't order you to stop posting, just like no personal attacks were made. Someone disagreeing with you is not bashing or "repeated personal attacks" as you claim. You are obviously extremely upset, but that doesn't justify false accusations, which are just as wrong as bashing or personal attacks. Obviously you can post as much as you want, but I asked you to please step away from the keyboard, for your own sake.

I think that all parties need to simmer down with the accusations, and refrain from provoking.
This isn't the place or the time to be spoiling for a fight.
For your own sake...
Darlene: Stop it.
DJ: Im not touching you.

(20,628 posts)this weekend, you would realize that she's 100% on the "IMPEACHMENT NOW" train. I'm personally on the fence at the moment, but there are many well-respected people on OUR side that are feeling the need for it ASAP.

(17,981 posts)Joy Reid says? She bashed Gays in the recent past, almost lost her job at MSNBC. They finally brought her back on weekends.
No thanks.
But as for bashing Democrats I often wonder if the Russian bots are among us.

(35,454 posts)she was in for C. Hays last night and gave a huge amount of time for Rep. Talib to go on and on, and on about impeachment and didn't show the same respect for guests who tried to explain why not at this time. It was the first time I turned the channel on Joy and was very disappointed in her lack of understanding about this matter. And feeling the need now is one of the last arguments I would make for it. As Nancy has said and which has been repeated over and over, investigations first and then if the facts go there, then impeachment. But Joy keeps insisting Nancy said no flat out. Further, while Individual 1 has dropped in the polls, not even a plurality in this country currently favors impeachment. The case is yet to be made and the country needs to be brought along or we'll find ourselves with 6 more years of that criminal.

We should all be hammering the media to ask "where are the Republicans?" Instead it's bash Democrats time.

She made a life long impression on me. She also told us to state what we want to say in as few words as possible. I do not always follow that rul.

(43,071 posts)None of us are perfect. I learn more in life from my mistakes than my successes. I made one earlier where I wasn't clear i what I meant, and will always strive to be more clear when dealing with that subject.
Better to be corrected on an anonymous board than make a cock-up in real life!

(11,746 posts)It is another thing altogether to bash Democrats for not toeing an alleged line.
Some respect for those stepping up, and putting themselves out there, is in order. Some here have no respect.
