This constant fucking BASHING of the party and party leaders

[Eliot Rosewater]

Not tough enough, etc.

More BASHING of the party here than anywhere almost.

[leftofcool]

1. Yep, anything bad that can be said or reposted from some newspaper

Got to take down all the Democrats. Pathetic isn't it?

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Things that make one go "Hmmmmmm......"

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.

[PeeJ52]

3. I wouldn't consider that bashing... I would consider that a personal opinion...

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.

[Stinky The Clown]

4. Its not about candidates. At all.

[redstatebluegirl]

6. No not all snd not the "leaders".

[PeeJ52]

8. Same for party leaders. I don't see them all on the same page either.

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.

5. You seriously complaining its bashing to encourage leadership to get tough on the Shitstain-in-Chief

by calling for them to impeach his azz?! Is THAT what you're saying??


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[BigmanPigman]

7. Who are you referring to? Which Dems

are being bashed and for what reasons?

[Bradshaw3]

9. Enough with the drama

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.

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. Stop with the PERSONAL ATTACKS AND INSULTS too

This FUCKING suggestion I am actually a JPR person is GOD DAMN FUCKING INFURIATING

[Bradshaw3]

19. Please step away from the keyboard

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]

20. DO NOT ORDER ME TO STOP POSTING, how are these REPEATED PERSONAL ATTACKS

STILL HERE?

[Bradshaw3]

21. These are not personal attacks

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.

23. Let's all calm down, now, OK?

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: I’m not touching you.

[Bradshaw3]

24. Good idea but follow your own advice

The pic you posted shows the need for that. I'm done with the OP and this thread, but thanks for the contribution.

[ehrnst]

25. You're welcome.

[True Blue American]

28. True dat!

[bullwinkle428]

10. Is Joy Reid a "basher"? Because if you watched any part of either of her shows

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.

[True Blue American]

16. Make a decision on what

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.

[JI7]

18. one can support impeachment without some of the attacks on Democrats

[Me.]

51. All I Can Say Is...

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.

[artislife]

11. How about any of the candidates?

Vetting sure, bashing no.

[mcar]

12. Sure is

Makes me crazy, Eliot.

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

[manor321]

14. We're allowed to criticize policy choices, especially critical choices like impeachment

[KG]

15. I lulz'd

[msongs]

17. definition of bashing - antything said that disagrees with me nt

[True Blue American]

27. 1000

[Joe941]

22. That is not happening - its against the site rules.

[True Blue American]

26. I Am Not!

a member of an Organized Party!

I AM A DEMOCRAT! And don’t you forget it!

[True Blue American]

29. Thanks guys

For a great morning laugh. Democrats in High dungeon!

[lapucelle]

31. dudgeon...

in high dudgeon (idiom)
formal
feeling and usually showing that one is angry or offended

[True Blue American]

32. So? I have already

Said I was a lousy typist! Picky!

[lapucelle]

33. Just a heads up about the typo.

[True Blue American]

34. Polite people do not correct others in public.

My Second Grade Teacher!

But that does not spoil the fun of this thread.

Have a good day.

[lapucelle]

36. Was that intentionally ironic?

You have a good day as well.

[True Blue American]

42. Of course,

But true on the Teacher!

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.

[Celerity]

35. high 'dungeon'

[lapucelle]

37. I was just "corrected" with the admonition that it is not polite to correct others

in public.

[Celerity]

38. I wasn't correcting anyone

I was having a laugh

[lapucelle]

39. I didn't mean you...

...the person I corrected corrected me for correcting him because it is not polite to correct people.

[Celerity]

40. I do not think you did anything wrong at all, I learn all the time from people correcting me.

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!

[True Blue American]

45. Now, you are upset

That I made an honest statement?

I promise I will not use that word again in public for 20 years!

Of course chances are I will be dead then.

[Celerity]

49. upset? nooooooooooo, sheesh, all I did was post a pick of a bloke smoking weed in jail

I was having a laugh off 'high dungeon'.

No attempt at humour apparently goes unpunished or questioned, lolol

[True Blue American]

47. I am looking back to see?:)

[True Blue American]

43. Come on guys,

This thread is already funny enough!

[cwydro]

46. Lol, I was giggling over "dungeon" lol.

Some great DU threads start that way!

“Garbing by the Crouch” comes to mind, and the eternal “door buzzard” thread!

I miss that guy.

[True Blue American]

48. :)

[watoos]

30. That the Democrats are in disarray is a right wing talking point,

I have absolutely zero problem in having the Democratic party having a vigorous debate over whether to impeach Trump or not. Sign I see every day, "Dead fish go with the flow."

[Celerity]

41. indeed

[NewJeffCT]

44. Dead fish and Republicans

who do almost always follow their daily talking points

[Cary]

50. It is one thing to debate whether to impeach

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.

[underpants]

52. I'm not a member of an organized political party. I'm a Democrat.

-Will Rogers

Yeah it goes back that far.
