ok, listen up.

i watched in horror in '09 and beyond as the leftier-than-thou turned on obama. before his inauguration, even, there were frequent firestorms of criticism. demanding that he be everything to the far left. nothing he did was good enough for some people.

DONT.DO.THAT.AGAIN.

[redstatebluegirl]

1. I have to say I have blocked most of the really bad ones.

I refuse to take a litmus test for being a good democrat.

[mopinko]

2. me too.

aint gonna unblock them now, either.

[Turin_C3PO]

3. Yes. Criticism and debate is fine.

We’re not going to agree on everything Biden does or doesn’t do. But people need to be civil, respectful, and keep personal insults to themselves. Generally, our jury system works fine but sometimes things slip through the cracks.

[mopinko]

6. yeah. dont bash dems seems to mean-

dont bash the dems i like.

[handmade34]

4. I remember all too well

as many here started bitching and my response (headed into the 2010 election) always was.... "John Boehner" if you don't vote and vote Democratic!!

I was disgusted with the irrational disappointment

[C_U_L8R]

5. We blew an amazing opportunity.

Shooting each other in the feet and fucking up.
And then the GOP easily creamed us in the midterms
Yeah, let's not do that again.

[Squinch]

7. Honestly, I hardly care what he does. I know he'll do as much as he can, and all of it will

be for the better. And I'm not afraid that he'll cause the overthrow of our Democracy.

So it's all just a terrific improvement and I doubt I will find anything to complain about.

8. They started trashing him on Inauguration Day in 2009

[mopinko]

9. yup. they sure did.

over a minor speaker at the inauguration. ffs.

[mcar]

10. Yes, and cuz he didn't get rid of

DADT the first day. I well remember the "we've been betrayed" posts.

And they never stopped. Nothing was good enough for some on the left. It was a big reason for the mid-term shellacking.

[mopinko]

11. for such a smart group of ppl

it's amazing how many couldnt see the forest for the trees.

[mcar]

14. I kind of think they knew exactly what they were doing

[mopinko]

15. hard to argue w that.

[lpbk2713]

12. And it's okay if Joe wears a tan suit.

[mopinko]

13. he can wear a purple suit for all i care.
