I propose a DU campaign............

[Darb]

SPARE THE NOSE!!!!!!!


Let's not cut off our noses to spite our faces, mmkay?

[notadmblnd]

1. In regards to?

[Darb]

2. Our candidate.

Trump? Cruz? Rubio?

I think that we could use some perspective.

[notadmblnd]

3. Our candidate hasn't been decided yet.

[Darb]

7. No kidding.

I understand that. And I will keep my nose, irrespective of the eventual nominee.




Spare the Nose!!!

[randys1]

28. Darb, you are proposing unity in the Democratic party to prevent dead Women in alleys

that often does not go over well here

you are better off posting stuff like this

[Darb]

31. I get that, Many don't.

I am proposing that we encourage people to vote FOR our candidates, not rail against the other. Seems logical and novel.

[VulgarPoet]

41. Apparently this kind of thing gets you called a "slave to the left". nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

4. My nose is bruised and tender from previous votes for the "lesser evil" and "not as bad" candidates.

[Darb]

9. I suggest keeping it.

It looks nice.



Spare the Nose!!!!!!!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. I plan it keeping it safe from further injury in this election.

By picking candidates for which there is little or no nose holding required.

[Darb]

11. Hmmmmm......

sounds suspiciously like cutting it off. Your call.


Spare the Nose!!!!!!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

12. I'm not spiting my face.

I'm just not wasting my vote on another moderate.

[Darb]

15. OK, however,

saying that a vote can be wasted adds some kind of peripheral value to it that can be interpreted in many ways. Here's another, that's not wasting it, it is being cast (or not cast) in TRumps favor.

[notadmblnd]

20. If Hillary is the Democratic nominee- the voters will have more than earned what they're going get.

And it's not going to matter who keeps their noses and who doesn't.

[Darb]

23. That is negative and a good example

of cutting ones nose off to spite their face.

[notadmblnd]

30. It's reality.

And your girl is the candidate of negativity.

Remember "No! We can't"

[Darb]

33. If you say so, I see it differently.

I think there is a vast chasm between Hillary and The Donald.

It's OK, you don't have to be a member of the Spare the Nose Club.

[notadmblnd]

36. I think they're pretty close

The only difference I can see, is that Hillary is better at hiding her bigotry by pandering to those she'll hurt the most.

[Darb]

39. You just did it again.

How many noses do you have?

[notadmblnd]

43. You're just playing a game. And all you want to do is win it

And it doesn't seem to matter to you how it's won. So spare me your lecture about noses- mine still resides on my face where it belongs and not between someone's cheeks.

[Darb]

44. Ooooh, nice one. You win.

I relent.

[notadmblnd]

46. Now who's spreading the negativity in the form of snark.

I guess you're not above it all after all.

[Darb]

51. That wasn't snark. I meant it. That was a nice one.

Peace out.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

21. How does that work?

I won't vote for a republican or a moderate.

0-0 = 0

I always vote.

0 + 1 = 1

Trump or Hillary won't get my vote because I won't waste it on them.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. John Quincy Adams

[Darb]

25. That is an example of......

cutting ones nose off to spite their face. You are equating Trump and Hillary which is less than smart.

I get it, you are not in the Spare the Nose campaign. No big, it's not for everybody.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

45. Does that put you in the injure your nose campaign?

There is no "spite" involved. I just don't want Trump or Hillary to be president because I think neither of them are fit to hold public office.

[Darb]

49. My nose is beat to shit.

Making the best of it.

I will vote for Bernie by the way, no problem. I do not think that it is over either. He needs a second wind though.

[notadmblnd]

13. You sure you don't have that knife to your nose right now?

Positive? Cause in my opinion at the very least- you've gotten it out of the drawer.

[Darb]

16. I will vote for either Hillary or Bernie in the General....

and enthusiastically propose that others do the same.

[Betty Karlson]

47. I'll spare my nose my not walking into another Third Way wall. eom

[Darb]

50. Hehehe, good one.

Getting some clever replies. I'm more worried about other walls.

[Betty Karlson]

52. It's called Wall Street for a reason...

[Darb]

53. You are on a roll.

I get it. I don't want to get all "into" it, though. It is complicated, I wish everyone could respect each others reasoning and promote their candidate without poisoning the well.

[Punkingal]

5. Absolutely agree...

People need to stop voting for Hillary and vote for the candidate of change, Bernie sanders!

[PowerToThePeople]

6. This

[Darb]

8. That is fine.

If Bernie wins I'm all in.



Spare the Nose!!!!!!!!

[demwing]

14. Why don't we spare the unity campaigns

Till we pick a candidate, mmkay?

[Darb]

19. If we keep it civil and positive then that is great. If......

we act like idiots, then we are cutting off our noses to spite our faces.

No problem.

[bigwillq]

17. There's plenty of time for that.

But I want to enjoy Primary Wars for as long as I can. It makes DU so much fun!

[Avalux]

18. So.....fall in line?

I guess you're trying to be funny, it's not.

[Darb]

22. Seems the Bernie supporters are a bit defensive. Here's what it means.....

Be positive about your candidate and don't be "all in".

I will say it again for the hundredth time, I will gladly vote for Bernie because ........Trump? Do you feel like that in any way?

Discouraging people from voting for the Democratic candidate is a bad idea, irrespective of who it is.

[Avalux]

24. Here's where I'm at....

Hillary is corrupt, Trump is even more corrupt, and I'll be forced to vote for the lesser of two evils.

Not a pleasant scenario for me. My disappointment with the rightward lurch of the Democratic Party only adds to the unpleasantness.

[Darb]

26. OK, you are not in the movement.

Because you are cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's ok.

[Avalux]

29. I'm having an internal struggle about it right now.

Give me some time, I may end up joining, or else I'll be nose-less.

[revbones]

27. Agreed. I'm tired of ppl posting "Hey, your principles don't matter. Suck it up." n/t

[Darb]

35. I would never say that.

Does Trump espouse a lot of your principles?

It's Ok, not everyone wants to be a member.

[revbones]

38. It's what Hillary supporters expect if she gets the nomination

They ignore the truth and then just expect you to as well.

[Darb]

48. Not really.

I do ignore some stuff, but

[randome]

32. "Zoom! What was that? That was your revolution, mate! Oh. Do I get another?"

[hr][font color="blue"][center]You have to play the game to find out why you're playing the game. -Existenz[/center][/font][hr]

[Avalux]

34. You never find out why you're playing the game. The point is to just enjoy playing. n/t

[randome]

37. True. We're all in a game that doesn't end but everyone loses. Or wins depending on your outlook.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]You have to play the game to find out why you're playing the game. -Existenz[/center][/font][hr]

[demwing]

40. Wonder why?

Maybe it's the constant damn drumbeat to go along?

[Darb]

42. My drum beat is to promote your candidate,

and not to discourage others from voting for the Democratic nominee in the fall by trashing the person that you do not prefer.

It is not over, but 4 more months of some of the stuff I am seeing here will definitely not help keep a crazy pube from the highest office in the land.

This is, after all, the DEMOCRATIC Underground.
