It's time for this destructive meme about shutting up during elections to stop,

[Scootaloo]

78. It's not so much about "shut up during elections," though some use that.

It's about "Don't come to my house and shit on my rug."

If you - and I do mean you in particular, Woo-woo - have nothing to offer a community beyond disparaging them and the people they very obviously opt to support, then you are doing this thing called "trolling." Now, you may disagree, in your mind, you are the lone prophet, a truthspeaker trying to open the eyes of the ignorant... but to the rest of us, you're some crazy naked man who wandered in from a desert somewhere.

I understand that you, and several others who are so very, deeply concerned can't stand the notion, but... we on DU are pulling for Obama and the Democrats. It's sort of implied by the name of the site.

So, maybe rather than griping htat people are telling you to shut up, maybe, just once, take a step back, and ask yourself - seriously ask yourself, "why do they want me to shut up?" Knowing your post history, you'll likely just conclude that you terrify them with your truthiness about what utter scum Obama and the Democrats are, but.. .whatever, so long as you ask yourself.

And pull up your damn pants.
