Are you a DOING DU'er or a DEBBIE DOWNER?

29. Because there are two types of people in the world.

The first wants to believe their desired outcome is likely until or unless they are proven wrong.

The second wants to prepare themselves mentally for bad outcomes and is pleasantly surprised when things go well.

Neither is right, neither is wrong. On DU we have both types. And ALL OF THEM ARE DEMOCRATS.

Those on DU who believe we will win have been steadily denigrating those who post polls or link to things that are not hopeful for Democrats. I have seen pessimistic DEMOCRATS and those who post unfavorable polls being accused of not getting out the vote and of not donating. I have seen umpteen threads of people congratulating themselves for being optimistic and denigrating those who are pessimistic.

Fine. Be optimistic. I am optimistic in this election. But do we really need to be denigrating those who approach the information about this election differently?

Do we really need multiple threads using infantile names to make fun of OUR FELLOW DEMOCRATS??
