If you can chill out about the debate, then you can certainly chill out about worried DU reactions to the debate [View all] Silent3 Jun 2024 OP

Actual DU members I'm chill with -and there are valid concerns ColinC Jun 2024 #1

I suspect there are way, way fewer troll farm posters here than you imagine Silent3 Jun 2024 #3

I'm not talking about discussing worries ColinC Jun 2024 #4

So what real-world threat does "outright calling for his replacement" on DU actually pose? Silent3 Jun 2024 #12

If not genuine it takes the effect of propaganda ColinC Jun 2024 #14

It seems very weak propaganda then, delivered to the least effective place for that propaganda Silent3 Jun 2024 #25

It gives the illusion that there is far more support for a thing when you have fake people posting it ColinC Jun 2024 #26

But still, to what effect? If it doesn't change voting in November, it doesn't matter Silent3 Jun 2024 #28

If most people think there is a lot of support for something when there isn't ColinC Jun 2024 #29

You still have to dispense propaganda in a receptive, effective environment Silent3 Jun 2024 #61

It's not really an issue that is pertinent to DU as we do a pretty good job at policing ourselves, so I think you're ColinC Jun 2024 #65

I have no argument with that about Facebook, and as for Twitter... Silent3 Jun 2024 #67

Yeah. And just to clarify, my issue is just with the few apparent trolls we've had which are few and far between ColinC Jun 2024 #71

So you repeatedly claim... Silent3 Jun 2024 #54

I mean, I thought I explained myself pretty well but I'm open to that not being the case :) ColinC Jun 2024 #60

For One Thing... ProfessorGAC Jun 2024 #44

If, for instance, Biden became gravely ill... Silent3 Jun 2024 #51

Read EarlG's Post ProfessorGAC Jun 2024 #55

Is this the EarlG post you're talking about? Silent3 Jun 2024 #57

Go Up A Few Paragraphs ProfessorGAC Jun 2024 #70

I see what you're talking about... Silent3 Jun 2024 #73

I'm the most negative, piddyprints Jun 2024 #2

The point is to get things off your chest, which is what friends do with each other... Silent3 Jun 2024 #9

Whatever. piddyprints Jun 2024 #33

It was ONE debate. With a cold, next to a felon. Joe has moved on. chowder66 Jun 2024 #5

Did you read the post from EarlG? gab13by13 Jun 2024 #6

TSF should drop out for the good of the country ColinC Jun 2024 #8

rearranging your title a bit ...Trump should drop out of the country for good. GreenWave Jun 2024 #64

Point out one thing in my post that contradicts what you just said n/t Silent3 Jun 2024 #11

Well said. Doodley Jun 2024 #7

I'm not all that concerned about DU. Ocelot II Jun 2024 #10

I'm not asking (nor would I ever ask) for Biden to step aside... PeaceWave Jun 2024 #13

It is, historically speaking, a generally losing game to challenge the incumbent of your own party Silent3 Jun 2024 #16

Kennedy cost Carter the election...you run a challanger against an incumbent president and you lose every time. Demsrule86 Jun 2024 #19

How can you quantify that statement Sewa Jun 2024 #58

Admittedly, we do tend to fall in love with our candidate of choice... PeaceWave Jun 2024 #22

The out-of-party effect of challenging an incumbent matters too Silent3 Jun 2024 #24

If it's being talked about on DU, and on Pod Save America by former Obama staffers Fiendish Thingy Jun 2024 #15

"Confronting and combatting" is one thing, treating the expression of worry as if it is, in and of itself... Silent3 Jun 2024 #18

I agree Fiendish Thingy Jun 2024 #23

I also agree with you... OneGrassRoot Jun 2024 #30

I am sorry, but I don't agree...multiple post which is what we have seen calling for a sitting president to Demsrule86 Jun 2024 #17

You think the effects of discussion on DU are more powerful than the publically-televised debate itself? Silent3 Jun 2024 #20

I've seen a lot of threads here about Trump's performance. orange jar Jun 2024 #21

Thank you! Music Man Jun 2024 #27

Some are trolls and several have been zapped by MIRT Kaleva Jun 2024 #31

The benefit of the doubt should go to someone NOT being a troll, however Silent3 Jun 2024 #35

To your point here: orange jar Jun 2024 #42

One Thing To Remember About MIRT... ProfessorGAC Jun 2024 #47

Oh, interesting! orange jar Jun 2024 #56

In an idealized world that may work, but it's not case Kaleva Jun 2024 #69

"It's the norm" Silent3 Jun 2024 #76

It might not be commendable but that's the way it is Kaleva Jun 2024 #79

I'm a worrier by nature Blaukraut Jun 2024 #32

... OneGrassRoot Jun 2024 #41

they're mostly unbelievable bigtree Jun 2024 #34

Your concern about concern is noted Silent3 Jun 2024 #38

it's not concern bigtree Jun 2024 #40

What "disingenuous appeal for the viewpoint you agree with" are you talking about? Silent3 Jun 2024 #48

you're advocating in your thread that it be discussed here bigtree Jun 2024 #49

It should be discussed here. People who discuss it should be told it's a bad idea... Silent3 Jun 2024 #53

This. A million times this. budkin Jun 2024 #36

We should not post messages about site rules and enforcement type issues nt DontBelieveEastisEas Jun 2024 #45

I see. Thank you. n/t OneGrassRoot Jun 2024 #50

I am chill. Now is not the time for this discussion. marble falls Jun 2024 #52

Well, that's what you think. MineralMan Jun 2024 #59

How does my post insist on having more heft? Silent3 Jun 2024 #63

Indeed, DU is a discussion board EarlG Jun 2024 #62

This is, however, a very different thing than, say, getting on here and pushing RFK Jr or... Silent3 Jun 2024 #66

The rule is clear EarlG Jun 2024 #74

I'm pretty sure, ban-stick applied or not, talk of Biden stepping down is on the way to a natural death... Silent3 Jun 2024 #75

I've approved your appeal EarlG Jun 2024 #81

Your idea of a discussion is valid, perhaps, at the white house. DontBelieveEastisEas Jun 2024 #68

It seems to be a weird, overly-anal interpretation of DU rules if something that can be discussed by loyal Democrats... Silent3 Jun 2024 #72

K & R. Xavier Breath Jun 2024 #77

Why keep the topic alive..drop it! You do realize that comments here are edited and reposted over and over on SM! PortTack Jun 2024 #78

This thread had a broader concept in mind... Silent3 Jun 2024 #80
