I'm Sorry... But I Gotta Ask... People Here Keep Saying We Have To Have The President's Back...

170. lots of anger WillyT looks like you struck a nerve

Apparently not accepting mediocrity and conformity are political impotency."You need to learn your place,"haters and whiners",if you know what's good for you".Lurkers watch that crap, and never sign up or post because they can smell the stench of that game a mile away.Most people want nothing to do with it.A small group of people set out to throw the chum in the water and try to provoke the "unwanted",in the hope that they will lose it and provide an excuse for banning anyone who speaks out against the Presidents policies(tell me that isn't happening on the multiple Barack Obama is the greatest ever threads)Nothing said in this thread is plain to "everyone" but the real haters who want to destroy anyone who interupts their Barack Obama is a God fantasy.This is not Barack Obama Underground as far as i can tell.I see nothing in the tos that demands lock-step obedience to the President's policies now or in the future.

People want to pick a side and win elections like it's a fantasy football contest because there is no risk in that and it keeps their political comfort zone intact.Fine,but they shouldn't expect lock-step obedience to their political views or opinions.They are doing exactly what the political and corporate elites want them to do.They shouldn't expect everyone to follow that sad path.Stirring up mobs of attack dogs to echo lock-step talking points,is a sure sign that something was said that struck a few chords of truth,however foul to the delicate ears of those who accept the status quo as a given in the name of hope and change.You're never gonna get rid of all the "crazy leftists",because they are the only ones making sense to a lot of people including those without a voice at the table(whatever fucking table that is).It's not personal,why do people insist on making it so.So much do some people identify with the politician as hero that they actually take the criticisms of the President as wounds to themselves.

In years gone by when I lurked here,DU was once a place where some serious discussions about social conditions in this country took place.Some of the most prolific posters(including real leftists and social democrats) who could carry a thread for multiple days were either banned or left through the years because of these lock-step attitudes from a small group who are still playing the same game now as they always have.Now everything to the left of Barack Obama or mainstream Democrats is considered childlike,utopian,fantasy and loony,stupidity and ignorance.I also fail to see how this OP pollutes this website.The insults in this thread towards anyone who disagrees with the President's policies is pathetic.
