Presumably and according to all evidence from what I saw here throughout 2012, we overwhelmingly voted for Obama and Democrats, as did those of us here in 2008. Those who are disenchanted over various 2013 developments, and say so, are subject to constant scoldings and harassment as "haters" to the point that it dominates the entire discussion. And the fact that on chained CPI, on NSA surveillance, and now on Syria, the DU majority is disenchanted on three different fronts, absolutely infuriates the most dogmatic and aggressive presences on the site.The constant characterization of the most respected high-recced posters as "haters" is a disgrace. A major disincentive to participation in discussion of current events is that a faction has to make everything about how they are victimized by what someone else thinks about Obama, and mischaracterize it as feeling, and purely destructive feeling at that.
