Two Different Mindsets at DU

[jeff47]

112. Utterly wrong.

Democrats are a teeming morass of people who have a wide variety of ideas, priorities, and favorite policies. There's an infinite number of mindsets, not two.

For example, you utterly ignore pragmatists vs idealists in your dichotomy.

The attempt (by many people) to oversimplify down to two groups is designed to do two things:
1) Divide DU into two camps, so that those two camps can do battle.

2) Ignore what people you disagree with actually say.

For example, if they're an "Obamabot" and you're not, you don't have to trouble yourself actually reading and thinking about their posts. They must be mindlessly backing Democrats and can't possibly have a point. Time to attack them for mindlessly following the party instead of thinking about it on their own......regardless of what's actually in their post.
