(34,648 posts)I was never speaking about the op at all. I was explaining that the ones standing in the way of my progress were male, not of color, and older. I was stating my opinion on why DU lacks support for Obama. I believe it is because the groups that comprise his base are not here in force and that the site skews older, male, straighter, and whiter that the party as a whole. The op did not like that at all and decided i was talking about her. She is not male and not included in the group i was speaking of.
Then i waded into my imaginings of a dream of a progressive future and made my prediction that demographic changes are going to enable us to kill wall street. I also stated the the constant bashing of Obama is not helping us fish in the big pond of Obama voters. I think it will depress turn out and will not get us one vote.
