'not all men' thing again, where everyone has to explicitly note that any inclusive word can indeed have exceptions?

Newsflash - not all members of ANY group actually hold the exact same beliefs on every issue for which a general belief is identified for the group as a whole.

That applies to Democrats, to Republicans, to men, to women, to young people, to old people, and yes, to 'The Family'.

Well, I guess we won't be seeing Luminous Animal here for awhile... [View all] Electric Monk Jun 2014 OP

Do not touch Golden Calfs. Gravitycollapse Jun 2014 #1

if she really feels that way why would she come on a board that supports Democrats JI7 Jun 2014 #2

Because "support" is not "worship". jeff47 Jun 2014 #5

the stuff she posted about hitler isn't what i would consider just questioning JI7 Jun 2014 #6

Well, it's technically factual. jeff47 Jun 2014 #9

so did she post it because she thinks Hillary is like Hitler ? JI7 Jun 2014 #10

I have no idea what she things. I'm not in her head. jeff47 Jun 2014 #11

Questioning is one thing but that thread treestar Jun 2014 #84

Whether or not it was greatly depends on your opinion of Clinton jeff47 Jun 2014 #96

Because she's a Democrat who doesn't think the presidency is something anyone has a 'right' to. sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #128

yet you just claimed how everythign is corrupt in another thread , seriously, if i felt that way i JI7 Jun 2014 #129

Post a link to where I said 'everything is corrupt'. Thank you! n/t sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #132

where you claimed people were prevented from voting for feingold JI7 Jun 2014 #133

You mean where I stated a fact. That money controls politics in this country. Ever hear of sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #134

so why doesn't it help republicans get black, hispanic, gay votes ? JI7 Jun 2014 #136

It helps Republicans get the votes they need. As someone pointed out earlier very correctly, sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #138

Feingold eliminated himself by support Obama and Hillary instead of running JI7 Jun 2014 #139

Do you need an explanation regarding why Repubs don't get minority votes? sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #143

Romney lost the election, if it was just about money California would be dominated by Republicans JI7 Jun 2014 #147

Sigh. You just don't get it, it seems. Who cares if Ca is dominated by Dems, what are they DOING sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #158

huh ? CAlifornia like all states have senators and congress members JI7 Jun 2014 #161

I don't understand this place at all. I'm reading comments on a political genwah Jun 2014 #3

It didn't used to be like this laundry_queen Jun 2014 #4

Thank you! That's a great starting point for me. But I'm still wondering genwah Jun 2014 #7

Sadly your post runs counter to the reality that is your history. Egnever Jun 2014 #156

I see comprehension is not your strong point I forgive your short comings. Drew Richards Jun 2014 #159

You should re-read your post to JNelson, and tell us again who's on the "attack". Tarheel_Dem Jun 2014 #169

You are correct. Here is the proof ... Scuba Jun 2014 #176

I liked the rule about not bringing one thread into another Quixote1818 Jun 2014 #13

I've done the same thing. laundry_queen Jun 2014 #14

Why???? Reminding other posters of what an OP claimed in the past is great troll msanthrope Jun 2014 #24

That rule allowed trolls like "You Better Believe It" to post the same crap over and over, without msanthrope Jun 2014 #23

Agreed. n/t FSogol Jun 2014 #34

in a very large sense hfojvt Jun 2014 #64

my advice RainDog Jun 2014 #16

DU isn't really a place for activism JI7 Jun 2014 #18

There are some pretty good local groups, but it's a shame that the internet isn't really being used Chathamization Jun 2014 #141

you just need to work at it, if you find it difficult at the local level JI7 Jun 2014 #145

A national organization can be useful at the local level though. For instance, when I was working Chathamization Jun 2014 #151

but not everyone follows those groups JI7 Jun 2014 #160

That's somewhat odd reasoning. Of course you won't reach everyone in any particular group, just as Chathamization Jun 2014 #162

you can paticipate, volunteer, join whatever you want JI7 Jun 2014 #163

And my point, as I said, is "it's a shame that the internet isn't really being used for organizing Chathamization Jun 2014 #167

the internet is used in that way, you can go to websites for certain causes, candidates JI7 Jun 2014 #168

And as I said, "Some have attempted this and had limited success, but they remain fairly small." But Chathamization Jun 2014 #175

I stopped taking DU seriously long ago Katashi_itto Jun 2014 #20

You are that, I agree Katashi_itto Jun 2014 #172

DU is mostly made up of keyboard warriors. Le Taz Hot Jun 2014 #44

and you know this how? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #57

yes the stated goal is obstensively to elect more democrats and last i checked VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #54

And who is talking about not electing more DEmocrats? STRAWMAN alert. rhett o rick Jun 2014 #66

who are trashing the front runner who IS Democrat? Ideologues thats who! VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #67

So we are to blindly support the "front runner"? That's not very DEmocratic. What rhett o rick Jun 2014 #68

and VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #70

Blind support. You want us all to follow you and treat H. Clinton as the chosen one. rhett o rick Jun 2014 #104

The jury system is a pathetic joke and so is the alert system to admin. Whisp Jun 2014 #48

but dont we still have forum moderators? I thought they still had some power over the groups? Drew Richards Jun 2014 #49

Hosts can only lock posts if the posts do not meet the Statement of Purpose of said forum. Whisp Jun 2014 #50

Unfortunate :( Drew Richards Jun 2014 #137

Even Rachel Maddow reported on the Family Oilwellian Jun 2014 #40

Rachel didn't mention Hillary, the book must have included that... Whisp Jun 2014 #52

Hillary has been a member since Bill was in the WH. She has never Nay Jun 2014 #62

I didn't need to know this about her to know that she should not be near the WH. Whisp Jun 2014 #65
