It's like asking if my choosing Earl Grey over English Breakfast tomorrow morning helps or hinders economic growth in California -- it has no impact whatsoever.

Discussionist creates a source of revenue for the owners. No more, no less.

To pretend that young people are so dumb that their minds are being changed by Discussionist or Freeplandia is simply ridiculous.

Again, social media isn't message boards. nt Codeine Nov 2014 #59

Then why does the dem party pay people MaggieD Nov 2014 #60

Thousands and lots of emails MaggieD Nov 2014 #37

You've been registred on DU since 2001 and have under 300 posts Fumesucker Nov 2014 #42

That's because my post count got zero'ed out MaggieD Nov 2014 #44

How does one have their post count zeroed out? nt Codeine Nov 2014 #47

Ask Skinner. I'm sure he will explain MaggieD Nov 2014 #51

I asked you. You made the claim. Codeine Nov 2014 #55

You apparently haven't been to Discussionist MaggieD Nov 2014 #43

He's one of the most prolific posters on Discussionist Fumesucker Nov 2014 #50

If he is, he doesn't challenge the right wing BS there MaggieD Nov 2014 #52

"Wussy liberals"? Fumesucker Nov 2014 #56

I'll take my chances MaggieD Nov 2014 #58

So you're more of a moderate or conservative dem MaggieD Nov 2014 #63

Ah, so that's how it is. I see. The Straight Story Nov 2014 #71

You NEVER confront them MaggieD Nov 2014 #73

If by "confront" you mean "call names" then yeah, you're right I don't do that either Fumesucker Nov 2014 #82

Oh please - that's baloney MaggieD Nov 2014 #84

Just because your techniqe doesn't work doesn't mean everone else is so inept. Fumesucker Nov 2014 #87

I'm not defending it. I'm saying it doesn't matter. Codeine Nov 2014 #89

Okay, so Democrats are stupid to pay people MaggieD Nov 2014 #92

I'd say whatever limited pittance was used for such activity Codeine Nov 2014 #95

Hey, but you can PAY to hide right wing ads here MaggieD Nov 2014 #99

I'm not that far out of that age group. I'm married to someone solidly in that age group. Codeine Nov 2014 #101

You should boycott that site and any site associated with the owner. egduj Nov 2014 #48

Looks like a legitimate topic for General Discussion to me. nt ChisolmTrailDem Nov 2014 #54

You don't have to go to Discussionist if you don't like it. Cleita Nov 2014 #64

Doesn't matter if you or I go there MaggieD Nov 2014 #66

I think it's a good thing because we should know how the other side thinks. Cleita Nov 2014 #70

You can know how the other side thinks... MaggieD Nov 2014 #76
