(95,337 posts)There are plenty of them
Making it in a thread where someone is posting about an event where it is positive honestly - makes the person posting it look like an asshole. Like they saw that there was this really great event where thousands of people showed up so hey lets rain on the parade by being an asshole.
And for those of us still deciding trust me, we don't see it as 'ooo maybe this candidate is bad' but we see it as 'I really don't want to support that other team because it just seem like sour apple spoil sport assholes'.
And I know which candidate you are talking about but you know it's the same thing when those supporters go into your thread and talk about how they feel that candidate can't win a general election blah blah blah. They do that they look exactly the same way.
Do you think you are going to sway any supporters over to your side in these threads about events? Do you think undecides, especially those of us still not picking a side at this point in the game, are suddenly going to have a miraculous change of heart. I can almost guarentee there would be no impact.
And you know doing it one of my threads - doesn't work either because again, you just sound like sour grapes 'I can't stand someone even remotely possibly trying to make it easy for any other democratic candidate other than mine here on this board'. And my thread wasn't about just one candidate because I see this shit in all threads. But I doubt you'll see other supporters come into this thread and start doing this because in some ways we need to have some sort of positive experiences here at DU. Stuff like this doesn't make me want to support the candidate you are supporting at all. Don't worry, I support all Democrats running for President and have vowed to ensure that I will work hard to make sure no GOP is in the White House after the November 2016 election.
