55. You have gotten better lately

Fri Jun 8, 2012, 11:39 AM

Jun 2012

but I directly brought this up with you in the past. You would have a link with a one word label and you had to actually press it to know where it went. For those of us at work we can't do that. If a link is unlabeled I have no clue if it is or isn't a DU link. And please don't tell a story and say I haven't brought this up with you because I will like the precise place where I did. Again the links in this post are fine, they go to a place I can see what it is before pressing. But many, many of your links don't do that.

On edit One of the most problematic sites for me is actually salon. I can't read the OP's link at work as it will freeze my computer. That is but one reason I so much needed people like you to actually label their links clearly.

Poll numbers have little to do with vote suppression via demoralization from the "extreme" left. joshcryer Jun 2012 #87

What is your criticism of these mercenaries. I've been trying for months to find out (online) Luminous Animal Jun 2012 #92

Yeah, sounds like he's bemoaning that we're building prisons in Afghanistan as opposed to here. joshcryer Jun 2012 #99

His criticism is that the government is diverting funds from necessary domestic Luminous Animal Jun 2012 #115

Hahaha! Prison systems are now domestic services! joshcryer Jun 2012 #119

Again. It is a double point... 1) Our prison system is so horrendous that judges have to Luminous Animal Jun 2012 #120

Yes, that's fine. Drug legalization is perfectly Libertarian. joshcryer Jun 2012 #127

Decriminalization. Not legalization. Jeesh. You are proven wrong over and over again Luminous Animal Jun 2012 #131

A minor distinction. And no, sorry, he's bemoaning the lack of prison money here being spent... joshcryer Jun 2012 #132

Greenwald: We�ve created the world�s largest and one of its harshest and most merciless penal states Luminous Animal Jun 2012 #136

Neither of those links changes the fact that he is bemoaning that we spent money on prisons... joshcryer Jun 2012 #148

That's a lot of bold assertion...any chance you can back it up? TiberiusB Jun 2012 #150

Read what he wrote. His concern in that article is not the needless drug imprisonment. joshcryer Jun 2012 #160

For clarity's sake, here is exactly what Glenn Greenwald wrote... TiberiusB Jun 2012 #177

Well, in my "extreme left" locale in Seattle, we re-elected our progressive Democrat Jim McDermott suffragette Jun 2012 #123

Apparently, Obama must be coddled like an infant. Luminous Animal Jun 2012 #126

The "extreme" left isn't actually involved in politics to a significant extent. joshcryer Jun 2012 #129

Trying to have it both ways again - the all-powerful left actively demoralize yet isn't involved suffragette Jun 2012 #144

GOTV is the least costly thing you can do. joshcryer Jun 2012 #145

We lefties in Seattle are the numbers that elect our Democratic US Senators and have kept them in suffragette Jun 2012 #151

You only prove my point. You did it despite the money flowing against you. joshcryer Jun 2012 #162

I think your post here just defined the word scattershot suffragette Jun 2012 #173

You started with the ad homs. I'm just glad you realize $$$ isn't needed for GOTV. joshcryer Jun 2012 #174

Actually, I stand by the points I made as I made them and not as you're attempting suffragette Jun 2012 #178

GOTV includes independents. joshcryer Jun 2012 #147

If the left doesn't GOTV for independents or moderates and they sit home... joshcryer Jun 2012 #161

Wait a minute. Marr Jun 2012 #165

Obama didn't win WI with only votes from the left. joshcryer Jun 2012 #167

You're talking about Wisconsin here, not Michigan. Marr Jun 2012 #169

Oops, my bad. I dispute that. GOTV is not expensive. joshcryer Jun 2012 #170

Yes, GOTV is basically free, and it was done hard. Marr Jun 2012 #172

Yes, Walker's ability to spend made it difficult. joshcryer Jun 2012 #175

Yes. Just like we held Dubya accountable for doing what he said he'd do. Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2012 #93

You voted for Bush? joshcryer Jun 2012 #100

No. Did you? Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2012 #109

Nope. And I held him accountable for his illegal wars. joshcryer Jun 2012 #111

So, the boss is to be held accountable only by those who didn't vote for him? Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2012 #113
