(31,849 posts)Want to make this about the divisions that appeared around the Zimmerman trial, or the divisions in sib-groups
even after I clarified that my comment is NOT about either. That could be telling; but I, again, will give you the benefit of a doubt.
My point, to be clear and explicit, is that you are suspicious of Zimmerman supporters as troll and, more so, divisive
fine, I pretty much agree.
But you fail to see that your disproportionate criticisms of this Democratic President and his policies (i.e., everything this President does is bad, all the time, and if not bad
suspect), on a site named DemocraticUnderground, is equally as divisive. Some balance would make you less suspect, as I would hope that you would see some Democratic principles in this Democratic President.
Your support of threads that claim that the two parties are effectively the same
thanks to those corporatist, third-way Democrats; along with your tacit support for not voting down the Democratic party line
is equally divisive. Some recognition, and rejection, of this purist and failed/failing electoral strategy, would make you less suspect, as the end goal for Democrats is to support and vote into office Democratic candidates.
And, your piling onto threads that has anyone questioning what we really know about the NSA mess; questioning snowden or greenwalds credibility and/or motives, as authoritarian or corporatist lackeys, placing partisanship before privacy concerns, or just not real Democrats
you seem to fail to recognize that this is equally as divisive. Some recognition that we do not know exactly what is going on with this NSA mess, nor are people wrong to question snowden or greenwalds credibility/motives; but more importantly, doing either does not make someone not a Democrat, nor an authoritarian lackey
that recognition would make you less suspect, as Democrats do not attack Democrats.
