Some of you were not around for 2008... so you do not remember. But the war between the then Clinton supporters and the Obama supporters got bad. There were many bruised egos. Hell, when she finally conceded, some left in a huff creating the Party Unity My Ass, PUMA for short.
What I am seeing on this site makes that looks like a pikers vacation. Some folks are throwing divisive shit, trying to get people to react. Some are just calling people names (on all sides mind you)...
Some of us do not care who the fuck you vote for. Hell, it is none of your business who I vote for... it is that simple... that secrecy is guaranteed by LAW. But what is happening here... well the scabs from 2008 are now off, the wounds are getting deeper... and it might tear a few folks away from Democrats.
Keep doing this, and I can predict this war will be nuclear. I can also predict this site will not heal.
And yes, from now on you post a divisive OP... expect me to call you on it. I am damn tired of it... that is not a threat... it is a promise. You post divisive shit calling supporters of candidates names, expect me to just point it out. Divisive shit. I expect this behavior to continue, but silence IS consent.
I also expect to be alert stalked, already started. And I also expect to have some individuals push buttons. Guaranteed, that your pushing of buttons will be answered with just two words. DIVISIVE SHIT. Or if this is actually bullying., the word bully
This is not healthy, but you know what? I am actually looking forward to failing in this endeavor due to the forces at play and for even MORE people to give up on politics and just retreat to their lives. There is so much abuse people will take. And I expect those same people to blame the voters for argle, bargle, usual blame game.
And to the hosts... the fact that this is allowed, I know it is not a bug, it is a feature. So if you close this down... it will not surprise me either.
