143. This DLC / DNC Meme is getting old ...
And it doesn't make sense. It's silly for so many reasons .... here are two of them.

#1. It doesn't make sense to disrupt a group just because they do not agree with you completely. That kind of black and white thinking is simplistic and not the kind of thinking that real political strategists employ. Why would Democrats try to disrupt a place where people's ideas are near their own? Why waste time here rather than disrupting right wing blogs? It doesn't make sense to believe such a thing.

#2. Most people on internet boards simply don't vote and hence don't matter. The vast majority of people here who voice what passes for their opinion simply aren't the kind of people who vote, let alone are movers and shakers in their community. That's just the nature of the internet and isn't confined to this one place.

#3. There's not a shred of evidence that DLC or DNC or men in black helicopters are doing anything coordinated against this site. Someone with too much paranoia in their pizza mentioned the idea and it caught on with the more excitable and less critical thinkers among us. But unless someone has any real proof than it has no more veracity than right wingers believing the government is putting drugs into the water or whatever.
