So, what does the Boston B O M B I N G have to do with

9. True all that. Been told CC's from UofSC ratfuck Democrats here.

So they can make articulate posts. But they have no depth of feeling about Democratic values, minority rights, voting, etc. They are dismissive of all Democratic candidates, don't support the Democratic Party platform and never celebrate with us for anything. We do have solid Democrats here, though.

Some get all-Paulite on their 'civil rights' while ignoring the rest or the reason why they can't just do everything they please wherever and whenever they please. Lot of staged outrage put out for them.

OPs are edited just as carefully as Fox News to only highlight the negative. If they make a positive statement about Democrats, they always have a 'but' or dig a yawning pit of despair to fall into immediately. This is classic ratfucking.

Hope you take a chance to run, although be prepared to lose, as most do for the first few times. No Democrat that I associate with knows this place exists. The real and virtual don't mix well, because faux outrage turns folks off, they won't waste their time with it.

It is ratfucking. DU can turn people off politics, make them give into Republicanism and breed Libertarians by creating the 'See, nothing works, so it's dog eat dog, the hell with it' pattern.

Anyone who is spouting NRA points at DU, needs to explain it, and some have, and they have been educated, or clarified their positions. I don't see anyone really going for the NRA stuff but the CT crowd in various ways.

We must have a big tent and we shouldn't run them off. Remember the CoC thing, where local CoC's had to post ads to say they did not support the USCoC in their efforts to screw with elections - they are not all the same. I do not want the diversity of DU to be shut down, nor do I want gun owners to leave. The GOP front group, the national NRA, is not all there is. Mind you, I don't frequent the Gungeon, so I don't have a feel for some of these as perhaps others do. But they are allowed, and the Admins have decided to give the main forums over to Gungeon topics for good, it appears, so they see the value of the Gungeoneers at DU.

But they are not to come here to this group and argue what we want, common sense gun control. If they are talking against lawful process of government, sneer at all Democrats, whine about taxes, or welfare, etc. that's a Teabagger. I think some people don't realize they are Teabaggers, really.
