(5,668 posts)I am for now still a Liberal. Not necessarily at the local level but at the State Level I'll continue to push in Liberals, Generally associated with the Democratic Party in recent times. The overuse of the jury system and hidden comments is very undemocratic. You don't like what I say, there's a button for that (Hide or Block) I've stayed off DU because the stress level is insane , Dem on Dem attacks (mostly coming from one side and it's not the one many think it is but I won't say and leave yall wondering.) even in PM's ouch. It would make no sense or Be so counter productive to do some sort of mass purge because what would that achieve? We were open arms when Collin Powell rooted for Obama. To suddenly purge? Thats not who we are. We don't act like the other side. Close off debate etc. For the most part yeah the stupid Jury thing has scared me into not talking. I now go to another unamed site for actual honest debates. I can't have them here. There's just certain people I can't work with. Moderate Republicans sometimes Conservadems rarely. Normal Democrats often. (Moderate Republicans. I have childhood friends who are. And they tolerate my rather left wing debates. Would seem a bit odd to come in here and say that and get banned... ) It would kinda make them look good wouldn't it??
The entire time I kept hoping Hillary and her supporters would prove me wrong. So far that hasn't happened. Yeah there are irritated people on both sides but often if your supporting anyone but Hillary your getting attacked and a Human's natural reaction is to defend oneself. ie What Comes around Goes around until someone grows up and stops it. Thus I removed myself from this In April or so. Probably shoulda known in March I was under too much stress when my elbow started hurting. Ooops something I've heard of but never played called Tennis Elbow ? Caused by both Mental and physical stress. Had a nice big (mispelled) cortisone shot that looked like a pinball on my elbow O_O oh did that hurt when it went down. Still hurts. I should have taken the advice from a relative of mine and stopped following certain people (she did that to me) during such election years. I met her at my cousin's wedding in 2011. Since there was no problem in 2012 she didn't do anything but if it was 2008 she might have. I do wish the main page would be set up to my taste or each persons taste. Kinda like how you want your trending stories on facebook. I want less of that and more of this thing. Kinda like when DU3 first came up an Atheist threat ended up on the main page. and well that didn't end well. Similarily a Hillary Group shows up on the main page , didn't know it and got banned in a hurry.
