By the way, I was lurking here leading up to the 2010 mid-terms. DU was laser focused on winning but Dems lost their asses anyway.

But go ahead with the woo wars. That will help in exchanging ideas and strategies and information that will get Dems elected.

It started this time when Australia declared homeopathy to be placebo at most.

Then someone here posted about homeopathy being "not woo," and added acupokes and diet to the mix.

I'll just have to spend more time at Kos or somewhere they don't engage in this childish and embarrassing tit-for-tat over stupid shit like what has been going on here. DU used to be the go-to website for discussion of political Democratic issues and as an open Democratic town hall where good ideas and excellent essays were to be had. Now, not so much.

time at DU. It's still one of the best places to get news fast and the adults here still post some good shit. Just have to wade through the embarrassing and childish muck to get to the good stuff. But it's still muck.

I'm not an expert on jury selection but: That's what I've read on threads discussing how to increase your likelihood of being picked.

Woo has been proven to be absolutely shit by science. It's worse than useless. The only thing proven about woo is the placebo effect. That's it.

There's no arguing that.
