I'll vote for her if she's the nominee, but I don't like the way she reflexively pivots to her distressingly right-leaning 2000s era persona, given half an excuse.

Mon Nov 23, 2015, 07:37 PM
Nov 2015

and which district votes first in the primaries would rotate among them, so every 24 years each of us would have an opportunity to vote first for President.

All states in an electoral district would have their primaries on the same day. This way, campaigns would focus on a select geographic region -- costs would be lower, as there wouldn't be as much travel required, and the media buys would be more focused as well, since neighboring states would be addressed at the same time.

There'd be an added benefit as well, as the citizens of each district could expect (indeed, demand) that each politician address the regional issues of their concern as well as the national issues, thereby denying the candidates the opportunity to hide behind national platitudes instead of answering specific questions important to a select electorate.

But it'll never happen. Too many vested interests with too much at stake in the present, crippled system. So I refuse to support it, with either my money or my time. There's enough useless poppycock in my life without my seeking out other, even more marginal issues to feed my ulcer.

on little details such as punctuation when you can't remember or see what is auto-corrected, etc. Somehow when I post from my phone, if I go back to insert punctuation, the last word I typed is inserted where I wanted to punctuate. It gets beyond tedious, and I have a fairly large screen. I can't imagine it with a smaller phone.

I agree punctuation is important, but now I know how internet /email/Twitter typing has influenced standards. I never even wanted a smart phone, but here I am reading and typing while doing errands. I'm hooked now!

One thing, though, I would never cook my family or my dog!

So, yeah, lying it is! Just look at your post in this thread where you admit you call people out if they go too far (Your words). Then you act like you are confused about what you write. No wonder you have 8,500 posts in 90 days.

You posted about her changing support from BS to Hillary as if that's some reflection of integrity. What bullshit. She or anyone can evaluate a candidate and change their mind whenever they want without your approval. That's why politicians campaign -- to win votes.

Your manipulative postings about the website you obsess about are also not credible. You fail to mention that the only reason it exists is because of time outs here. At least you admit you are trying to damage people because they dare to post somewhere else on the internet without your interference or approval.

Put that in your little "bookmarks" and "compilation" files (your words).

No kidding, HC supporters who couldn't be civil here started their own website where they could discuss ways to stalk and harass other posters who earned the right to keep posting here.

Iow: Being manipulative

Posting links and screenshots isn't being manipulative because facts aren't manipulative.


And that's why my posts struck a nerve, I backed up my claims while you've got nothing to back up yours except some bizarre conspiracy theory that using Google and having one post by a fellow Bernie supporter bookmarked is the same thing as "keeping files" on people.




So take that back to the cave and tell them you struck out - again. My posts didn't get hidden but your antics did keep me entertained.

If I were you I'd step away from the bigoted stalker site, it seems to be having an adverse effect on your perception of what happens here on DU.

You seem to be confusing links and screenshots with emotions and that's a little disturbing.


Besides, it's obvious to everyone that only people who are obsessed would start a website to stalk other DUers, like the denizens of the cave.

Compared to them the rest of us seem to be remarkably well adjusted. I do feel sorry for those people, though so I guess pity counts as an emotion.


You are actually coming cross as angry-

Look at your lack of credibility in this thread alone: post 35, you complain about the same thing you, yourself, admit to doing in post 37. And you keep copying what I say, obviously as a defense mechanism.

So, it looks like YOU need to step away from 'the website'. You can start detaching by deleting your obsessive "bookmarks" and "compilations"... If you're so worried about people talking to each other you must be furious about the PM feature here. zOMG. People talking to each other without your approval! zOMG!

I'll try to keep it simple this time, hopefully that will make it easier to understand and you can calm down.

I have one post by a Bernie supporter bookmarked (no need for scare quotes, it's a harmless feature) and the bookmarked post contains a compilation of screenshots for easy access.

Again:

One bookmark to one post, that one post is a compilation of screenshots.

No files, no bizarre conspiracy, no tinfoil required to block the mind control rays.

You seem to be getting more and more confused and paranoid and I really don't know how much more I can do to alleviate your fears.
