In reply to the discussion: So long DU [View all]Strat54
(58 posts)Actually, my experience back in 2008 was just the opposite. (I was a lurker back then. Only officially joined DU this year.)
But in 2008, I remember that anybody who said anything that wasn't 100% supportive of Hillary Clinton was fed to the wolves. I remember someone pointing out that HRC was a conservative DLC Democrat and a bunch of people jumped on him and ran him off the board. (I feel the same Hillary machine gearing up again.)
IDK Doc..
It seems to me that to be a Democrat at all you have to have pretty thick skin anyhow. It seems to me that we have a variety of Democratic philosophies on DU. I see people bash Obama all the time, so I don't know what you are whining about, unless this is just a ploy to get sympathy. ("Take my marbles and go home" type reaction.)
Everybody Chill!!! If you call yourself a Democrat, you have to accept 1 thing above all... Pragmatism!!! Barack Obama is NOT the best president ever (that would be FDR) but he is certainly NOT the devil and far, FAR better than Romney or McCain would have been. He is also not the worst president ever (that would be Reagan), so everyone please stop all this Binary thinking.
