It has come to this, really ..........

..... what was once a place for serious discourse is now the province of inane cheerleading.

Two camps of cool kids.

1. People here aren't nearly positive enough to be considered cheerleaders. We're Jeerleaders!

3. folks need the support

Nothing at all wrong with the cheerleading. It's the promotion of the hatred of some here that's the distressing thing. There's always someone looking to knock one of the two down, and, I guess, encourage others to do the same.

I think it's significant that, for all the complaints about what these candidates have said in this election, there hasn't been anything close to the hatred and division being promoted here daily coming from these two.

5. I rarely come here anymore...

it's too depressing. I've seen posters whom I used to respect devolve into the equivalent of screaming 14 year olds.I also notice that for many,an anonymous message forum has replaced the real world.DU is a good example of how useless the internet really is for anything that resembles real news or debate.
