I am really starting to think....
that I might just sit this election out. The more shit I see on this board, coming from the "supporters" who think they know everything, make me want to RUN AWAY. I'm tired of the trite, back seat drivers who think they know everything, slam people, and still expect someone to vote for their candidate, even if they themselves are as mean as shit to them.

I'm going to be thinking about this until the 4th of Nov. But right now, I am so mad, I don't care if I go to vote or not.

5. Everything!!
Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 12:50 PM by 1corona4u
I hate the sniping, jabbing, insinuating shit that didn't happen, the "I know everything asses", slamming both of our candidates about how they are doing things, and how they could be doing it all better!!, and other distractive divisive shit. It's nothing but fodder for the freepers, and when you try to make people see that, they attack you. I asked a simple question, and someone bit my fucking head off this morning. It's just not a good thing to do to me when you want something from me, my vote.

I'm sure Obama would NOT approve of this shit. But, it makes me think; why the fuck should I help these SAME people out with my vote?? Fuck it. They know everything, so I guess they don't need to listen to what anyone else thinks, or has to say. So I guess they don't need my vote either.

3. We're all just a bunch of opinionated windbags, Corona.
It doesn't matter what we say here on DU, or even what the 'experts' say -- What DOES matter is getting Obama and Joe into the White House. I don't see you sitting this out -- you care too much. :hug:

But I do understand your frustration -- just consider the source.

4. Everyone's getting burned out big time
The past eight years have been unprecedented and this election season has been extremely long. People are tired, scared, and frustrated. Sadly there are always those who don't know when to keep their mouths shut.

Personally I'm exhausted.

I think many of us have felt what you are feeling now.
DU gets really, really ugly at times.


I don't want you to leave - you have always been one of my favorite DUers
AND I know you want to vote for Biden, you can't fool me :pals:

7. This week has been especially bad
The financial crisis seems to be drawing a lot of emotions to the surface. Things will settle down at DU if we just let it alone for a bit.
