(135,425 posts)When people act like assholes and call people "Third Way" or other snarky descriptors, and suggest that being a supporter of Obama or Clinton equates to being a corporate stooge or something, it brings the level of discourse way, WAY down.
It makes people who have better things to do not want to hang around arguing with people who would stoop so low as to use those methods. Hell, if one wants to argue with name calling putzes, one can always go find Republicans all over the place. I come here to converse with Democrats, but woe be it unto me if I don't support some pie-in-the-sky Kuncinich-like wasted effort, then, I am a "traitor" to some cause defined here by a small group of keyboard bullies.
Maybe the admins ought to just say "screw it" and open the board to trolls and weirdos. Turn it into Yahoo, where the stupidity absolutely burns! Or cash in and cash out--I'll bet this site is worth a few bucks; they might as well get some dough for all their hard work. Sell it to the highest bidder; take the money and run....?
