There we go. I just saved authors of 90% of candidate-related diaries the trouble of figuring out how to format their respective diaries. Feel free to copy and paste your unique and utterly birlliant perspectives.
Holy fucking meta-ass-crap-balls, people. What is happening to us?
Anti-Candidate diaries are showing me one thing and one thing only:
I want nothing to do with the majority of single-candidate supporters on this site. Not one thing.
They're all fucking insane.
Myopic views, single-minded thoughts, stubborn like a freakin brick wall. There's no debate involved. All that matters is the answer to the following question:
Do you support my candidate?
A. Yes
B. All of the above.
Any other answer, and the diarist couldn't give less than a fuck-all what you think.
People obviously should feel free to promote their preferred candidates, should be able to call out the other candidates for things they disagree with. That's one of my favorite things about this site, it's a big God damn knowledge library, and odds are someone knows something useful for everyone.
But when people choose to NOT debate, but to rather distort, lie, obfuscate or otherwise engage in such Fox News tactics, it means we're in trouble.
We spend probably the same amount of time tearing down our own candidates as we do the Republican ones. Possibly more time.
Let us not make the mistake of expecting victory in the Presidential election. It's something we need to work for, and trust me, people.
Being dishonest fuckers towards our Democratic candidates is not a winning strategy.
Remember why we're all here. Electoral victory.
And whenever you write a diary calling Obama a hypocrite, or Hillary a lobbyist's shill, or Edwards whatever people call Edwards (hypocrite seems to be popular everywhere these days), you're only helping the Republicans.
