I am truly tired of ALL the back and forth screaming at each other that this Primary Season has set off. Not that it's unexpected - I quit lurking as Kerry won the nomination last time around. I know things get ugly, then stay ugly for a while, then rebound to the normal state of MOSTLY not ugly. In the meantime...
I would like to propose a thread, here and now, where ALL sides can vent their most purulent bile - get it outta the way so we can DISCUSS the ISSUES in a civil manner elsewhere! A caveat - when I say vent, I do NOT mean using gratuitous racist or sexist insults. I do NOT want to provide cover for trolls who'd misuse this opportunity to throw out the "B" word or the "N" word - we're better than that. But if you've got a gripe about the way Hillary is ATTACKING Obama - let it OUT! If you think Edwards is a wasted vote - let it OUT! If you think Obama can't win for some reason - let it OUT! And let out these ""CONCERNS"" of yours here and now and, as MUCH as possible, for good!!!
A bit more explanation of why I think this is legitimately important below:
Lest you think this is just a masturbatory practice on my part, lemme assure that I've put a WEE bit more thought into it than that. (OK, so it just hit me...) See, I'm lucky enough to be a Trusted User. I get to see the SAME old whine fests, blood lusts, and driveling disagreements disappear again and again and again behind the veil of the Hidden Comments. I think this leaves enough people OUT of these disagreements that they end up popping up OVER and OVER again elsewhere.
ENOUGH! Let's let it all out - above the HC for all to see - so we can get back to debating the nomination everywhere else. If someone calls you a petulant douchebag here, tip them! If someone calls you "weedy and bespectacled", laugh and agree! If CaliforniaBabe shows up - err, well, troll rate her sorry ass...
BUT THEN, and most importantly, in a few very short weeks, LET'S COME TOGETHER BEHIND THE NOMINEE!!!
