1. Ugh.

Are you sure you want primary arguments in GD?

[USALiberal]

5. What argument? Biden won. Nt

[MontanaMama]

8. Yes he did.

But that won’t stop certain people from being tedious about it...I kind of like having that hot mess wrangled in one obvious spot. Just my opinion.

[Turin_C3PO]

2. I think it will be re-labeled.

Something like “General Discussion: Election” or something like that.

[PatSeg]

4. Yeah

I think that is the way they've done it in the past.

[Miles Archer]

25. Yep..."General Discussion: Election" until November 4th.

Makes the most sense.

[Yavin4]

28. I don't like that name, "General Discussion: Election"

I prefer "Let's Kick Trump's Orange Ass Out of our White House"

[Cha]

26. Yeah.. we still need a spot. General Election

[demmiblue]

3. Oh gawd, please no (keep the drama llamas isolated from GD). n/t!

[ancianita]

10. +1

[Cha]

27. Oh Yeah.. 'Cause there's no "drama" in GD with

with ******* trump.

Had to insult us with "drama llamas".. just couldn't resist, eh?

We're only working on getting the Democratic Candidate to beat trump.. so we won't have that monster killing our Planet.

6. We'll always have Tulsi...

[denem]

9. !

[peggysue2]

13. LOL!!

[tritsofme]

7. We should close it anyway. There's no point in discussing a primary race that is over.

[aikoaiko]

11. What about Tulsi? She's a 1-percenter here on DU.

not really serious.

[MyOwnPeace]

12. But, but........

what about that Tulsi supporter?

[treestar]

14. I've been on DU since 2006 or so

but still don't remember when this forum gets closed! Might be after the convention?

[Blue_true]

16. Did a forum like this one exist before? nt

[treestar]

17. Yes - I recall the 2016 one

quite well. For 2008 I think it was there - stayed out of it and I liked both Obama and Hillary. But I've seen comments there was a lot of drama then too.

[Blue_true]

21. I didn't notice the 2016 one. I had come back to DU after a couple years off of it.

I first joined DU in 2010, after the disastrous Midterm election.

[treestar]

22. I joined around the time of the 2006 election

which was a good one for us! Pelosi was big then, just elected speaker, and there was a photo of her talking to Dubya, he was seated and she was behind him standing and talking down into his dumb ears! 14 years later she is still kicking butt!

You may have been here in time for the Obamacare debates and the left saying it wasn't good enough - kill the bill - and then the web site was such a disaster, but it's still there now. And trolls saying Obama lost their vote for escalating in Afghanistan when that's what he said he would do while campaigning.

[Blue_true]

23. I didn't join until November or December of 2010.

The ACA was done then and the Website was having typical Rev 1 issues. Republicans took advantage of people's hesitancy about the ACA (but, how things changed for those idiots 8 years later). I remember people on the far left complaining about the ACA and other never before passed legistlation, it was not good enough, as Ed Schultz bellowed on MSNBC as he demanded that people sit out the midterms, Cenk was on MSNBC for a short while doing the same thing. Once Biden is in office and starts cleaning up the mess that Trump is making, I hope that people are smarter this time around and realize that he needs a strong democratic Congress behind him to pass the type of legistlation that the far left wants. If often hesitate when I use "far left" because everyone here is on the Left, there are a decent number of Center-Left people, lots of Left-Center people like me, even more True Left people, then a few of the type of people that became Sanders supporters (written not to dismiss them, most all are very sound people).

I know that with my own politics, I overlap some with the Center-Left and True Left, but I am also in my own space politically, for example, a lot of people that are True Left have deep concerns about the form of capitalism that we have, those Center-Left mostly embrace capitalism, I also embrace capitalism but only in the sense of being a social democrat that sees capitalism as a useful tool for achieving greater benefits for society.

[question everything]

15. Keep it as GD Politics, or no-virus forum.

Many non virus posts on GD just sink.

[Blue_true]

18. ...

Yes indeed, the COVID-19 has taken over the GD forum. People are posting some good pointers there about staying safe, though.

[treestar]

19. maybe the virus should have its own forum

for the time being!

[question everything]

20. Great idea!

[mikelgb]

24. I think there should at least be a little after glow time

and what about Tulsi?
