(42,770 posts)Another word to describe a real phenomenon that happens here - more and more over the years. Every time anyone posts something with the slightest hint of critique they immediately get pounced by the vast majority. Just look at how this op was treated when expressing their frustration about Hillary. It is their opinion. Why not discuss respectfully if there is anything she could or shouldn't do.
The election was chock full of other examples. Are we here just to agree with the majority? Why do people want to pounce in unison to sqwelch any kind of analysis? I recall a post suggesting that Mook might not be experienced and savvy enough to handle the likes of trump. It was met with mostly "how dare yous" Yet postmortems have said if Carville and Begala had run the campaign she would have won. Any post that cited the poll trends and noted they should concentrate solely on dark and light blues was met with "they know what they are doing"...yet those are the ones she ultimately lost.
Bottom line...think our combined knowledge and intelligence could be a powerful force if people would just allow respectful analysis.
