REMINDER: This is the "DEMOCRATIC" Underground

[itsrobert]

We support Democratic candidates! I call for DU to unite for Ned Lamont and not tolerate any Indy Joe support!


Thank you!

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

1. HERE HERE

[IChing]

4. Except if you are DLC

but I, myself, agree here, here.

[tyedyeto]

6. Sad to say, there are those here who will support this man

even tho he is no longer a Democrat.

[longship]

17. Not on *this* site they won't.

DU rules are quite explicit. You cannot use DU to support opponents of Democratic Party nominees.

No Joe Lieberman for Senate advocacy allowed here, from tonight on.

[madokie]

28. now that is a rule I can curl up with

[kohodog]

2. Here Here!

:toast: :toast: :toast:

Bye Joe

[wanpete]

3. WORD UP! I'm totally disgusted with lieberman. What a pathetic loser.

[readmoreoften]

5. The most honorable thing he can do is drop out. /nt

[Critters2]

9. But he's not going to

So much for honor.

[peacetalksforall]

7. We've got another complaint against him. The list is long. I wish I

lived in CT.

[bigluckyfeet]

10. Joe is a disgrace

and a sore loser

[Democrat 4 Ever]

18. I suggest anyone that still wants to support Lieberman here than they

need to head on over to independentunderground.com. and sign in. Of course, if there isn't one maybe they want to take the time, effort and money to start one. Democratic Underground is here for true blue Democratic citizens who want the party to take back control of the House, Senate and the Presidency - we don't need lukewarm candidates at this point in history.

Joe lost in a fair and square election (he should count himself lucky - if he was running against a repug he would have had to worry about the vote counting) and needs to quietly retire to a lobbyist's corner office or a place on Chucklenuts' cabinet. If he were a true Democratic (like he has CLAIMED for the last three months) he would suck it up, throw all of his support behind Lamont and go out as a statesman instead of as a whiny ass loser throwing a two-year old's tantrum. He could live to redeem himself if he would just recognize he has been asked not to come back - and go.

[DemonFighterLives]

37. Maybe joes site can handle Independent Underground

:rofl:
I heard that Joe paid a whole 15 bucks a month for his bandwith.
:dem:

[AnOhioan]

8. Kick

Joe revealed himself tonight as the asshole he is.

Ned Lamont...a Dem we can actually be proud of.

[YOY]

11. Who the heck here supports the guy?

I haven't seen many DINOs about. Are they laying low or something?

[Warren Stupidity]

12. It is not just a good idea

ITS THE RULES.

Support expressed here on this board for the Lieberman (I-Asswipe) candidacy for senate is against the rules.

Read 'em and weep.

What a turd in the punchbowl he is.

[demigoddess]

13. HEAR! HEAR!

We all support the nominee, Lamont.

[Vidar]

14. Right on! Welcome to DU.

[tyedyeto]

15. So, will DU allow any support of Lie-berman in Nov.? n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Not if he is running against a Democratic Candidate...

Nope, No... No sirreebob. That's actively campaigning against a Dem candidate. :D

[lonestarnot]

16. Unity!

[Rex]

20. Good job Ned, shows Dems really do want a good future.

Colbert is soooooo messing with Joe the Ghost. LOL.

[Renew Deal]

21. Ned is now officially our candidate.

And I am very pleased.

[gully]

22. Agreed. I don't tolerate support for "Nader" and I won't tolerate support

for the loser of this primary in CN.

[depakid]

23. To me- Democratic Underground has always been

a place where those of us who hold traditional Democratic values could go once we were exiled. Some of us back in the mid 90's figured it out- we got sold out- and we saw what would happen. Some of us in good conscience- couldn't remain a part of the Lieberman wing of the party. Some of us still aren't sure.

It may have taken the 2000 election for the Admins to galvanize and make this place- and reunite us in the long and thankless quest to help each other and help us all (and that may mean :gasp: former Republicans) to take our country back- and I think that goes to show what's best in all of us.

- now let's move on and let's keep moving forward.

We are- and always have been, keeping the faith.

~Depa

PS: Thx Earl G., Skinner & Elad.... for making and keeping this place.

[BrightKnight]

24. Lieberman is essentially the Repug candidate now.

They will be lining up behind him. I suspect that a lot of Repugs voted for Lamont today.

[senseandsensibility]

25. Absolutely

Posting about supporting Joey is now the same as posting support for chimp.

[Cleita]

26. That has to be the plan! Somewhere we have to unite. n/t

[jerry611]

27. Interesting....

Everyone supports party loyalty over democracy...

I guess everyone here wants every election to be "D" vs "R"?

And I though we were against a black and white mentality...

[fishwax]

31. what the heck are you talking about?

who supports party loyalty over democracy? Who here is working against democracy at all?

The fact that the site owners won't have their resources devoted to defeating democratic candidates in no way means they are working against democracy.

[Solon]

35. Besides, it isn't true anyways...

you can support Bernie Sanders here, of course, that's probably because the DNC already endorsed him, but he isn't a big "D" Democrat.

[Warren Stupidity]

33. Which part of Democratic Underground are you missing?

Read the damn rules Jerry. We support Democrats here, and specifically the rules say that this means we support the official Democratic candidate in any race. It is very simple.

[DemonFighterLives]

39. We are against corruption and warmongers/profitteers

:eyes:

[wicket]

42. It's DEMOCRATIC undergroun

That's D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T-I-C

:nopity:

[tyedyeto]

29. Hey admins!!!!!

Please reply to this.

If Joe runs as this 'democratic-independent' will any support of him be allowed?

[DemonFighterLives]

44. Not an Admin

I think Joe won't count no matter what cockamamie name he flies under.
:dem:

[tbyg52]

46. Urrrrrp

:puke:

Now why'd you have to make me do that????

[LiberalUprising]

30. Right you are it is Democratic UNDERGROUND

NOT Democratic MAINSTREAM which is what all the candidates are

Just sayin.....

[fishwax]

32. welcome to DU!

and you're right about the rules :toast:

[joe_sixpack]

34. Exactly

just as we support Johnson now. He is the candidate and if Mckinney were to run as an indy, she'd face the same situation. The primarys are over and it's time to get to business.

[WildEyedLiberal]

36. That means McKinney support stops now, too

And pimping for the Green party.

Supporting Democrats works both ways.

[ulysses]

41. McKinney's not running as an indy. n/t

[WildEyedLiberal]

45. No, but a lot of people here are refusing to accept that she lost

IMO once a candidate has been determined for an office and the primary has occured, it should be against the rules to work against them on DU. That means it's against the rules to trash Lamont and against the rules to trash Johnson.

[dbackjon]

38. Agreed

Now that Joe has lost, and has left the party, ALL support must go to support Lamont.

[Pepper32]

40. Go Ned, I support you 110%!

United we stand, divided we fall. :toast:

[DemonFighterLives]

43. That is right!

No one minds a little banter from all sides, but those promoting anti-democratic stuff will soon meet the Alert function.
Welcome to DU!:hi:

Have I said lately that this place is the Sanctuary and it rocks:
:yourock: DU! :woohoo:
