Wait one darn minute...please

Some people are saying that grownups on a discussion board are going to influence their friends not to vote for someone because of a stranger (who could be anyone), supporting (or pretending to support anyone) a candidate they're not fond of. They would go out and use a discussion board to prove to their 10 friends that said candidate is an ass because of the "supporter"?

In real life, at least my real life I wouldn't dream of mentioning the posters here as a reason not to vote for someone.

That is about on the same level as saying the voices in my head were telling me mean things about my candidate or my imaginary friends said mean things and they support the "other" candidate. OMG

Please tell me that this isn't true.

This board has taught me many things but I have never counted on the opinion's of it's posters to like or dislike Obama or Clinton. It's the posters that cause me to like or dislike the posters, their candidate can't help that their supporters are who they are.

:shrug:

shouldn't be voting.

stated over and over. It makes me wonder if I've entered the twilight zone.

;)

And my invisible friends agree too. :P

rant. The only thing I take from the internet, and DU in particular, to persuade people are links to established facts and links to videos. As you wisely said, what a poster says or does reflects solely upon their own character, certainly not their candidate.
