The wonderful experience of reading the Democratic Underground discussion groups is the level of intellectual socratic discourse one encounters while hearing the ideas that conservatives expound challenged. Political differences are resolved by setting up each Republican idea and then presenting reasoned arguments why the Democratic path is the better one for the country.

Examples:

We have the votes in the House of Representatives.
We have the vote in the Senate.
We have the Executive Branch.
We don’t need the Republicans to Govern.
It is time to remove the Republicans from play and implement full progressive policies in this country.

I can’t stand to even watch a Republican or read any of their lying shit anymore. They make me too angry.
They are such evil, small people.

We don’t need people with no conscience or empathy having a political party.We don’t have the government for greedy bullies to destroy and pillage.If the rethugs don’t have the sense to shut up and go away,if they keep that selfish bullshit going,the people who already hate the psychopath party won’t tolerate the robber baron, fundie cultie bully loudmouth ,ignorant assholes on the right much longer. And if they go too far one day it will become open season on bigots.

Republicans should be eliminated with extreme prejudice by any means necessary

I don’t believe in this American experiment either. Parties with different ideas about how to get things done are terrible for a country. Why should there be a debate about anything? We all know what will work!

The Republican Party needs to be eliminated. They serve no useful purpose. There’s no reasoning with them. They’ll gladly destroy the country if they think it will return them to power. May they all rot in pieces. I hate to say I hate anyone, but I hate them all. …..
