You obviously love to live in your own little echo chamber. I am going to vote for liberal candidates, but I am not voting with the Democrats this year. I can understand that weak willed people like yourself find comfort in mindless repetition because that requires minimal brain activity. God knows it would be an enormous strain for you to read a ballot rather than, say, just pushing the same button over and over again. Are you really so alarmed at the prospect of people not mindlessly voting for whomever the party coughs up? Why don't you leave so we thinking folks can talk and you can go say "baaaa" with the rest of the sheep?

People like you, who are reactionary and hysterical over other people not voting for Obama, are why his other supporters are painted as cultists. You remind me of Warren Jeffs' followers.

No, I am not going away. No matter how many times you tell me to do so. Remember: Slavery is over, and no matter what your beloved Obama tells you, black people do not have to obey your commands. Telling people to go away and stupidly repeating that tired "are you still here?" line, makes you look like a petulant child. Come up with something original, maybe something less corny. Okay?

Are you going to call me a nigger bitch next and tell me to leave? Guess what? Slavery is over and just because your house nigger Obama is willing to bow and scrape and do as you ask, this field nigger won't. So kiss my ass. You can have your sorry Democratic party and the new George McGovern. I know I am not fighting for him.

By the way, I would love to see you say those things to my face. I have a feeling you like to have your blacks subservient and would probably cross the street if you saw me or, better yet, an actual black man approaching. I am not the good black who will do what you say.

You internet thugs make me laugh. The anonymity of a computer gives you the freedom to be aggressive without incurring the beat downs you would certainly get in real life. What's wrong Thadeus? Were you bullied in the schoolyard? Shoved into lockers? Type "fuck you" until your heart's content. I can tell it makes you feel good and like a tough guy. Lord knows you do not have the stones to say it to anyone's face. Keep wanking, scrapper.

Rrrreow! The pussy has claws.

Sorry pal, unlike your beloved Obama, I am a black American. So, you can say anything you want about my failure to share your mancrush on Obama, but you have get over the "it's because he's black" thing. Nice try, though. Feel free to prove yourself to be a racist by presuming you can tell me, a lowly black woman, I should fall in line and vote for a "black man." It is not about his race. I do not like him as a candidate. Will I still be a racist if I vote for Cynthia McKinney?

You are the reason many Clinton supporters will not vote for Sen. Obama. Keep up the good work alienating them. Obama can be the next George McGovern and he will have people like you to thank.

I won't vote for Obama, but I won't vote for McCain. Am I no longer a liberal if I want to vote for the Green party candidate? What about those who won't vote for Obama, but will vote for a Democrat in every other race? Voting for Sen. Obama is now the only way one can be a Democrat? Obama and the Democratic party are not the gatekeepers of liberalism. Why do you want to shut down debate the way Republicans do?

It is certainly futile to discuss a Clinton presidential run in the context of her being the nominee of the Democratic party. However, people like me, liberals who will not vote for Obama, should have a space to discuss finding a new political home on the left. That is an important conversation for me and others who have been kicked out of the Democratic party. Don't think Clinton supporters have been kicked out of the party? Well you have demanded that we "STFU." We are called trolls, traitors, "greedy little pigs," etc. Does that sound like people who are still welcome in the party?

The potential exodus of major voting blocs from the Democratic party is worthy of discussion, don't you think? The possible formation of another major party on the left comprised of disaffected Clinton voters is a fascinating discussion. It would be a significant shift in American politics and a failure to document it, engage the discussion while the situation is fluid and current, would be unfortunate.

I do not understand how so many people conflate a failure to love Obama with being a troll. Let's not be like Republicans and call everyone a traitor or declare "you're either for us or against us."
