What do you think about General Discussion: 2016? [View all]

I posted the thread below in General Discussion 2016. I have an additional question for the Hillary group. Are you staying away from GD 2016 for the kind of reasons I describe below?

*****************************

Do we have a new incarnation of the same old rage thing?

I've noticed that pro-Hillary and/or issues based posts don't get a lot of response. Sometimes just plain negative (note one where I said I was excited by Hillary's economic speech and the first response said, in effect, "Yeah, the proof is in the pudding."

This forum has somewhat the feel of the old Primaries forum. Lots of yelling and dissing and mocking. The difference, of course, is that Hillary was the target before, and the target now, Donald Trump, deserves every bit of mocking anyone can drum up. But, I find, I'm getting a little bored with it, especially without a healthy mix of pre-Hillary stuff beyond gloating about polls.
