Their response tends to be 'well, it was pointed out a ways down the
reddit, and since the original poster didn't know about it, then they're
doing a really bad job.'

I've been watching their discussions closely the last 2 days, basically
they seem to be a 'pirate Democrat party' with healthcare reform, and so on.

I think when they actually realizse how much work there is to setting
one up here, they'll fizzle out of energy. Maybe we will then get some
people who are actually serious about it.
