NanceGreggs, In appreciation.

[sheshe2]

Nance Rants and does it with a precision of a surgeon. Some don't like her much. That is sad because she is a voice to be reckoned with. She speaks the truth.

Love ya Nance.

[spanone]

1. K&R...

[JustAnotherGen]

2. Yes she does

She's also very good at pointing out what politicians themselves have said. It's not attacking a Democratic party member, official, or leader to point out someone who is progressive - but is adamant they are not a Democratic - has said they are not.

[brer cat]

3. Nance has never backed down

in the face of republican bullshit, calling it what it is every time. I adore her!

[George II]

9. Time for a little music:

[sheshe2]

Thank you George!

[brer cat]

22. Thank you, George!

[2naSalit]

4. She's one of the most eleoquent

of ranters! I do appreciate her rants and writings and look forward to them. She sure has a way of saying what I am thinking and feeling on the topics she writes about.

20. "Some don't like her much."

Is this true? I'm dumbfounded.

[sheshe2]

25. Nance is a true Democrat.

Never waivers. Never.

Several years ago, I was a nubie. I read Nances threads and loved her voice. She popped into the BOG one night , Cha had done a birthday thread for me. She wished me a happy birthday. It meant a lot to me, since I loved her posts yet did not really know her.I asked her why she stopped by the BOG...she said that she liked what I had to say.

One voice makes us strong.

[ailsagirl]

75. Me too-- news to me

[bravenak]

21. They hate her for being RIGHT

[sheshe2]

27. Correct.

They do.

I guess us uppity women just need to raise our voices a few more notches. Hell, This is the whole point right now. It is not JUST women. It is NOT just POC. It is NOT just LGBT. MUSLIMS. JEWS. IT is not just ONE of us they are coming after. They are coming for us all. POINT IS we fight this together. I have said this time and time again. We FIGHT it together or we die.

ONE VOICE. PERSIST. RESIST.

[bravenak]

28. Exactly

This is not a drill. This is real shit

[sheshe2]

29. This is not a drill.

I love you sister.

[bravenak]

30. Love you too

[NastyRiffraff]

61. They hate her for being right, AND eloquent

She is a treasure here on DU.

[bravenak]

62. She absolutely is and can write circles around them

They can't catch her fade, y'all!! Lol!!

[fun n serious]

23. I think she is awesome.

I sure wish I had the class that she does.

Love ya Nance.

[SunSeeker]

[patricia92243]

26. My favorite poster.

[williesgirl]

31. I love her posts.

[VOX]

32. She's one of DU's best.

Always enjoy and appreciate her posts.

[Lifelong Protester]

33. A person I always read!

[NBachers]

34. Nance is one of the cornerstones of what I think Democratic Underground stands for -

Strong expression, intelligence, and skewering & roasting those who deserve it. She makes it worthwhile to be here.

This appreciation thread is long overdue, and you're just the woman to do it, sheshe2.

I always know I'm in the right neighborhood when I see you around.

[FrenchieCat]

35. What she said!

❤

[sheshe2]

36. Love ya Frenchie...

Lol. we are twinners.

[airplaneman]

37. I have often read posts before I look at who the author is.

There have been many outstanding posts that I look up to see NanceGreggs. More of recent I am half way thought when I guess it is NanceGreggs and wind up being more correct than not. A great liberal who can put things to words much better than I ever could. I would say she speaks for me.

[calimary]

38. I LOVE her work!

She certainly rants for me!

[Hekate]

39. Don't know what brought this on, but I agree completely

[longship]

40. We missed her when she left.

We all love that she's back, and with her sharpened quill.



Love ya madly, Nance!

[world wide wally]

41. Love her

[NurseJackie]

42. A straight shooter ... no-nonsense ... wit and wisdom. Love her so much!

[all american girl]

43. I, too, love Nance...she is awesome!!!!!!

[smirkymonkey]

44. K&R

[malaise]

45. Yes

Never miss her posts

[DFW]

46. Never afraid to speak her mind, and willing to let the chips fall where they may

My kind of DU poster. Reminds me somewhat of another friend like that.

He used to be chairman of the DNC. Some don't like him, either, and for the same reasons.

[Squinch]

47. Kick!

[AgadorSparticus]

48. No progressive should EVER have a problem with what she writes

[Demsrule86]

49. Thank you Nance for your many excellent posts...

I think there are many who appreciate you and like you. I do and I make it a point to read your posts.

[Gothmog]

50. I stand with Nance

54. Have you ever wondered if Nance scares more people away from the Democratic Party than she attracts?

Yes she's a beloved fixture here on DU. However, anyone sitting on the fence such as many independents, or anyone living in the sticks, or any moderate republican who is thinking of becoming a Democrat would surely run in the other direction after reading one of her stereotypical rants, many of which blame THOSE people and paint them all as DUMB...and never point the finger at anything we might have done wrong ourselves.

Her rants might give you some much needed comfort after a shocking political loss to a sociopathic liar like Trump, but to anyone sitting on the fence, wondering where to turn, condescending rants like hers are often a complete turn-off. Sorry to rain on your parade.

[The Wizard]

57. How many fence sitters inhabit DU.

In the face of Republican lies, Nance fights back. When dealing with sociopath Republicans there's no point in being polite. It is incumbent on normal people to stick their collective fingers in the faces of these ignorant bigots.
Trying to reason with a rattlesnake or Republican is akin to pissing into the wind.
How many times should we reach across the aisle only to pull back a bloody stump? Witnessing what happened to President Obama is all I need to know when it comes to talking to Republicans. As soon as someone tells me they watch Fox News the conversation is terminated. I'm too old to suffer fools.
Moderate Republicans? Yeah right.

[mtnsnake]

59. Hi. I wasn't talking about fence sitters who inhabit DU

I was talking about all the other people out there who read her rants, whether they read them on DU as lurkers or whether they read them on any other sites where the rants can be seen.

[treestar]

89. people should vote in their interests

not act like kids.

People aren't that simple, either. Look how insulting Orange Idiot is and yet gets support from people he insults.

Some people need a good hiding (figuratively).

[The Wizard]

55. Nance is my favorite DU contributor

and one of the people who attracted me here. She's also a FB friend and someone of whom I share posts liberally. She knows what's on my mind and express herself with confidence an alacrity. Thanks Nance for enhancing DU and all like minded normal people who share the Zeitgeist.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. A big, fat K&R!

I love her rants!

Nobody does it better.

NOBODY.

[Happyhippychick]

58. She is and has always been my favorite DUer

❤️

[heaven05]

60. I like her

she nails it...especially concerning our coward in chief boy-potus puppet and his two string pullers. Always naysayers here, I just try to overlook and ignore them now.

[sheshe2]

65. Agree, to all 100%

[NastyRiffraff]

63. This belongs on the Greatest page

When I see Nance as the OP poster, I automatically click on it. I love good writing and I'd read her for that alone, but I also often learn something new from reading her posts.

Thanks for this thread, sheshe
to you and Nance!

Kicking again.

68. With apologies to St Paul and his second letter to Timothy

She fights the good fight, she continues to run the race, she has kept the faith.

She doesn't have an easy track to run but she is undeterred and it helps others keep going.

[sheshe2]

74. You ROCK, Nance!!

[mercuryblues]

76. Yes!

IMO, no one can match her acerbic wit.

[madamesilverspurs]

77. It's Nance's fault

that I'm on DU. Followed a link where she was quoted, and it brought me here. And it was her voice that encouraged my participation beyond responding to threads. It always feels more like home when she posts. Always.

Thanks, Nance!

(And thanks to YOU, sheshe2, for this thread!)
