it might not be for everyone, the reality is that is where low-information voters get all their news/info. I agree that they want us to scatter and disappear, but I’m an advocate for those of us who can, to stand our ground and be a voice.

I see it as part of the resistance.

For those who don’t agree, or don’t wish to remain, I would hope the relentless dictums that we must leave (often in all caps) will cease in favor of respecting an alternate view from within our own tent.

Pfffft... Prairie Gates Nov 2024 #7

You're in effect accusing every liberal on there, including all the Democratic leaders, of being there just highplainsdem Nov 2024 #9

Yes, I read this defense the first few times you posted it Prairie Gates Nov 2024 #14

So tell them so, since you think your argument's so compelling. LOL. highplainsdem Nov 2024 #15

Replying to silly arguments like Joseph Fasano's posted on DU Prairie Gates Nov 2024 #17

Describing Fasano's statement as "silly" says a lot about you. highplainsdem Nov 2024 #18

Who's dictating anything? LOL Prairie Gates Nov 2024 #19

Ridicule is often used for bullying. Especially crude, vulgar ridicule like comparing Fasano's carefully reasoned highplainsdem Nov 2024 #20

Do you not see how replies like yours to highplainsdem above resemble some of the trolling that happens on Twitter? Emrys Nov 2024 #28

I understand his rationale Blue_Tires Nov 2024 #10

You got those even under Following, or under For You, which is always a mix? highplainsdem Nov 2024 #13

I left twitter when Musk bought it Jarqui Nov 2024 #29

That was predictable. I miss being able to engage and, on occasion, have fun despite diametrically opposing views. OilemFirchen Nov 2024 #31
