I'm sure many here have already joined this movement, and likely (hopefully) this has been posted here before, but it is something that can't be reiterated often enough:

Na, I'm good. I'm not saying this isn't legit, it could be. But I have enough junk to sort through as it is.
Besides, I don't really agree with corporate vandalism. I have pretty strict guidelines set for myself regarding the 1st Amendment.
NOT watching Fox News and encouraging the same to others is the best path in my opinion.

I simply stated my position on such matters, that's all.

(2,576 posts)Many years ago, I set up an email account on Yahoo, and only use it for this sort of thing. There must be millions of spam postings on it by now!
I wonder how that Nigerian prince is doing?

(1,786 posts)opinion is that we win hearts and minds by playing the long game, not by attacking people.
Specifically, taking the high road, not playing silly games, not calling people kindergarten names. We should promote solid policy, do what we promise, and behave like professionals. Some days that is very hard to do because of the way the other side behaves, but we must be the adults in the room. Doing so carries permanent weight, not just a drive-by point score.
We can spend our days calling out Trump for being a complete ass because of his unacceptable behavior, but it doesn't do any good if we have even a few on our side behaving the same way.
Then again, maybe I'm a little too old school, who knows. That is probably why my opinions aren't very popular here.
