I'm so glad there is so much appreciation for Democrats here.

We have a lot of sitting Democrats to re-elect and many more to elect to increase our Democratic numbers this Fall.

It's like this place is called DEMOCRATIC Underground or something.

Keep supporting Democrats!

Not really. Some of it is attributable to some pretty oppressive draconian rule changes Hissyspit Jul 2016 #5

that forced some of that transition.

In fact, this post is probably breaking one of those new rules. Which, of course, proves my point.

Love this place and the way the administrators have handled this difficult situation has been stellar. Love the changes over the last month. It's been great.

Sorry you feel different. I don't mean that condiscendingly. I'm well left of the party and feel I can speak very openly on a very wide array of topics.

and that the rules changes were the only cause. The fact that the coming together would have happened naturally eventually I consider an argument against the rules changes. I could go over specifically why I don't think the changes are not stellar, but you probably don't want to read it, and I don't particularly want to do the work, so we'll just agree to disagree.

I'm all blue in who we're re-electing in my district and state, and I don't have a lot to donate to candidates.

But I'm in, and I'm with her.
