30. There is a large amount of frustration and I don't think we are

May 2016

at a point where we are listening to each other, which is a tough thing for a discussion board to be dealing with.

For example, you didn't actually discuss the content of the thread I posted. Hillary Clinton came out and said something definitive on Tuesday, and less than 48 hours later, her statement is being directly contradicted by a major news organization. Either someone is "playing them", or she is being kept in the dark (which is plausible, given the nature of the interviews), or she is not telling the truth. Those are three separate PLAUSIBLE scenarios, but the end result is that Hillary is taking a reputation hit. This topic is something I think is worthy of discussion, but in the current climate, it is immediately viewed as "partisan" instead of "participatory".

Does that make sense?
