Please let's just ignore the noise.

2018.

That. is. all. that. matters.

1. UNITY over terminology

[Fullduplexxx]

2. Ignore their bs vote blue no matter who

[DFW]

3. No kidding!

Time for a rerun of 2006 and then 2008.

No more post-election "what went wrong?" Time for "That went well!"

4. I Just Posted This In Another Thread And It Applies Here As Well.....

Stop It - Just Stop It People - First Things First....

You need to decide whether you are a Repug or a Dem. If you are a Repug - you have no business posting here. This is called Democratic Underground.

If you decide you are a Dem - then all Dems need to focus and ban together to defeat the Repugs and the Trump Administration in Nov. That is where all our emphasis needs to be directed now.

Don't let the Repugs - confuse the issue and define us. There is plenty of time after we take back control from the insanity that we've experienced since Nov 2016 to work within the Party to define ourselves and the form of government we want to work under.

Dems of all persuasions amongst ourselves will work on a 'bi-partisan' basis to compromise and define ourselves as a Party. And that's more of what we were used to - when the Dems and Repugs could compromise in the past. Those days are gone between Repugs and Dems - but they're still alive and kicking within the Dem Party.

What I'm seeing happening here at DU is we're getting back into the conflicts among ourselves that we had in the campaigns of 2016 and we're beginning to fall into the same traps. We just can't afford to be sucked into that conflict again. You all know what I mean.

Our mission here and now is to defeat the Repugs and Trump and to take back control from these treasonous bastards. If you choose to accept that mission then don't get sidetracked by these definitional road hazards that the other side is trying to throw us off in.

The Midterms need to be an historic election. In order to take back control we need to turn out the most people ever to vote in a U.S. election. The Repugs are focused. They will cheat and steal votes by any manner that they could. Voter suppression, gerrymandering and help by Putin and the Russians is all in play and if you want to defeat that then the only way is to turn out in numbers that they can't overturn without casting suspicions and exposing their illegal tricks.

No Dems - now is not the time to get into conflicts amongst ourselves. Now is the time to ban together and take back control. If you can't handle that - then get out of the way and let the real Dems do the right thing.

5. So they are. It will continue and grow until November.

We need to call out attempts to depress turnout whenever we see them.

[CentralMass]

6. They is "us"

[Iggo]

11. Is they?

Is they?

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Noticed a increase

in posters who have not been around for a couple of years. And these posters will just amp up their crap as the next ninety days pass.

[themaguffin]

15. Yeah and we don't need this. Too much at risk

[Wellstone ruled]

17. Hope the MOD's take action

on these folks. Yesterday was a example of coming out of the wood work.

[GoCubsGo]

19. Yeah, I noticed a number of people have returned from that other site.

It's sad to see so many falling for the divisiveness, too.

8. 0.00000025

😀
2018 divided by 2018, divided by 2018, divided by 2018😀

[peggysue2]

9. The division-making is part of the program . . .

not a bug. It helped move the needle in 2016, so the ideologues are trying it again--same reel, same bait.

Don't be distracted or swayed. Keep your Eyes on the Prize and reserve all energy for a massive win in November. The closer we get to the election, the louder the dividers will become.

So yes, ignore the noise whenever possible. Let them stew in their own juices.

[themaguffin]

10. exactly

[FSogol]

12. K & R. n/t

[Iggo]

13. I've seen this anti-socialist stuff here before.

When was it?

Oooooh yeah...

[themaguffin]

14. huh?

[Greybnk48]

16. Yep! HUGE push to vilify the term "liberal."

That's been going on since the Nixon era when his "ratf*ckers" started that.

18. Lots of suspicious posts on Tad Devine, or being white is a drug...

This sort of divisive garbage is coming straight from Putin. We need to aggressively alert on it.
