What if we started to cut back on the "Woe are we" posts and look to 11/6 with enthusiasm.

Last edited Mon Oct 8, 2018, 10:02 AM - Edit history (1)

I understand the need to vent. What just happened especially for women was demoralizing.
But when we talk about leaving the country and how Dems don’t fight hard enough and how hopeless things are, that can serve to suppress turnout in some of our people.
We are only 29 days away.
The corporate media is lapping up McConnells propaganda that the Dems “overreaching and mob mentality” strategy only served to gin up Republican enthusiasm.
If so, We don’t need to help him by depressing our own people and dwelling too long on negativity.

Only a few more days to register people in many states. Check yours. Some end tomorrow.
We need to finish that task and then find a Dems candidate office to go into and volunteer and/or send a few bucks to candidates in close races across the nation.
Don’t buy any polling...both pro or con.....lots of new voters this time that may not be accounted for by most pollsters....polling is often wrong and volatile this far out.

Work as hard as we can until 11/6 for a Blue Wave 🌊!!!!
There will be plenty of time after 11/6 to look at moving to Canada 🇨🇦 or wherever,,,lol.

There will most likely be more (often fake) GBCW posts the rest of the month.

We still have forum hosts, but their primary job is to monitor the Late Breaking News forum for duplicates or other articles that don't meet the criteria for posts in that forum.

16. There are rules

And basically you broke one, although I don't really think you broke the spirit of the rule. But you're not supposed to make posts about what should and shouldn't be posted.

Share all you want.
I’m just hoping that we soon start to boost each other’s morale for 11/6. Just my hope.

That's not "share all you want"

Please, a little consistency.

not a good idea on a discussion board.

We already have enough group think bullies.

But then there are rose colored glasses for sale I think.

I've not seen that here yet, but have been on dozens of political forums since the 1990's and censorship is the kiss of death.

After that, every post can be a free for all about leaving the country.

If you look at the replies to leaving the country, most are simalar to “no I want to work to make my country better”
