General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI have to say that I am discouraged, and disappointed with the fact that the wife and I aren't able to spend unlimited..
... amount of money to stay informed and still manage to pay our bills. Considering we need to get through our retirement. We have donated to every Democratic candidate on the ticket. We have sent several hundreds of dollars to President Biden and our State Senator and Representative races.
And now, one of the organizations that we follow and listen to their podcasts is having a three-way conversation (tease) about Biden possibly needing to step down for the good of the country. They are discussing President Harris and her chances................... then nothing!!!!
If we want to hear and participate, we would need to spend another minimum of $100.00 to get a full subscription. Pay or stay uninformed.
Just maybe, considering the massive shift the country has had in the last week. Maybe, just maybe, they can tell us what to do with our limited dollars to best get Democrats elected and in control. Yet now, with a discussion about a President Harris, those conversations will cost yet more money.
How many other retirees can't afford the cost of maintaining our democracy? When I say retirees, that means we have spent at least 65 years doing what our country has asked of us, and now, when we are still needed, there is an admission to get in the door.
Do I sound discouraged and frustrated? There has been a quantum shift in the last week, and we CAN't hear what's next.

Why are they targeting them?
Apparently they arent afraid of being targeted since they are publishing a blog on the Internet.
But you are apparently so concerned theyll be targeted you wont even say what this magical blog that you cant even afford to support.
