When discussion is slow on DU... Why

8. Nope. This is AGITATORS AT WORK, busy all over social media

getting excitable people distracted from the mess on the right to the far more important business of creating a giant rift in the left, assuming that's possible.

But 2018 is coming up fast already. WE MUST LOSE. This is an existential election for both the Republican Party AND possibly for Putin. Putin and the kleptocrats keeping him in power have much to lose personally. Their dreams of invading and sacking a dozen former Soviet Union nations without serious opposition are also on the line.

Don't be seduced into running in their harness. That's what happened to the right, and they're now crazy.
