2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Why "Call it, Skinner" May Very Well be the Wosrt Idea That We Will Come to Regret [View all]
The idea of a Trump presidency makes me very unsettled.
I don't like Clinton, and I cannot say if I would or would not vote for her, because I have not considered that issue while Sanders is still technically in the race. I know. Do the math. Not yet.
I would NOT vote for Trump. 3rd party, perhaps. But that is not the issue here.
That being said...
A Trump presidency.
Worst case scenario? Well, we had better get ready.
Better to have a plan and not need it, than, well you know how that saying goes...
If that happens (Trump), nothing that has been discussed here, nothing about Sanders, nothing about Clinton, nothing...
...will matter anymore.
Talk about bringing the party together.
- The environment
- A path to legal residency/citizenship
- LGBT
Etcetera, etcetera.
We cannot afford to jettison ONE PERSON, we cannot afford to lose ONE CONTRIBUTOR...
Who believes in the issues that are important to us.
Two pipelines and several (very toxic) compressor stations were planned to run from PA to VT via upstate New York.
All of the above projects were either cancelled or suffered a major setback due in part to...
Community involvement.
There is a thread parallel to this one, in which a poster insists that DU is not an influential source of information.
I don't believe that for a minute.
To borrow a term from my Navy brethren...
It's time for all hands on deck.
Have a good 'what's left of the weekend' (raining here) and think about keeping as many contributors under this tent as possible.
Happy Sunday
It's May 1st. While you were sleeping, November just got one month closer.
