Apologies to all for the NV rumors thread last night

2. I'm sorry if the responses were overly harsh... I feel like the constant drumbeat of

panicky posts and worse, those posting that Trump WILL win reelection and all is lost and we should all face loss of our democracy.... (and on and on) is extremely harmful. Some see them for what they are while others suspect we are facing a lot of trolling from RW or other actors seeking to demoralize and suppress DEM votes. And we know we have reason to be fearful.

That is why FB and all the lying created bullshit being allowed over there is so damned harmful. Even otherwise skeptical posters get caught up in it and especially for those new to the election process it can be overwhelmingly convincing.

The bottom line is we have to keep perspective. We are at the start of the primaries--not the end and one hell of a lot can happen between now and the convention--much less between now and the election. Don't let anyone demoralize us and if we are, take a break. Don't propagate it.
