As to the straw man you set up and demolished ...

There are those on DU


Good Democrats always look for leaders, and now more so than times when we've had clear leaders.

Democrats are not doing all that can be done.

I make a point of not demanding "What are you doing?"

I do not equate dismay with giving up. I am dismayed and I have not given up. I equate doomer statements like "It's over" that we read so many times on DU as giving up.

Now, you will not be able to find posts of mine that refute what I have just written.

Your straw man. Your straw.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
