About Me
I've been a member of DU for over 14 years, but now it is time for me to check out.
The glee people on this site took over bashing Gov Northam is too much. EW Jackson, VA's version of a RW troll is being respected and his options considered while the Gov who expanded medicare to 800,000 citizens of my state (including an adult son) is bashed over a 35-year old indiscretion.
I see DU as being infected by RW trolls and ratfuckers while the admins are largely absent. See 2016 if you don't believe me. While Northam was being bashed, threads appeared bashing Harris (she took a hard stance against Franken) and Booker (he's corporate) and promoted people who will never be elected in America such as Gabbard and Sanders. Their indiscretions are ignored. For what reason? Their unelectability?
The members here that aren't RW trolls or ratfuckers are attempting to achieve some type of purity that will never happen due to mankind's flawed nature. People ar human and prone to mistakes. The rhetorical tools that attack people such as HRC, Franken and Northam will be turned on people like Kamala Harris and Justin Fairfax. It is only a matter of time. I refuse to help the RW and the PURE destroy people and our party.
DU was a noble idea, but is a tool on the internet being used to ruin the Democratic Party, suppress the vote, and destroy decent candidates. I won't take part in this crap any longer.
To my couple of friends here, so long, it was nice chatting with you. You know how to reach me if you want.

O'Malley Op-ed: Donald Trump’s reckless stance on gun laws
It tells you everything you need to know about today’s Republican Party that its frontrunner for President believes immigrants are a bigger threat to this country than assault weapons.
Donald Trump recently released a plan to allow unfettered access to handguns without adequate safety measures like universal background checks. He opposes state laws prohibiting high-capacity magazines and assault weapons. And he proposes federalizing concealed carry permit programs. This is, quite honestly, reckless and irresponsible. His proposal is just shameless pandering to the National Rifle Association—one of the most powerful special interest lobbies in the country. The only thing on which we agree is that our country has a problem with gun violence. But, unlike Donald Trump, I know that the only way to combat gun violence is by standing up to the NRA and implementing comprehensive gun safety laws. That’s exactly what I’ve done throughout my career, and will do as President. Will you stand with me today? As President, I will pass a national assault weapons ban, implement stricter background checks, and increase efforts to reduce straw-buying, like fingerprint requirements. Sign up today to stand with me against gun violence, and read my full policy paper on how I’d address this issue. https://martinomalley.com/act-on-gun-violence Thanks, Martin O’Malley
