We won a huge race and there is an immediate increase in attacks on Democrats and even DU members. [View all]

It’s extremely transparent.

Keep up the good fight. Don’t be distracted. So much of the pessimistic mindset is transitioning to optimism. Don’t let these ratfuckers dilute your optimism.

If they are providing cover for Republicans, recognize it and move on. If they have Clinton Derangement Syndrome, move on. If they call you a racist for simply criticizing an African American, move on. If they attack progressive leadership using empty slogans void of thought, move on.

They are transparent, just as almost every single poster here is a transparent progressive. Don’t let the few acting in bad faith do anything to your optimism.

The increase in ratfucking since yesterday morning is clear. Recognize it and them. Your minds are too beautiful to waste.
