In reply to the discussion: I'd like to give a round of applause to all the Jill Stein voters and JPR-atf*ckers out there [View all]disillusioned73
(2,872 posts)214. Defense..
no, just mocking the absurdity of it all.. and getting into an argument here is an act of futility.. we all know where the majority of this board stands, it's all anger/frustration 24/7 - I venture to guess similar to Bush Jr's term in office without the anti-war contingent.. I miss that part of the left & many others
Simply, I come here to get my fill of "reagan democrats" perspective..
