your post.

First, as a new member, I choose not to shit in the middle of DU's living room floor. I will try to refrain from insulting my new friends and will most likely exceed 441 post before I assert myself in any significant way.

Second, I will try not to presume that I know peoples views when I don't and I will try not to call out members in a way that disparages them.

Third, I will avoid getting up on my high-horse thinking I'm smarter and more informed than anyone else.

And what do you mean about "I thought Dems were..."? Why did you exclude yourself from that group? Are you not a Democrat? Do you think that by saying the things you said you're going to maneuver the board to your expectations? What you've posted is just short of a GBCW exit-manifesto. If that's how you feel, just quietly leave.

Finally, those goddamned North Dakota farmers help hand us this shit show and I will hold them eternally responsible. The ONLY WAY for them to redeem themselves is to turn their states, including Nebraska, blue in Nov 2020. Until happens, I don't care what you say about their slow-to-change stupidity. We need FAST change and don't have time to teach them right from wrong, they must get off their high-tractors and help us oust this regime and #VoteBlue!

May I sharpen your point a bit further? Cracklin Charlie Aug 2019 #1
