I wish posters would stop closing doors in our faces and work instead to open them and keep them open.
You are entitled to make your post. It violates no rules of DU, and it is only the post we are discussing, not the person. However, about that post, ...
You made a bald, black-and-white negative statement.
You just left it there, like a turd, stinking up the room with doom and gloom.
Your direct implication (because it is so terse) is that nothing can be done.
If you had something other than doom to offer you would offer it. When you say "there is no longer time" (a false statement) you are closing the door.
You offer not a single line of discussion.
You state it as if it is a fact when it is not.
Fundamentally your statement is an example of the binary all-or-nothing fallacy. It acts as if the 12 months and 36 months to the next major elections are meaningless and they don''t exist. As if there is nothing anybody can do in 12 months to protect the vote or get out the vote. That is false. There is much that can be done. Voter suppression legislation in progress must be fought. Court challenges must be mounted. Voters must be assisted in registering and voting. Voters must be informed of their rights, their means and ways to register and to vote. And more. It is NOT lost. It is NOT over.
Indulging in fallacious binary thinking is a lazy trap. Don't fall into it and especially don't spread it.
Please.
In my opinion, posts like yours are simply a drag on Democrats and have no place here. Please.
