In reply to the discussion: Allan Lichtman, creator of 13 Keys to White House, makes election prediction update [View all]femmedem
(8,530 posts)27. Hey, even with "please," that's unneccessary and unwelcoming to a DU member
who is trying to share information with us. Replies like that prevent DU from growing. I've seen at least three low post count, non-troll DUers quit the site because of snarky or judgmental replies in the last week or so.
You could say you don't like to click videos, or that you are interested in the information but would prefer to get your information via reading, if the poster has time to post a summary. There's no need to say someone is being lazy or that a video about Allan Lichtman's prediction is clickbait.
Videos are allowed. They are not required to have a summary, although many of us prefer them. Ordering or trying to shame someone into posting a summary is out of line, IMO.

Whoah. Not exactly. That is for the time being & four keys are fluid. FINAL assessment AFTER the convention.

Yes, sorry, he did say he hasn't made a prediction, but that a lot would have to go wrong for Harris to lose.
