(16,887 posts)I was blatantly called a liar on a thread yesterday. Do you think that endears me to fellow Democrats here? It gets absurd. And I've seen it happen a lot on here lately to a lot of posters. Snark and bashing and stupidity.
I guess unlucky for those who disagree with me, I don't give a shit what someone else thinks, and I keep posting my views because my views are just as valid as any one else's. No more so, no less so. They are my views.
When we talk about supporting Dems and how the discussion of wanting them to do more is defeating the momentum and tearing at the community - MY biggest concern about defeating momentum and tearing down the community is the admission that Democrats can't or won't do more. To me, that is the most depressing aspect of any of this, and the polls right now (if you believe in polls) support that. Democratic voters are reporting that they are unhappy with what Democrats are doing. That should be a wake up call.
They need to get creative. If some of them need to go to jail, then they need to go to jail. If some of them need to get sued, then they need to get sued Good trouble. Lots of it. And other than our Texas Democrats right now, I am not seeing that. Newsom and Pritzker are awesome. But every single Democratic governor should be doing as much or more than they are.
