As of my reply, I was happy to see a whole lotta posters applauding liberal and (once) Democratic values! A totally refreshing change that I have not seen in quite a while on DU.

How can one argue with anything in this post? I for one will not be donating to ANY political figure in the next two elections. My money is worthless to them compared to big donors and my voice is silent. I will be giving my money and time to my community instead and I am entirely sure it will be put to much better use. I wish we could see that we must heal and lead our communities and stop playing the manufactured gladiator games of divide and conquer and blue vs red team that is doing nothing but giving the fat cats a big old laugh.

Thank you for the best thread on DU
