9. First, Welcome to DU. Second, did you vote for them?

If not, stop with the whole apology thing. I detest apologies by, I don't know, association? Like because my family came here from France 300 years ago I should apologize for the Terror of the French Revolution?

Stop it.

Are you doing anything to defeat them. That is the question.

And, again, welcome to DU. I am not usually this brusque with anyone, but now is not the time for navel gazing. It is the time to work. I was actually on the other side not that long ago and I guess I should apologize for a whole lot of my votes. But what would that accomplish?

I hope you stick around.
