I don't get the negativity and I never will

65. So you're saying we have no problem

That's not my experience. We have a problem, and after careful thought and deliberation based on my experience we have people who want it that way for various reasons. We have some people who are trolls. We have some people who believe that's the way to change things, like Susan Sarandon for example. We have some people who are just contrarians.

I think these people have hurt our cause. That's my opinion. It's not scientific. It's not fact. They are not the only thing that has hurt us but they are a proximate cause of our losses.

So how do I fight this? In my opinion, again, by being positive.

There are ways to express dissent without being discordant or discontented. This idea that one has a duty or a right to be obnoxious is just an excuse. It's a muddying up of the waters for no functional reason, and it's clearly something that our enemies have exploited.

David__77 I had erstwhile Democrats telling me in an aggressive and belligerent way that Hillary Clinton was going to be indicted for the e-mail server. That's just one example. I have been called things like "third way," "corporatist," "neo-liberal," ... How and when did I become a "third way," and why?

Let's just cut the crap. Do I expect that the hard core whatever they are will become functional? No, but I do expect that they are a small group of little consequence and that if those of us who understand that our enemy is "conservatives" and their pernicious though virus of an ideology, we can defeat them all. I really believe that.

Vote Democratic David. Forget the nonsense.
