Which is probably why it won't get quite as many views or very many comments.

Your post is well-reasoned and well-crafted. Sensible ideas and examples abound.

If you cursed a bit and added a little more rage at or mockery of Republicans your post could pick up speed and be shared around. But there's still the problem with being too sensible.

You know that won't get you anywhere, don't you? Now, if you paired your thread title of "I need to get some stuff off my chest" with an image of a pretty young women filling out the chest area of a t-shirt nicely, then the internet would be beating a path to your door.

[Emoji for mild sarcasm tinged with sadness rather than bitterness at the realities of the world required.]

Very good writing, though--mean that.
