I liked it better back in the Obama days when we'd all be worried about something and raising a ruckus and then Obama and his team would dial it back in and make the right move.
Seems like now on the DU we are more supposed to just cheer lead. I understand that in part due to the trolls trying to sew discord but makes it a bit less interesting to me.

OP
I love how it's "nasty" to ask that a person actually do something to help the Clinton campaign.

Thank you for providing an example of what I am talking about - a very nasty reply by you.

Again you lied about a DU member. You claimed I admit I do not volunteer for the campaign. LIE!

You are accusing people of things you have no proof of. Most of us are doing things that we don't

Is it possible that the problem is candidates tactics and policy positions rather than progressives

I think our media is SHIT. There are facts. The facts should be the stories.

I don't really understand it either and, hell, I even agree that some people are doing so

Is this is rhetorical question? Over the last month Clinton's line goes down and Trump's goes up.

Yes. People who just ignore the polls seem ignorant. However ignorance is bliss.

Since the intent is to make other DUers depressed, no quarter will be offered.
