2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Can DU members show concern about Hillary's narrowing poll lead without being called a troll? [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)47. Hillary is way ahead
and negative people just can't stand it. This could be the biggest blowout ever. But let's don't enjoy it! Let's worry and concern and try to get everyone else uncertain and uncomfortable!
We want to be encouraged and downers make everything gloomy. That's why people don't like it.
Some people just aren't negative all the time and don't like it when negative people want to bring them down.
In 2008 and 2012 there were posts just like yours and all the posts of people who do nothing but criticize the campaign and worry and tell us how concerned they are and down our candidate and his/her actions as going to wreck it all, etc. So boring.

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

And some of those posts were from those who have publicly stated they won't vote

I don't know what media you are talking about, but I have not had the same experience

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.
