2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What Bernie said in June of this year about Black Lives Matter. Did the hecklers know? [View all]F4lconF16
(3,747 posts)This site is not the place for me. The people I respect are either silent, gone, or simply drowned out. There isn't a whole lot of empathy here. This BLM and Sanders thing has turned what could be a point of learning, compassion, respect, and understanding into a mud-slinging fight about hurt-feelings, white priorities, and a damaged candidacy.
Unfortunately, the admins have chosen a site that encourages it and have simply sailed on. Their experiment elsewhere and the radical success that was have told me all I need to know about this place. I wish I could at least spend time in the groups, but...they're rather clique-y, and I've never once felt a part of that in my life.
But I will check in occasionally for gems like this post and your shit-stirring one later. Love your gardener quote, btw. I'll be around, just...one of the many who no longer finds it worth my while to post. I'm one of the lucky ones who has ways to occupy my time on real-life pursuits, and I don't mean that as a slight to those who do participate here.
