"Something has changed"

[senz]

34. You seem to have misunderstood what I wrote.

1) I did not "disparage" JPR. Why would I do that? Nearly all of my favorite online people are members there, as am I. I joined back in December. I like everything I see there but am not wild about the software, which I find cumbersome and difficult to navigate. (Mind you, I'm old and a late adapter.)

I said that, to compete with DU for Democratic voter attention prior to the election, JPR would need to launch a massive public relations campaign to make sure people are even aware they exist. I don't see how that could happen prior to the end of the Democratic primaries. Therefore, I think people should try to be effective on this platform as long as we possibly can, at least prior to the primaries.

I am aware that Hill fans want to either silence us or get rid of us so they can fool Democratic voters into thinking we're all united behind the corporate DINO ( ). If they do get rid of us prior to the election, then it would behoove our cause to figure out a way to direct Democratic voters to JPR. Somehow. Same situation with Daily Kos.

2) I did not say that Bernie's candidacy is in direct conflict with the political revolution. I said that our immediate effort should be aimed at getting Bernie elected. I also said that we will proceed with the revolution whether or not he gets elected, as I'm sure Bernie himself would agree.

One last thing, very important to me: your comment sets me up as someone opposed to JPR. In case you can't figure it out, this is a highly damaging thing to do to me. It feels, to me, like an attempt to gain points with JPR at my expense. I hope my friends at JPR do not fall for it.
