No matter how Bernie adjusts his message, it won't be enough. Not ever.

178. You got it doc. Primary season is a marathon and not a sprint.

And it can get rough - but before getting too upset think about where we are.

The internet. Try not to get virtual tunnel vision. Chill and relax. Don't despair. The important part is the OP. And the # of reccs.

DU is one of my homepages. And every single day I notice that there are at least 4 or 5 POSITIVE fact based Bernie OP's on the Greatest Threads or Trending Now sections. Hillary OP's not so much - maybe 1 or 2 over the coarse of a day. And I stay away from the negative ones without any real facts about any Democratic candidate.

IMHO the comments are largely interesting to policy wonks and hard core bloggers - not so much Jose and Janet Sixpack, who probably have never heard of DU. As a long time lurker - 11 years and counting - who only posts occasionally but lurks almost every single day, I in general stay out of the deep end of the comment section but when I do stick my toes in I can usually identify those commenters who have an ax to grind or are there to disrupt, with ease, as I imagine most here can. And I give their posts due consideration (or in extreme cases the ignore button for those with obnoxious ADHD who are there only to derail topics).

Mostly I post occasionally to support those posters I agree with to reinforce support for them, but usually I sit back, ingest facts and enjoy the popcorn.



Cheers! Fight the good fight assertively yet respectfully - whatever you believe it is - remember all liberals and progressives need to be on the same side in the end (despite what the oligarchs think) and post accordingly, and Have a wonderful day!
