Can I ask a favor of DU?

[ffr]

I realize we're all feeling empowered by all the positive things happening within the political environment tonight, that we're big enough and strong enough to wage many battles across all fronts, but at this pivotal moment in our nation's history as our democratic party is figuratively steaming into position to do battle with demonic well-connected political forces on the right, that...

tonight is not the right time to splinter our party and divert focus. PLEASE, we somehow managed to fuck it up in 2016 and look where it got us.

Stick together and we win together.

When the dust settles and hopefully tRump's shadow government deep state is neutralized and the threat has diminished, I'm all for looking at how we've wronged this person or demographic. But unless YOU are willing to take responsibility for losing not only your current battle, by splintering the party TONIGHT OF ALL NIGHTS, but also the larger impeachment battle to come, I would like to ask that you please

PLEASE

...put your divisive agenda on the backburner so that we can focus on winning this upcoming major battle.

All hands on deck.

1. I'm with you

We can't take our eyes off the ball.

[Skittles]

2. injustice needs to be called out

*IMMEDIATELY*

that is not a "divisive agenda"

that is what Progressives SHOULD be doing

[ecstatic]

3. Damn. What did I miss?

[Skittles]

4. "now is not the time"

you know how it never seems to ever be a "good time" for some things

[leftstreet]

5. What 'divisive agenda' are you talking about?

[Skittles]

6. calling out CNN for whitewashing

https://bossip.com/1793433/cnn-whitewashes-impeachment-leaders/

I think it is EGREGIOUS and now IS the time to call them on it

[leftstreet]

7. +1

I forgot about that thread

8. I am a huge fan of Maxine Waters

she had had Trump's number from the start - she has worked VERY HARD telling it like it is for some time now - to see her just glossed over - it's not right - fuck that noise

[ffr]

9. Red Herring fallacy. I never said glossed over, you said glossed over. In case you missed it.

Maxine Waters Says Mike Pence And The Attorney General Were Involved In The Ukraine "Conspiracy"

“So I’m looking forward to that coming out in the hearings that will be done by the Judiciary Committee"

Mmmmm. Delicious.

Truce?

10. this is NOT a divisive agenda

stuff like this can NEVER be overlooked - it's wrong

CNN should rightfully be called out on its whitewashing - it's just plain wrong

over and OUT

[ffr]

12. I agree with that assessment completely. You are correct. Fuck CNN!

One of the ones I was seeing as divisive in GD, without naming anmes was referring to this:

What the actual fuck is this whitewashing? “Leaders on impeachment” were @RepMaxineWaters, @RashidaTlaib, @AOC & @IlhanMN. And they were treated as inconvenient troublemakers by Dem leadership

14. It's not divisive to tell the truth

And the bolded part is 100% true.

[sheshe2]

16. It is not true.

18. Yes it is, bolded or not.

13. Bossip is a Gossip and Entertainment Magazine.

Period.

11. This is kind of the bed we made. Anything to do with race (even inter-party) takes priority.

I despise the damage to our party such division causes, but it's kind of the party we've chosen to be. That train left the station a long time ago.

[GulfCoast66]

15. WTF?

I guess it is some DU thing. Probably coming over from primary page, but could be wrong.

Always remember this fact. DU is a place for real Democratic partisan to bullshit with each other. I and many others love it

Never think it reflects the Democratic Party voters as a whole. Not even close. A huge majority Democratic voters have never even heard of the sight.

[ffr]

17. DU's reach is broader, sometimes referenced by news organizations or duplicated

from what I've seen over the years. Not a lot, but it shows that there's an audience broader than just our members and a reach that goes far far beyond.

What Is Posted on DU Doesn't Stay on DU. (isn't isolated to just DU)

20. A very good reminder.

19. Thank you, ffr!

22. I also must point out that....

It is difficult to 'fuck up' a rigged election, even when the numbers show the popular vote went against him. Having said that, I agree that we need to be unified in our approach to anything that corrects this listing ship. As long as it is done with THAT agenda in mind. I agree with what you are saying. However, I will not stand by and have the attempt corrupted by the very thing you are calling on us to put aside. And, there are plenty of those agendas masquerading as support for the main attempt, in the hope that they can squeeze in under the radar. Yes, it is time for action and time for unity. However, it is NEVER time to subvert one effort at correction into just another power grab. Agreed?
