I am certain this will put some folks' knickers in a twist but, this close to watershed midterms,

[Atticus]

I don't see the need for any negative posts about any Democrat in any race on a Democratic board.

2. But we need to know we are in danger. So people get out and vote.

[blue neen]

8. We already know we're in danger and have known for quite some time.

We don't need it posted in our faces every second of every day.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. But positions change constantly

[blue neen]

11. Trump and Trumpists have not changed a bit.

Sorry, I don't buy it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Talking about polls which is what thought poster was

referring to. No argument on Trumpers.

[DENVERPOPS]

12. Many of us have been shouting from the rooftops

since 1979 when HWBush committed treason to get Reagan in office. Then there was the supreme court, with no authority whatever that stole the election from Gore by ruling in a "states" voting matter. And then there were the "swift boaters" in 2004 Along with the corrupted EIS/Diebold voting machines like in Ohio. And the follow up 2016 election where the Republicans joined forces with Putin to screw with the votes/voting........

We don't need to be dragging the dems down for any reason at this point...........It might be too late anyways.....

16. You're exactly right.

It's the same rotten people pulling these Republican dirty tricks...people like Roger Stone.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Well it's a new rule... Any mention or hint of a particular

Democrat being on the bad side of a poll is considered a negative post. Or sometimes it's considered bashing or trashing that Democrat. So may be best to just say that a particular Dem needs to win by much more than they will definitely win by already. Lol

3. I second that! nt

[BOSSHOG]

4. My knickers are in a twist

At the thought of any Republican winning any election anywhere

Hey Atticus, might you define “knickers in a twist” to the hepcats of the 21st century. I’m a fossil. I’m catching your wavelength.

[phoenix75]

5. Spot on!

👍

[Randomthought]

6. Totally agree

[wendyb-NC]

7. I agree 100%.

[mountain grammy]

14. I'm good with that.

10 days.

15. I don't see any NEED for any posts, period.

Very little of what is said on DU needs to be said. It's said because people want to express themselves.

Positive posts here, negative posts here... it's all a wash as to any actual effect on voter turnout. People who bother to be on DU are going to vote whether they are positive of victory or pessimistic about it.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

18. Are you saying DUers do not have "any actual effect on voter turnout"?

[Silent3]

19. The whole forum, whether people are being optimistic or pessimistic...

...encourages people to get out and vote, and do things that encourage non-DUers to get out and vote, like campaign work and contributions.

The optimism or pessimism of various posts, however, is a stupid thing to be worrying about for its supposed effect.
