(26,467 posts)1. the resident FUDders couldn't be more transparent today.
MineralMan
(146,284 posts)3. So it seems.
Panic time, I guess. Nothing like a SCOTUS decision to stir people up and get them thinking about activism. The defeatists can't have that, of course, so they're working overtime today.

(10,960 posts)2. What is FUD? (And can it be rucked?)
MineralMan
(146,284 posts)4. Normally, it's Fear Uncertainty and Doubt
Today, it's Fucked-Up Defeatism.
Same acronym, same spreaders, though.

and the horse packing its sorry ass.
MineralMan
(146,284 posts)6. Exactly.
Without the horse, defeatism and FUD don't travel.

(27,670 posts)7. Fuck defeatism indeed. Why are you trying to discourage protesting the McCutcheon decison?
MineralMan
(146,284 posts)8. I'm not trying to discourage anything, and you know it.
I'm trying to encourage something that can actually change things.
I'm all for protests. They'll help bring the issue to the forefront, so our GOTV efforts will be even more effective.
Have a nice day.

We mustn't give up.....we need to encourage each other now.
