The right wing doesn't fight fair online. They want to stifle not just a free discussion of the


issues here on the forum, but they also want to stifle people's brains from being nimble, informed, intelligent and filled with all the emotion that makes us human. That is what you are feeling. Call it the Great 2016 Shut Down. Trolls try it on the DU but get booted off pretty quick. It is meant to keep us from being fired up come election time. I noticed it right away on the DI. Whatever idea you post gets shut down immediately. The Koch brothers and others are spending millions on having trolls do that throughout the internet. Personally I think the money would do better if it went to someone's healthcare or a new bridge or something. As the election nears they are just going to have to hire more people to shut us down. In the millions. And all so that they can continue to poison the planet and not pay taxes, for more money than they or their children or their children's children could not possibly spend in their lifetimes... even if the hoard all the drugs that will keep them all alive until they are 120. The trick on the internet is to post what you feel, then skim over the answers and skip the Great GOP 2016 Shut Down responses and pay attention to the others. There are some truly great people online who are honest issue surfers and want to connect. Honest people on both sides of the isle. Just disregard the rest. And don't let them ruin your experience of the world and try to un-actualize you. Your voice is important.
