Nance Rants and does it with a precision of a surgeon. Some don't like her much. That is sad because she is a voice to be reckoned with. She speaks the truth.
Love ya Nance.

(31,818 posts)She's also very good at pointing out what politicians themselves have said. It's not attacking a Democratic party member, official, or leader to point out someone who is progressive - but is adamant they are not a Democratic - has said they are not.

Several years ago, I was a nubie. I read Nances threads and loved her voice. She popped into the BOG one night , Cha had done a birthday thread for me. She wished me a happy birthday. It meant a lot to me, since I loved her posts yet did not really know her.I asked her why she stopped by the BOG...she said that she liked what I had to say.
One voice makes us strong.

I guess us uppity women just need to raise our voices a few more notches. Hell, This is the whole point right now. It is not JUST women. It is NOT just POC. It is NOT just LGBT. MUSLIMS. JEWS. IT is not just ONE of us they are coming after. They are coming for us all. POINT IS we fight this together. I have said this time and time again. We FIGHT it together or we die.
ONE VOICE. PERSIST. RESIST.

This appreciation thread is long overdue, and you're just the woman to do it, sheshe2.

(1,239 posts)There have been many outstanding posts that I look up to see NanceGreggs. More of recent I am half way thought when I guess it is NanceGreggs and wind up being more correct than not. A great liberal who can put things to words much better than I ever could. I would say she speaks for me.

He used to be chairman of the DNC. Some don't like him, either, and for the same reasons.

(22,236 posts)Yes she's a beloved fixture here on DU. However, anyone sitting on the fence such as many independents, or anyone living in the sticks, or any moderate republican who is thinking of becoming a Democrat would surely run in the other direction after reading one of her stereotypical rants, many of which blame THOSE people and paint them all as DUMB...and never point the finger at anything we might have done wrong ourselves.
Her rants might give you some much needed comfort after a shocking political loss to a sociopathic liar like Trump, but to anyone sitting on the fence, wondering where to turn, condescending rants like hers are often a complete turn-off. Sorry to rain on your parade.

(12,545 posts)In the face of Republican lies, Nance fights back. When dealing with sociopath Republicans there's no point in being polite. It is incumbent on normal people to stick their collective fingers in the faces of these ignorant bigots.
Trying to reason with a rattlesnake or Republican is akin to pissing into the wind.
How many times should we reach across the aisle only to pull back a bloody stump? Witnessing what happened to President Obama is all I need to know when it comes to talking to Republicans. As soon as someone tells me they watch Fox News the conversation is terminated. I'm too old to suffer fools.
Moderate Republicans? Yeah right.
mtnsnake
(22,236 posts)I was talking about all the other people out there who read her rants, whether they read them on DU as lurkers or whether they read them on any other sites where the rants can be seen.

People aren't that simple, either. Look how insulting Orange Idiot is and yet gets support from people he insults.
Some people need a good hiding (figuratively).
The Wizard
(12,545 posts)and one of the people who attracted me here. She's also a FB friend and someone of whom I share posts liberally. She knows what's on my mind and express herself with confidence an alacrity. Thanks Nance for enhancing DU and all like minded normal people who share the Zeitgeist.

When I see Nance as the OP poster, I automatically click on it. I love good writing and I'd read her for that alone, but I also often learn something new from reading her posts.
Thanks for this thread, sheshe
to you and Nance!

She doesn't have an easy track to run but she is undeterred and it helps others keep going.

(15,801 posts)that I'm on DU. Followed a link where she was quoted, and it brought me here. And it was her voice that encouraged my participation beyond responding to threads. It always feels more like home when she posts. Always.
Thanks, Nance!
(And thanks to YOU, sheshe2, for this thread!)
