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.

Never waivers. Never.

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.

They do.

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.

Strong expression, intelligence, and skewering & roasting those who deserve it. She makes it worthwhile to be here.

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

I always know I'm in the right neighborhood when I see you around.

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.

My kind of DU poster. Reminds me somewhat of another friend like that.

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

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.

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.

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.

not act like kids.

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).

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

She fights the good fight, she continues to run the race, she has kept the faith.

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

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!)
