18. No. Stop this bullshit of telling people to calm down.

Tue Nov 3, 2020, 11:00 PM

Nov 2020

People are individual and people are all different. Some react differently than others during stressful times.

And oh by the way, those of us on DU who were nagged about being skeptical of the polls and were concerned about a repeat of 2016 - well, I don’t think we look so out of touch right now, do we?

Don’t tell me to calm down. My life depends on this. People my age won’t survive another term of Trump.

Democrats need a little fire. If they had more of it, they might win.
