(2,872 posts)I remember once upon a time, when I was completely politically naive.. I didn't even realize how naive I was.. I was looking for information and like minded folks online and initially before finding this place I would frequent Huffpost & Politico.. now, back in those days before Obama got into office (2005/2006) the anti-Bush sentiment was prevalent - you'd get push back occasionally on both of those sites.. you would not get that here, this was such a great place and it influenced and informed me on a lot..
Now, I worry about new minds looking to get their political beaks wet (like myself many moons ago) and they come here & see all the Bernie bashing and gaslighting that leaning left is not the way to win, moderation is the path forward.. that is the prevailing message that goes uncontested if not pushed back upon..
Maybe I am worried about a non-issue, most younger folks these days are on twitter anyway...
