Reply #11: Good point. But I'm actually more worried about the over-optimistic people. [View All]

Not just on DU, but the population in general. I'm scared witless that people will see the trend of Dems being ahead and think their vote and their help in getting others to vote isn't so important anymore.

As for "concern trolls," yeah, they get me down sometimes. I'll see some good news on a thread and it makes me want to post a happy bounce :bounce: but then someone will post a real downer about Diebold, or Rove and other wily nefarious Repubs, or some other such doom-and-gloom. I'm learning to pass those by, but I've been wondering why the hell they're so prolific on DU. We're here to support each other and make our "dreams" come true, not shoot them down. A positive attitude is the best thing to create the energy to get out there and rally the people.
