1. Agree

And - it's very easy to touch a nerve there.

2. DU is a place for them not us

I will leave it.

4. I have started and deleted 3 replies

Consider just going quiet, I have taken breaks myself.

What ever you choose, may your journey lead you to good things

6. I am used to guarded speak

I know the venue and I stay within its boundaries. When I get sick of the whining I put myself in my room.

3. I just commented on a post

where there was some typical DU pile-on (we may be referencing the same). Can't stand some of the arrogance and lack of sympathy here. But I remind myself that some are open and here to listen/learn. I try to also be as receptive.

5. We most likely are

But I also see DU as a cross section of the problems inherent in the Democratic Party.

We can pinpoint the thinking and 'fear of radical change' - things like Equal Pay for All, Equal Opportunity to Finance (Mortgages, Small Business Loans) that make non-minority Democratics freeze.

The smartest thing Harris did was hide reparations in home as wealth building in her platform. We need leaders/politicians that can do 'sneaky' things to get one over on the general population.

7. White speak about Jasmine

I heard she’s out there, we can’t win either we’re not forceful enough like Hakeem or we’re obsessed by our grievances like Jasmine. Something about angry black woman.

8. "hide reparations in home as wealth building"

She definitely did do a good job hiding it since it didn't see it as such 'til now.

9. That woman...well that woman is freaking a goldmine

10. I sent a DM asking EarlG to reconsider his the flagged for review

On Sunnyskies801 it really reads to me as a dogpile.
