I give up.

[sheshe2]

After a convention of love, hope and inspiration...We only see a hate fest.

I tried here...in the Hill group. No one responded.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107176366

You all want to focus on the hateful GOP, a party that is in their death throes go for it. I want to focus on Hillary and our way forward.





To me. It is black and white.

[Aristus]

1. Don't give up, sheshe2. I'm with you.

And I'm with her! H--->

[sheshe2]

2. I know you are.

Love you Aristus.

I have no clue why Hill posts are sinking. She should be our focus.

Attack that maggot, yes indeed. Yet Hill should be at the top of the page not Donnie.

[Aristus]

4. Love you more...

It will stabilize down the road a little. Trump is a loose cannon; an attention-seeker. And he's getting it.

I'm reminded of the ancient Chinese curse; the one that doesn't sound like a curse until you think about it for a minute: "May you live in interesting times."

Trump is the reason we live in interesting times. And what a curse he is!

He's overshadowing what should be a progressive, transformative moment in American history: a woman is a major party candidate for the Presidency. And she's highly favored to win.

There will be more attention focussed on Trump in the weeks ahead; whatever goes on with the debates, the musings over the possibility of an October Surprise, the home stretch of the general.

When Hillary wins, Trump will fade like a photo in strong sunlight.

[sheshe2]

33. You are such a sweet friend.

Everything you say is true.

Bottom line, she has this. I know this, I do. I knew it with Obama and I know this now, I am just a little cray cray right now.

[Kath1]

3. You make an excellent point, she.

I find the hate of Trump a total turn-off and don't even want to think about it. I loved watching the DNC.

We have an excellent candidate with a positive message and that is my focus. Not Trump or the Republicans.

[sheshe2]

6. This! This should be our focus,

Chants of ‘Black Lives Matter’ at Democratic Convention After Trayvon Martin’s Mother Calls for Gun Control



his mommy~


Democrats support both police and Black Lives Matter movement

Mothers of killed black men and women brought a lot of tears to a lot of eyes at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday as they called for peace between police and the communities they protect and serve — and for protecting black lives.


In the supposed divide between the Black Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter movements, Republicans at their convention last week focused on the second two — not the first. Democrats tried to stress unity as many in the audience chanted “Black Lives Matter.”

“This isn’t about being politically correct,” said Trayvon Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton. “This is about saving our children.”

[Kath1]

13. Right on.

Very moving. And Hillary is serious about gun control.

[sheshe2]

14. She's got it!

[Kath1]

18. Yes, she does.

So many excellent moments at the DNC. I thought it was beautiful. A lot of it very moving and inspiring.

Donald who?

[sheshe2]

29. Guess what...

I fell asleep before her acceptance speech. I missed it. I spent 24 hours in two days taking care of my mom. I missed it, I fell asleep on the sofa. Sigh~

[fleabiscuit]

5. Agreed. I got hunkered down in protection mode. Time to wake up.

[sheshe2]

7. Thanks for your support or not.

[Cary]

8. I am with her.

[sheshe2]

9. Thank you Cary.

[Ellen Forradalom]

10. I posted a testimonial about Senator Clinton in GD2016

It was a powerful Facebook post by James Grissom that went viral and attracted a horde of haters as well as supporters. It was a very positive story.

[sheshe2]

11. Please give us a link.

I would love to read it, Ellen.

[Ellen Forradalom]

25. Here you go

https://m.facebook.com/james.grissom/posts/10210311889333429

It's gone viral. Spread far and wide.

[sheshe2]

26. Thank you!

[sheshe2]

48. Thanks, Ellen!

I'll go take a look.

[johnp3907]

12. I'm with her and she!

[sheshe2]

16. Love you...

Thanks John!

[Thinkingabout]

15. We have lots of work to get to the GE, we was given many good stories about Hillary's life,

She listened, then she sets a plan of action. We will be rewarded for her work.

The RW liars are still promoting lies, I am going to make a list and as the RWers tells me another lie promoted by FOX I want to be ready to counteract. Like the Paul Manafort lie about ISIS starting in 2009, actually they worked with the insurgence in Iraq after Bush invaded Iraq in March 2003 and officially formed in October 2003, Bush was president.

[DemonGoddess]

17. I've been posting

positives on FB, hoping to counteract the garbage I see spewed there daily. Hopefully even convert a person or two!

[SharonClark]

19. I'm sorry you feel this way, it is just so much fun to share

anti Trump OPs.

[sheshe2]

21. Actually our future is at stake.

Ours and our children's, I find nothing amusing about it.

[TwilightZone]

20. I can't speak for everyone else, but I haven't been spending much time here since the rule changes.

GD became much more palatable after the rule changes, and we're (ostensibly) all supposed to be Hillary supporters now, so I've been spending most of my time in the main forums.

As for your message, it's spot on. The convention was remarkable, and there were a lot of very positive posts in GD and GD'16 every day it was on, as well as the days following.

As for the focus on the GOP, it's kind of human nature. They're the opposition and they do so much stupid shit that it's difficult to not pay a lot of attention to that. You're right in that we should prefer to focus on the positives -- even a better balance between the positive and negative would certainly be nice.

Short version: I get ya. lol

[sheshe2]

22. We need both.

The good is falling away. I only see the anger now. We are better than just the anger. We saw hope at the convention. Four days of hope.

I kid you not, I am almost done in by Trump ruling the board.

We need to see the light.

[TwilightZone]

47. Yeah, I understand that.

I don't spend much time in the Trump threads. It's gotten to the point that he's so repetitively offensive that nothing he does really surprises me anymore, so I'm more resigned to the fact that he and roughly 40% of the country are nuts than angry about it. I think many still can't quite reconcile how we got here with Trump. It's kind of mind-boggling, and I think that's part of why it gets so much of the focus.

The media has also done a nice job of dragging the election down to Trump's level, i.e. everyone hates everything and everyone. But there are so many positives on the Hillary side that we need to focus on them whenever possible, and she (and we) is the only thing standing in the way of a Trump presidency.

[shenmue]

23. Don't give up

U gives me a Sad.

[sheshe2]

24. I am tired.

Tired of fighting the bad guys. Also tired of our teams focus on Trump and not Hill.

I want to talk about us and not that piece of shit.

Hey, I sorry Shenmue.

[still_one]

27. Terrific OP sheshe

[sheshe2]

28. Thank you still_one.

[radical noodle]

30. I'd like to focus on that too

Trump is so disturbing it's stressful. I'm with you and her.

[sheshe2]

31. Agreed, radical noodle.

Thank you so much. WE are going to do this!

We are!

[radical noodle]

32. Yes we are!

I saw a rally today somewhere in Ohio (on C-Span) and the people there were so enthusiastic... so excited to meet her. It was wonderful seeing her walking by people shaking hands, giving hugs, listening to kids, getting her picture taken with so many. She was so warm and gracious. I think anyone who sees her in person would have to love her.

[sheshe2]

35. Boom!

I love it!



We will rock you~

[Cha]

34. Don't give up... there's lot of these pics and stories of Hillary in GD2016, too!

Thank you for posting them in Hillary's Group.

I post so late at night that there's not too many around to see them in Hill's Gr... so I've been posting in GD2016.. It's just really nice to be there without getting attacked by anyone.

Right this minute I am focusing on Gold Star Mother, Ghazala Khan and her husband Khizr..

[sheshe2]

36. My Favs?

50. More of us are with you

than aren't! Please don't give up!

[sheshe2]

51. Hey, Blue....

I'm not going anywhere. We have an election to win and we will do it together.

[postatomic]

52. I agree

I mean, what can be said about the Orange Blob that hasn't been said? I think anyone with more than one brain cell can see this 'thing' for what it is and nothing posted on DU is going to change the minds of the one brain cell crowd. Let the faux micro-journalists take on the Orange Blob.

I feel so damn good about having Hillary represent my party. What's that saying about how many muscles it takes to frown versus smiling. Well, fuck it. I'm smiling. Giving my face a work out.

[sheshe2]

53. Hey you..

I am smiling too.

We got this postatomic. We do.

[OKNancy]

54. Do your thing and I'll do mine

because nothing is more fun or important than trashing Donald Trump.
He is a menace and needs every bit of "hate" we can throw his way.
His lies and nasty behavior needs to be called out at every turn.
Our future depends on it. He has to lose this election!!

[skylucy]

55. I have to agree with you OKNancy. I love Hillary. Her book "It Takes a Village"

has an honored place on my bookshelf. I have a Hillary bumper sticker on my car. I have admired her for years and know that she is not what the nasty GOPers have smeared her to be. I tell my friends why they need to love her too and vote for her in November. That said....I thoroughly enjoy every OP etc. that trashes Trump! And when CNN and MSNBC run segments like "Is Trump certifiably insane or does he just have a severe personality disorder?"...I love that too. Studies have shown (whether we like it or not) that negative ads are very effective. So I say KEEP EM COMING!

HILLARY/KAINE 2016 TRASH TRUMP

[Iamaartist]

56. I agree skylucy

Its been quite here nobody is trashing any (R) party we have to do both in order to keep him from winning Dump Trump also......seems a lot people left here that where here.....
