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.
