I found this site back in 2008 And it kept me going through the campaigns, the election and I thought I found a home. 2012 not so much – I worried was called a concern troll, accused of writing lame diaries - all of which were likely true .

I’m a worrier I can’t help it. Ask anybody who knows me.

As we came into this cycle, I worried even more - trends seemed not as blue as polls showed, and many activists showed concern about these trends.So diaries I wrote over this past cycle got the same treatment As before -I was ridiculed, belittled etc. So I deleted them all pretty much.

The first campaign I worked on seriously was for McGovern so I’m used to fighting the good fight and not winning. But this site is just full of hype full of actual hype.

It grieves me to say this site is full of it, but it’s no better than Fox News. Except for the actual good news postings, you run up stories to get people excited that we’re going to win and in fact we never do. Saying “act like we’re 10 points down” actually energizes a lot of people and you refuse to take any comments or thoughts from someone who feels this way. So I’m really done this time. I hope the title gets me kicked off the site.

Twitter featured a video of TRU@P and now it’s gone

I’m glad I had a witness or else I’d worry I was going crazy. I was just on Twitter and the Twitterverse was a buzz with a clip of the video and 45 in his Michigan rally with the following lines “25 Th amendment, so three weeks in, Joe’s shot, Kamala are you ready?”

I and many others couldn’t believe our eyes and ears. Apologist said he was just saying “shot as in tired” but we all knew what he meant. My husband watched it with me and we just shook our heads.

Went back to Twitter a few minutes later and the video and all the commentary is gone. It hasn’t been shown anywhere else that I’ve seen although one report quoted it without any video. Did anyone else see this?
