A very well loved and important du member has announced leaving our community

Citing big number of what I call anti President Biden posts that are over our site.

Dude management, please post a banner alerting the members, no anti President Biden posts will be allowed.

I've seen and alerted on lifts of posts that have turned my stomach.
Why is this happening. I think these negatively is gonna tear us apart. I continue to see this bad stuff.
My heart is so heavy now.

I kinda don't even recognize this place this week.

Are a bunch of easily discouraged children.
They are so myopic they don't understand or see the damage they are causing.
Anyone calling for Joe to step down is willing to hand the election to trump.
Even if Joe was so inclined to step down, which I hope he is not, there is no time for some other person to start a run with any chance of winning. So you better buckle up buttercup because Joe is here to stay and is the only person who can beat trump.

Think. Again.

...I feel that to preserve free speech on the site, the rule of banning negative posts about a candidate should stay as it is, which is only enforced once the candidate is the official nominee.

Until then, I think it's a important to allow opposing views in case those of us who are strongly pro-Biden do happen to overlook some important aspect of our decision, but fair warning, some of us can be VERY strong in our loyalty, so if anyone is gonna try to talk us out of our support, they had better come with some very solid reasoning, or don't try at all.

ONLY JOE has the track record of positive achievement, compassionate but forceful leadership, and team-building in order to win, preserve, protect and advance democracy, and stop fascism in its tracks.

No other can win the nomination.
JOE'S THE NOMINEE

The trolls are nothing new.
We young folks (I'm 75) have sharp memories.



Same Putrid Putin Powered Propaganda Poop.
