I am going to vote for Pete in our CA primary, but I am going back to undecided here on DU and I am

leaving the Primary section. It is simply too toxic, I am being alert stalked and harassed by some of the leading candidates's supporters (hint, not Warren people) and it just isn't healthy for me mentally anymore. I am a tremendously upbeat and dynamic person in real life, but more and more I feel a darkness coming over my countenance and inner core when I log in and start to interact in the Dem Primaries section here.

I am mentally and emotionally exhausted from having to try and attempt to correct the myriad number of spun up false attacks on Buttigieg, very often by accounts that so appear to be simply burner sock puppets, as well as the ultra dodgy, Dem-bashing far left press and their rotters in Tweetland, other social media, and various shitty little corners of the net. It boggles my mind that some of these sites and POS Twitter trolls are allowed to be posted here with impunity. A special big FUCK YOU to TYT btw. What an absolute poisoned chalice of disnfo and divide et impera bollocks that utter bawbag of a site is.


Anyway, with that I leave you all to fight the good fight and GO PETE!!!!

cheers,

Cel

We'll miss you. I understand you've gotta do what you've gotta do, but our Buttigieg group will be poorer without you.

But I sure do understand. You have definitely fought the good fight, with facts and a grasp of history that leaves me in the dust.

Your mental health is supremely important and I want you to take care of yourself above all else.

I am now becoming involved with a group out in the 'real' world where I will have an impact on the political process.

I hold you in my heart and my thoughts, dear Cel...

with groups in the real world. That takes up a lot of my time, and it is worth it.
