282. SO VERY TRUE TINOIRE!!
You have hit the nail right on the head!
This is about us and how we are reacting to it!

I recently joined this forum and because I refuted several points and did not go along with the "She can't feel anything" line (because I never think or say I know how another feels as pain is a subjective experience) I have been called names--whore--for one and have had various other inaccurate accusations hurled at me.

I really think this is germane to the reason why the Dems are not connecting with the general public these days. For one example it used to be that the disabled could trust the dems to at least listen to their points of view and take them to heart. Yet in one of the threads someone here posted a response that they thought someone should just put "a bullet through her head" (like killing a horse). I clicked on the alert button and now that post is not available to recall.
Its those antisocial responses that will do much harm to the Dems and the Dems will be the losers--I guarantee it.
