(12,444 posts)39. Frankly I don't think ANYTHING posted here can/will depress the vote.
This tiny section of the population here votes at around a 99.99% clip...
My theory is just that some people prefer DU to be a land of cotton candy clouds and hard candy rainbows and prefer others not to "harsh their buzz"...
Even if the harshness comes from telling the truth.
And that's not a bad thing... DU was formed as a peaceful respite from a REALLY bad time in US political history and one can't be blamed for wanting NOTHING to due with the Shrub or Trump years.
But that's just my theory.
YMMV.

No problem. I was trying to agree with YOU, and thought I might have been unclear.
