29. The sad and puzzling thing, to me, is that there are some posters

Oct 2016

who now post at JPR - at least one still posts here - who I did respect. They seem like decent people and I haven't seen them participate in the worst nonsense over there, so maybe they are just hoping to be a positive influence? (Too pollyannish of me?) Not that I spend much time there anymore (and never got an account myself, WAY too much sewage there). I did check it out at the time of the "mass migration" and then occasionally since, just to see if anything's changing. I can understand some people being disappointed in certain of Hillary's policies, and wanting to discuss more radical solutions - but that doesn't justify the vitriol, or the supporting Trump. I support Hillary in this election despite my disagreement with her on some things, because face it, there isn't any one that I would agree with 100%, and she is at least a reasonable option as a leader of the country, and liberal enough in many areas.
