What are you talking about? All the "libtards" (and why are you using that term?) I know desperately cast their votes, praying that the orange menace would never come near the White House. Please adjust both your attitude and your terminology. Thank you.

He deliberately uses loaded terms. But I think he's talking about the very on-line Left that was talking about "Killary" and the Jill Stein voters.

Not being a schoolmarm here. You can use the words you want but I think you are smart enough to know there was going to be some blowback. When you co-opt a term used by the brain-dead hard right, the casual reader will likely misunderstand your meaning/intent/target.

I kind of like your pattern of speech, shows intensity. Do sometimes come up blank on the acronyms, though. And the Bulwark is FOR debate or engagement, after all.

I am 71 years old. I have voted Dem in every election since I became eligible. I campaigned for Carl Stokes and was Clean for Gene. I endured the horrors of May 4th from behind my Kent State dorm. I worked as a critical care RN and raised 2 beautiful citizens. I am not a schoolmarm: I am an informed woman who treats others with respect and expects the same.

I'm a few months shy of my 70th birthday, and I'm here to tell you that it's never too late. Hard, maybe, but well worth the effort. Please give it a try.

I thank you for clarifying, but there is a difference between "too late to learn anything new" and "I"m happy the way I am." If the latter is in fact the case, then OK. You do you.

Sometimes it helps to at least try to read the room, but I guess that depends on what one wants to accomplish.
