(36,437 posts)election work. This statement is, in my interpretation, a terms of service violation at election time, though I'm sure others would see it differently:
"I'm not urging any specific action, because there is nothing we can really do about it."
I mean, are you kidding me? In the last three-plus weeks of a tied election, this poster is suggesting that the actual, ground work of doing ELECTIONS is useless? That's not just commentary; that's insane and aggressive and unjustifiable discouragement of voter participation in the election. What is its purpose? What is the purpose of saying that? Is it just information? This is, by the way, the second or third poster who has decided to include precisely that kind of language.
I respect your posts a great deal, dennis, but you're just wrong here. There's no reason to make that statement other than suppression of volunteer activities - volunteer activities that we desperately need. We need to fight. This moves beyond commentary to a TOS violation, in my book, and I would even consider PPRing the OP for that, or a temporary time out. I know, I know. Lucky I'm not on MIRT team. But that statement is ridiculous and abusive.
