Can we please get a temporary private forum to express unhappiness about Biden dropping out? [View all]

I don't want us to air our frustration and disappointment in public for the maggots to misuse.

But there are a number of DUers, loyal Democrats, who are sad, angry and grieving.

It does not help to be told to shut up, get with the program, put on a happy face, or be accused of being a troll, or being soft on fascism.

It certainly does not help for some to keep harping on our president being too old, too feeble, too incapable. Many of us love and respect our president, and are distressed to see these descriptions continue in public after he has bowed to the party leaders' will and withdrawn his candidacy.

We will come around, but some of us need a place to vent for a short time.

Thank you.

The fact that it would be TEMPORARY and PRIVATE Wicked Blue Jul 2024 #18
