In reply to the discussion: What Is Happening At DU [View all]TBF
(37,077 posts)and come to it mostly for news and to see what is going on with electoral politics. It has been a transition through the years as we are now turning off "mainstream media" outlets, given that they've been bought out by billionaires. In terms of electoral politics, we are at a place right now where the conventional wisdom of the party seems to be just sit tight and let Trump cook (basically, let him blow up things & we'll vote him out when elections come and clean up the mess). That approach has become extremely stressful as Trump escalates, so it's no wonder you feel out of sorts. But I'm also not saying it's the wrong approach. As to why you're not seeing more thoughtful OP's about various positions is that most of what Trump says and does makes no sense. There's really not much to debate - we can all see he is creating chaos to enrich himself, avoid Epstein issues, and keep himself out of jail.
Probably one of the best places you could look for interesting analysis outside of DU is the Indy writers of Substack, where comment sections run the gamut. If you find interesting things there, you could consider bringing them here for additional comment.
