Giddyup! EarthFirst Mar 12 #14

so the gaslighting reports which drove so many to drag their own party's legislators was false? bigtree Mar 12 #15

Probably not. Probably it was the thousands of phone calls to their legislators that changed the narrative Nanjeanne Mar 12 #17

Yep. n/t demmiblue Mar 12 #34

I'm not one who's inclined to doubt the party first bigtree Mar 12 #37

Yes we know you aren't. I don't think anyone doubts that. Nanjeanne Mar 12 #40

it's because I have time to pay attention to what our party is doing bigtree Mar 12 #45

Don't assume people who disagree w/you don't also have time to pay attention - cause many many do. They just dont agree. Nanjeanne Mar 12 #46

that hasn't been my observation. bigtree Mar 12 #59

Well you assume wrong as I say it and am very involved. But you do you and don't spend time assigning Nanjeanne Mar 12 #60

now, you know well I didn't attribute that to you bigtree Mar 12 #66
