(146,345 posts)We notice things, based on our personal opinions, and miss many other things.
There are some people posting about their frustration that not everything is going the way they think it should. Typically, such people have one particular issue they feel very strongly about, and if someone doesn't agree with them, they blow it all out of proportion in their posts.
However, there are always DUers who point out the reality to such people. There are also DUers who post regularly about positive actions and movements in a more progressive direction.
Manchin and Sinema, for example, have voted and will vote in alignment with the other Democrats in the Senate in the high 90% range. Some people forget that if either of them votes the "wrong" way on some favorite issue those people have. They pretend that those who vote differently than they want are against everything we stand for. It's simply not true.
Negativism is common on political discussion forums. However, so is the fact that others will step in and tell negative people that they are wrong.
