Since you’re not recommending this forum, what forums on FACEBOOK do you like?
Please don't misunderstand - I do recommend CFI Forum - the only real problem with it is the same one that our country and government is suffering from. TOO FEW INFORMED AND ENGAGED CITIZENS!
I was simply curious if someone knew of something comparable but with more active and interesting participants. Guess there must not be any.
And for all the people that pop in and say hello, why do we never heard from them again, what up??
Has every one developed such a thin insecure skin that genuine constructive dialogue is impossible???
I've been watching collective apathy increasing these past 50 years - and as soon as someone speaks up, there's right wing asshole ready to ruthlessly poking at 'em with a half dozen tactic that seem to work like a magic charm - who wants to deal with it. Lets just leave the room.
Behold the world of 2020 the fruits of our collective apathy.
Democrats rolled over and allowed Gore's Presidency to be ripped away as though this were a f'n football game and Americans said oh well - it's all a game anyways. What does it matter. Well we found out how much it mattered
Cheney Bush - turning a blind eye and invited terror - then they got the surprise of their lives, but once the shock wore off they knew exactly what to do, Shock'n Awe, war profiteering and power grabs like never before.
and still no massive consolidation of rational, liberal, humane principles.
Obama pulls off the impossible, then turns out to an excellent President and as for Presidential Performance he's as grand and positive as they get.
But, then totally failed at the ground work to consolidate the notoriously fickled Hollywood eating liberal public. To really rub in the salt the DNC decides on Hilary the most divisive political figure of our age.
Then she can't figure out how to talk with the American people - it's like she went out of her way to make herself more unlikeable. Who cared it's only a game.
Never being able to explain what a loser and waiting disaster that trump narcissistic government hating bully Donald Trump was.
Then standing around for a year with thumbs up their asses while the Republicans refused to fill the Supreme Court vacancy and we f'n stood by and saved our grand public demonstration for after the damned ink was dry and all was lost.
Kavanaugh, I mean really not being able to enunciate that there is nothing wrong with loving Beer but that our Supreme Court of the nation was no place for an angry passionate partisan with low moral standards too boot.
And all the while the nation's people well 90% standing by silently normalizing every one of the vicious dirty tricks.
Well that turned into quite the ramble. It's just I get so pissed at people always pointing the figure at others - it's we our collective rational, progressive community who have stood by silently, and lost all these battles. Where were the citizen organizing and pushing there politicians i mean masses of them, Then we blame the politicians for being wet noodles.
It takes every one of us, and too may rather stand by. and it seems there aren't any other decent discussion forums out there. So that means there just might could maybe possibly be something wrong with the entire community.
The moral don't blame CFI Forum, ask ourselves ...

As for Facebook, it's just doesn't seem to make sense to me, seems like a display thing, a kiosk, but no place for dialogue, it never seems to catch my attention.
