Laffy👏🏻👏🏻Politico: #Ohio Sen. #SherrodBrown raised $6.6 million in the last three months — a huge sum which will be critical in his challenging reelection campaign.
2/ Watch my Debbie Downers tell me that Brown is just *saying* he raised a ton of money to pander to voters. 🙄

I must say, after the nonsense on the Hell Site, I block a lot more.
I don't expect people to agree with me on everything, but if they start pissing on parade I just don't have the patience for it anymore. I am old, achy and cranky these days...

Sune AukenHard agree.
I teach this as a basic principle in climate communication: Doomism is the new Denialism.
Why? Because denialism told you that action is pointless because there isn't a problem while doomism tells you that action is pointless because all is lost anyway. The "action is pointless" is the common denominator - and very often the point.

Republicans and Russians go heavy on a messaging strategy to amplify "futility feelings".

A #MastoFriend of mine, I believe it was @pcsoblahdeehell, said to me that he always considers people shouting "all is lost" to be false flag accounts or deluded to the point of being as bad as them.
(or something along those lines; I'm quoting from memory)
Peter Shaw@SuneAuken @Npars01 @MichelleRNCHPN @GottaLaff - Oof no, I didn't say that. I can't recall the context of what I might have said, if I said anything at all. In certain circumstances, I would agree, it would be logical to expect the phenomenon of an "agent démotivateur" - so to speak, the opposite of the more conventional "agent provocateur". To sap the energy & morale of people of better faith. The Lord Hawhaw type, only posing as "one of us". I can't point at any current case, however.

Well, I remembered something sensible and attributed it to you somehow. Must mean that I take you to be sensible.
Beyond that, I'm sorry for the misattribution.
@SuneAuken @Npars01 @MichelleRNCHPN @GottaLaff - I can't recall what I may have said, sensible or otherwise!
