Maybe I am wrong here, perhaps out of line, but isn't this forum called Grassroots Central? Why are there more threads in this forum that are
Chicken Littles saying the sky is falling,
People making suggestions for the official campaign (we're grassroots, remember),
Conspiracy theories,
Whining about the MSM,
Saying a certain demographic / group is impossible to get so we shouldn't try,
and General impotence inducing threads
than there are threads that
Suggest methods for improving results for the grassroots,
Calls to action for the grassroots,
Reminders about important actions that need attention by the grassroots,
Morale boosters to encourage continued efforts,
and Get out the vote proposals?
It seems like whining about the MSM should go in bad media forum, conspiracy theories in politics or hot topics forums, suggestions for the official campaign should go in the official campaign forum, general impotence inducing threads should become bloggers and chicken littles trying to bust morale should talk to a wall.
It would really be nice if you can go to this forum and only see things meant to HELP the grassroots effort. I realize there is a lot of hypocrisy in this post, but seriously I see more people spending time in useless threads than ones with important useful information. Please think about the proper forum to put your thread in.
For example, if you want to complain that the MSM will ignore an Iowa victory, there is the bad reporting forum. Posting it in Grassroots Central helps nothing. No positive action can be spurred by it. Consider the implications of your posts.
Another example, asking how we are polling in a certain state does not help the grassroots movement. There is no point in it being in Grassroots Central if no positive effect can be gathered from the thread.
A grassroots movement shouldn't be a bunch of can't do's, it should be can do's. It should be action people, not people who trash action people. Is your post can do or can't do? Consider that when choosing which forum to put it in.
Thank you, now destroy me.
