We are a divided country in most every respect, what makes Freepers think this will not reveal itself also on this site....it's a time to choose...it's that simple. We're old enough to have seen several elections and this Primary was as no other...so too will be the general election. Lines are being drawn pretty much everywhere....understanding the times we are in is important to understanding why these lines are being drawn.......

Why should FR not also take their stand and for that matter "Strengthen Their Position?"

Why should FR not also take their stand and for that matter "Strengthen Their Position?"

Because it is divisive and exclusionary, and I struggle to understand how that position helps the country, or Free Republic.

I understand Jim's views. I also understand that FR belongs to Jim, and it is up to him where he takes it.

I would find it helpful to have some insight into the plan though, because I just don't understand it. What outcome does FR want for the election, and what outcome for the website? Right now, it seems that if you want to stay as a Freeper you are required to allow yourself to be marginalized, because we refuse to support the election. From where I sit, this is the absolute wrong time to allow ourselves to be marginalized. The only way we get a seat at the table is to be on the team.
