Mike Miller is still here.  And since I started ignoring the other ones, the
only thing that I see are fewer message headers.  So I'm not missing them.

No.  They all left because they lost and can't spin it in any other way.

Now, that is a problem.  We do need someone with counter viewpoints who can
actually discuss.  I got tired of the parrots pushing the same debunked talking
points over and over again.  That's why I stopped reading their messages.

And I was in another debate area where some people were **still** saying that
Jan. 6 was an "insurrection".

Ya, not much in the way of discussion stuff on other venues.  Although OANN's
article discussions can get interesting - sometimes.

The polls on Election Day.
