I am an oldster and a long time supporter of Hillary.
I don't know how I happened onto this site but so far so good. I live in the middle Atlantic region, in a conservative state with progressive pockets in certain "cities." None of the cities are huge but....you is what you is.

I read one admin posting for newbies but am confused on instructions for posting here. It said to look for the blue POST button to ask a question. I do not see any such button. All I see is "Start a new Thread." Or was it 'discussion?' I can't recall. So that is what I pushed.

My question is/was: on the threads that have quite a few responses you have to click on each one individually to read it. Is there a way to open all the posts to read them? I would like to actually read all posts in certain threads, in sequence, but it is irritating to have to scroll back to each one and click it open.

And, what is the real way to post a question to Admin? A way that I can actually find on the page. Thanks.
