If you don't like a Dem politician, anything you disagree with is going to be blown out of

proportion in your mind and if you really love a Dem politician you are going to overlook anything you otherwise might have a problem with. I am certainly guilty of this as well and it's just human nature. We all go through this, where someone doesn't like Bernie or Hillary or Avenatti or whoever, and they post about every tiny little thing that bugs them and all it does is divide DU.

Just remember if ANY of these folks get the nomination and they are up against Trump, those little things that bugged us and we posted about and got 50 recs are going to seem extremely insignificant leading up to the 2020 Election Day.

Not saying you can't post what you want, just try to keep this in mind. Is it really something that would bother you if "your" candidate had done it? Or will you really care about that issue if they get the nomination? If not then try to think twice about what good it is really doing posting small attacks on any Dems.
