Has DU Become The

Bernie Sanders For President Page? Wow. We are so fortunate to have two great candidates. Support the one you feel is the best of the two, but why knock the other? Please let's not give the RNC any ammunition. I never saw such rejoicing when Hillary does something wrong or her numbers go down and visa-versa. Please remember this division will only hand the White House and Congress to the GOP. Hate to say it but I will Vote Blue, No Matter Who!

Worrying that some anonymous posts in this echo chamber will hurt her is crazy.



I will also vote for the Democratic nominee, even if that means just voting for the Lesser Evil. I would much rather vote for the Greater Good and still have hopes that i may actually have that opportunity.

No, I am not whinning, I just think we are hurting the party. Support whomever you feel is the better candidate just don't knock the other democrat. Unless you would like to have Trump for President, then I will say no more.

Have a good day.

Do you think that the GOP has a lack of negative sound bites, so they troll democratic forums in the hopes of finding the real dirt?

OK!

People should read and ponder.

President spoke about 'angry politics' last night.

There is too much anger and venom here and on other blogs.

Calling fellow Democrats 'liars' is really angry politics at its worst.

As I said we are very fortunate to have 2 very good candidates. Just look at the clowns who are running for the GOP. No need to call each other names. You vote for one or the other.

Repeat their statement and point out where the statement is incorrect or unfactual.

That is how reasoned debate is supposed to occur.

Angry or polemic conversations based on name calling and insults accomplish little or nothing at all.

this is primary season. Discussing policy differences between the candidates does not constitute "knocking." GD-P was designed to allow those discussions to go on without the rest of the board having to wade through these threads. But some of us like GD-P. Hell, some of us thrive here. So, if this place upsets you, there are lots of alternatives.
