After a discussion with a long time friend and client today about

all of the candidates Republican and Democratic alike it dawned on me that we democrats really need to raise the level of discourse in our primary. Here on DU I will read something positive about Hillary or Bernie and many times it's followed with a somewhat spiteful remark about the opposition. We're all passionate. I know I am passionate and inspired about Bernie Sanders. I just don't think tearing either of them down will help us in the long run. The Republicans are running some very frightening candidates. Just food for thought apology in advance if it is too lecturing.
