Subtle negativity?

Instead of finding problems with other's choices for President, why don't we just emphasize our candidate's positive points.?

I'm tired of the "but YOUR candidate has bad breath" BS.

It's counter productive, divisive and sort of equates the contributing member with typical Republican tactics.

No more Bernie/Hillary shit!

4. Why? So our nominee can go up against Trump without having shown

any ability to withstand criticism? Because our nominee won't need that ability in a campaign against DT?

The negativity isn't that subtle and I wish it would stop, but I'm not holding my breath that it will happen. I don't like it but that seems to be the way things work on this forum.

By the way I like your "cheeky" avatar.
