A plea for civility and unity among Democrats

[TomSlick]

Dear DU:

The Primaries forum has great potential as a place we can discuss the candidates. However, we need to remember that this is a family discussion. At the end of this discussion, we will need to be united against Trump who is an existential threat to the Republic.

Tell me why you support your favorite Democratic candidate. Tell me the policies differences that support your choice. Don't attack the other candidates. We're all family here.

We cannot afford to end the primary season with ill will between us.

1. This isn't my first rodeo

And everyone gathers around the candidate at the end.

[TomSlick]

2. I hope you are right.

My memory is there was a lot of bad feelings last time around. I hope we can avoid a repeat this time.

The future of the Republic depends upon it.

[Mr Tibbs]

3. Except the last time

And I I know
we can all do better

[TomSlick]

4. Thank you.

We can do better - and must.

[McCamy Taylor]

5. No food fights. No kneecapping. No divide and conquer.

That is a lot to ask of Democrats. But I have faith in my party.

[TomSlick]

6. My faith is shaky but my hope is strong.

7. About the same here. I see hopeful and troubling signs. nt

8. I have faith in all the Democrats in our party's primary.

One problem remains.
