I try my best not to spend my time attacking Democratic candidates I am not currently supporting..

[Peacetrain]

I am very proud of who I have chosen to support, and happily post his good news.

[RobertDevereaux]

1. A wise stance, and mine as well.

[Peacetrain]

2. Thank you

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. Nor will I, save for Gabbard....

Who had badmouthed the lineup as well as the Democratic party.

[Peacetrain]

5. True that!

[AZ8theist]

12. When will this community admit she's not a Democrat??

What will it take? When she runs as a third party and hands the election to the fucking traitor occupying the WH???

[DownriverDem]

13. Only Dems

I only support true members of the Democratic Party.

[hedda_foil]

23. Does that mean that if Sanders is the Democratic nominee you will not vote for him?

[at140]

26. Crickets! ..

you are unlikely to get a response.

[NurseJackie]

4. Your sentence is very ambiguous...

I try my best not to spend my time attacking Democratic candidates I am not currently supporting..

Your sentence is very ambiguous. The awkward wording makes it almost sound as though you're trying to tell us that instead you only attack the candidate you are currently supporting.

[Peacetrain]

6. Sorry about that.. thought the second sentence sort of explained it

"I am very proud of who I have chosen to support, and happily post his good news." I do tend to post the way I talk.. basically having a conversation in print. But I see what you are saying..

[NurseJackie]

8. It did... I took your meaning... but the first one made me chuckle anyway.

[Rob WA]

7. Hmm...

Perhaps it would be more admirable, if the sentence began, "I shall not...".

"Trying" is not doing.

[Turbineguy]

9. Good Plan

There really is no shortage of talented candidates. They all bring something valuable to the table.

[warmfeet]

10. I agree.

I will vote for the Democratic candidate, whoever that might be.

Just the opportunity to vote for the Democratic candidate, is a wonderful thing.

I am grateful for the opportunity.

[localroger]

11. I agree too

All of our candidates are great and all are capable of beating the orange T in the general election. We can sort out our differences without pounding each other into the ground and get into the real fight after the primary.

[AlexSFCA]

14. except Gabbard

who likely has ties to russian intelligence service

[AZ8theist]

25. Agreed

[JudyM]

15. Dialogue here would be far more valuable if a handful of others followed your model.

Some have no consideration for the tenor and camaraderie of the general DU community, just want to get in every possible acrimonious word they can to tear down another’s candidate. Good that you’re not part of that frenzy, reflects far better on your candidate.

[blm]

19. ✔️

[Tipperary]

16. I really think it is a waste of time to "attack" any of

our candidates. It certainly will not change anyone’s mind. Kind of amusing that they think it will.

[proud patriot]

17. let's win this

[blm]

18. I wish more would follow that path.

The constant attack posts of some here are just wrong. Sometimes the attack posts are unnecessarily malicious and even evil.

[aikoaiko]

20. Nice story.

[Joe941]

21. +1

[Doremus]

22. I wish there were less of it here too.

Tout your candidate without tearing down the others. Hard to resist I guess but some ppl could try a little harder.

[MissMillie]

24. I think it would be a thing of beauty....

if when we get to the General Election, the Democratic candidate could stand next to Donald Trump and say

"I got my party's nomination without attacking any of my opponents. I didn't disparage them or anyone else. I wasn't up at the crack of dawn making nasty remarks on social media. That is what this country needs: someone who is reasonable and thoughtful about their words and actions. It is the only way we will Make America America Again."

[lordsummerisle]

27. Well that's good because according to the DU rules

Don't bash Democratic public figures
Do not post disrespectful nicknames, insults, or highly inflammatory attacks against any Democratic public figures. Do not post anything that could be construed as bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for any Democratic general election candidate <snip>

[defacto7]

28. I will support your candidate if he wins the primary

but right now I'll support you and your excellent positive attitude! You've got my vote for DU democrat of the day.
