Amen ... DU used to be a lot better than this

Too many folks promoting division, undemocratic illiberal policy, mocking death of non vaxxed, etc. Biden was against mandates, before he supported them. Anyone remember that? Does anybody else see what's happening to us?

Dems need to lose the mandates... the PEOPLE are speaking ...we need to wake up on this

What happened in Virginia is a wake-up call. Legitimate science backs up the concerns people have against mandates. I am a long-term Lefty against mandates. There are many many many more Democrats like me out there that feel like they have lost their tribe. If Democrats don't wake up the next election cycle will be our bloodbath and death knell, aside from making us look like damn fools. How can we go from my body my choice on abortion to vaccine mandates? This is a legitimate question that needs to be debated honestly and sincerely among Democrats in forums like this. My guess is though one of you will alert on me for the nth time and I will be banned, like a few of my other friends who have tried to express an alternative point of view here.

My star is about to expire LOL so I thought I would really fall on my sword on this issue and speak my final peace... cuz this will probably be my last post cuz I am quite certain one of you will alert on me again, for just having a different point of view. So I'll say it now, I really have enjoyed being a part of DU...🖐... until recently, watching The Venomous debate on non vaxxers. I wish you all well, I wish my party well...

The Democrats response to covid cannot be underestimated n/t

You are absolutely right... there are left-wingers who are pro vax / anti mandate

If Democrats can't get their arms around this, we're going to be really big losers at the polls

A lot of Democrats have become single-issue voters

Over authoritarian positions that Dems have staked out. There is a growing common lane between Republicans and Democrats that will create Democratic swing voters for the right... the midterms are in jeopardy I fear.

That's ridiculous and cynical n/t
