In reply to the discussion: The presence of such a divisive figure on our Democratic stage will only harm us. [View all]meadowlander
(4,388 posts)I like everyone who's running including Bernie Sanders. I'm interested to hear what all of them have to say. In about eighteen months, when it's actually primary season, I'll be happy to check back in and make a very difficult decision between a lot of good candidates.
What I hope is that I'm not going to have to check out of DU for the next two years because of how boring it is to read "fall in line or else you're a divisive, selfish, gullible, not-real Democrat" while whining about how it's the other candidate's supporters who are tearing us all apart.
Can we all just slow our rolls and remember that we actually agree about 99.9% of what we're talking about and that it won't kill us to treat each other with respect and a genuine desire to understand where the other person is coming from?
