(90,556 posts)imo, DU is in big trouble right now. Some here are downright delusional, and others want to see Dems lose again, so they can have their version of the Apocalypse. And then there's the trolls of various stripes running rampant. DU will be less-than-useful if it can't get its act together soon.
I am hoping for a robust primary, but since no one on our side has declared yet, we have no idea as yet what that will look like. Media pundits just want to see a brawl, so they natter on endlessly about only one potential Democratic candidate. On DU we've had any amount of reactionary emotional upheavals prompted by this MSM fetishism.
The citizens of this country deserve better than BushCheney Redux. You are absolutely right: there are people who will literally die, for all the reasons you give.
I hope your OP gets some intelligent responses.
