IMO Too Often Democrats March Out The Circular Firing Squad During Important Elections

2. We need to focus on issues in the primaries, not personal characterizations and criticisms...

It is breaking down the issues hopefully in as neutral a fashion as possible and who supports positions on these and has worked for or against them in ways people can understand, or that people can learn more about them through discussion, we hopefully make it easier for people to know which candidate works bests to support them in the general election, and we don't slam the other in a way that will provide non-productive ammunition for the Republicans in a general election that hurts us all, even if it isn't our favorite candidate that gets nominated.

Even if it is looking at their past history, we should point out the actions that a candidate can take to correct problems or make them better equipped to deal with certain issues than perhaps they are on record for now, that would be a productive means of providing the candidate themselves ways to change their platform and actions to draw in more supporters from the American voter, and ultimately hoping doing the right things for all of us later. Then it will seem less that we are just engaged in personal attacks on a candidate but really trying to ensure that whoever gets elected does the right thing for us all.
