In reply to the discussion: The stark differences [View all]longship
(40,416 posts)49. Thanks, jwirr.
I appreciate your thoughtful post.
Well, I support nobody openly here. I just do not want to get into it. (Pshaw! Then I plunge myself into it anyway.)
I just hope people would be more respectful to each other, especially when they disagree. And, like Bernie, I don't like hit pieces, no matter how they are framed as a contrast of positions. If one cannot make a positive post about ones candidate, than one has nothing. And a negative post does nothing whatsoever to raise ones candidate. It only lowers the dialog for the whole enterprise. That hurts all Democrats.

Pointing out policy differences between two candidates in a primary is not tearing down anyone.

refusing to state a position on it is different from not supporting it.
