It is not healthy for me or anyone here.
I will support 100000000000000% whoever is the nominee. Which, atm, I have to say, looks like Biden.
That said, I will defend Pete against unfair and/or false attacks.
I refuse to get drawn into a circle of invective and contentiousness.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I'm glad to see that, too. Just stick to facts, records, statements of candidates to keep it solid.

Some people just want to pick fights and sow discord, regardless of the topic.

I'm reading Joseph Menn's "Cult of the Dead Cow" and like him so much these days. Lots on Beto in it
