9. One person's "attack" is another person's "pointing out information so that voters are informed".

I think it is important that people are able to express their opinions, even if that means criticizing various Democratic Presidential Candidates. There are many forums on Democratic Underground. If a person does not want to read about "attacks" or criticism about the various Democratic Candidates, that person might want to avoid the Democraic Primaries Forum.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
