(63,912 posts)23. It seems to me that given the history of the U.S. that bickering amongst ourselves about politics
is a fine old American tradition (with regrettable exceptions of violent behavior). Why should it be different here on DU? Some people are going to take it all personally and take their ball and go home.
I'm all for calls for unity and folks not being jerks. But we shouldn't get our hopes up for that to always happen when it comes to politics. We believe passionately and we act passionately. We have rules that we agree to follow here. Let's have a little faith in ourselves.
