I fully expect to disagree with something every candidate has said or a current position. Hell, I don’t fully agree with anyone on everything.

You aren’t electing a saint you are picking the person who will do the best job. I hate the expression “lesser of two evils”. You have privilege and therefore the responsibility to make the choice of who is best.

People should definitely point out flaws and their opinion on how important those flaws are. At the same time remember you don’t know what your choices will be when the primary comes to your state. I’ll reserve making a decision until then and can’t imagine voting for anyone but the Democratic candidate in the general.

I would not be able to name a candidate who I agreed with on every issue. The choice of a candidate involves balancing a number of issues.

I have issues with the Franken attackers, but it's ok
with me if others have a different view.

We have great options this cycle. I look forward to hearing from all candidates and making my decision in due time.

This is a Democratic discussion site and we are heading into a primary, that like all will have some strong opinions.

I will commit to discussing policy, records and electability. But will not attack candidates with gratuitous slander.

From what I have seen lately here I am encouraged.

We really don't agree around here of what words like "attack" or "denigrate" mean. One man's critique is another man's attack. And it is difficult to either contrast and compare or advocate for a candidate without someone feeling their candidate is being slighted.
