Apparently there is some arguing going here between Bernie and HRC supporters

I see numerous threads either praising one of the candidates or attacking him or her but I pass over them. IMO, most DUers are not undecided voters and have already made their decision for whatever reason and are not going to be swayed from it. Some probably made up their mind right after the 2012 primary was done. But people like to debate (argue) about any topic they may have a great interest in and that's fine. That's one of the reasons DU exists.

I've already made up my own mind as to who to vote for in the upcoming primary and I'll support the candidate who does win. Whoever that may be. Being on disability, my funds are limited so I probably won't donate to a campaign this time around and my time is spent taking care of a 3 month old granddaughter because her parents have decided that drugs are more important to them then their own child. I'm not complaining about that because the reward is to see her smile and listen to her coo and make baby sounds.

Some people do complain that DU is a nasty place during primary season but it isn't if one just skips over or auto trashes by keyword certain threads. There are also numerous groups discussing interesting topics where one could spend hours browsing. But if one does love political conflict, there's plenty of that here.

Sorry to go off topic, but that jumped out at me and my mother alarm went off.

I feel better. You are an awesome Grandma and I hope you have people you can ask for help when you need it.

what alliances emerge, etc.

It is easier to pick which group of supporters I align with, and prefer to align with, than which candidate. Will try to not let that interfere with my eventual choice.
