"You have convinced me to change my support & vote"



I wrote last week that the endless tit for tat isn't healthy. We, as Democrats, should have a common goal
and that is to support a Democrat in November and beyond.

Of there has to be necessary debate and consideration during the primary process, but the immaturity is ridiculous on
both side.

...and while this below wasn't intended for this circumstance, I believe to still be relevant in the context
of endless petty threads.

Attacking the other candidate by tearing them down is not, at least to me.

My goals are policy-related, not simply a matter of electing 'someone, anyone'. If I don't feel a given candidate is actually going to address the issues I feel need addressed, I have no incentive to vote for them. I hope that every voter does the same, even if they support a different candidate.
