Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumRemember-Whenever you post derogatory threads on a fellow Democratic candidate ....
An Angel gets its wings torn off.
Actually folks it is worse than that. It gets used as propaganda on RW radio and like-right now-on Tucker the Fuckers show.
Dems in divide!!!
They have this refrain often enough that we DO NOT FEED IT OURSELVES.
No fighting no biting.
Why?
Well it does actual harm.
We will all devote every ounce of energy and vote to the eventual Democratic nominee. I expect that to be a given.
It does us absolutely no good to have minor platform arguments here or in public. Write a letter or call the office. But please do not feed the damn trolls or worse-
Fox.

There have been a slew of threads bemoaning that one ethnicity or another is not embracing so & so's policy & aren't you concerned.
Ummm-do not agree with the premise & I'd wager the concerned person has other motives. As in to setup a strawman divide. Pick a topic-MFA, POT LGBTQ etc...
They all can be used as division points.
I almost always give it the under the bridge test. Who does the argument or discussion benefit. Can the argument then be used against us as stated above. Or are they just concerned.
Those last ones are what I call concern trolls. They are always concerned and question your lack of concern.
Very easy to be divisive in a free society. And free speech is always welcome. But please be aware the results can be skewed or used against us-even when not falsely generated.
And the push is on to raise those divisions so just be aware it is a tactic.

(28,837 posts)Harris was accused of using some word or phrase and I called bs on it. No way Harris said whatever they said she said.
Warren had some crap thrown at her that I commented bs.
Not one of our Democratic candidates should be disparage unnecessarily. Its ugly.

(42,862 posts)What happens when someone lies about the Democratic party by claiming that it's "corrupt" or "feeble" or "ideologically bankrupt" or "the party of the one percent" or "the party of the elite"?
So many lies! So many torn-off wings! Feathers flying everywhere! Carnage!

(34,195 posts)People should post reasons to vote for their candidate
and not tear other Democrats down.
As candidate X or Y rise in the polls,
supporters of lesser candidates
increase their attacks on them.
"OH MY GAWD !
Candidate X wore black socks with a dark navy blue suit.
He must be destroyed!"

(5,103 posts)How do you promote Your candidate without pointing out the flaws of your Democratic opponent?
It would be great to constantly run an anti-tRump campaign, but that isn't realistic.
How would you like to proceed?

(194 posts)commentary about any other candidates. I was for Kamala Harris, but reckon it was a major mistake for her to single out Joe Biden for criticism in a televised debate. She would still be a sagacious choice for Veep nomination, notwithstanding this mistake, for any of the current front runners. United, we stand!

(13,485 posts)If everyone supports their candidate with facts and state why we support them we wouldn't need to point out the faults of others; we can read for ourselves. I don't need anyone telling me what's bad about other Democratic candidates. I'm perfectly capable of setting my own opinions without the needless backscatter.

Letting the Trump/GOP call out the problems with Dem candidates first is way too premature, and unwise.
