Can We Just Agree To Disagree Already?
Why fight against each other? Fucking hell, I know many here can't stand me, but what the hell? Who cares? I DO respect your opinions, even if I disagree with (some) them, ok? We're all Dems here, aren't we? You know, kinda like a family? So, are we cool?:-)

We could fist bump, maybe

9. That expression is usually reseved for enemies or opponents
Let's hope it doesn't come down to that.

10. Dinger, I can stand you just fine. I think some people are going overboard in thinking
a disagreement in politics means you hate the other person. In some cases, it does. I will never learn to love Dick Cheney. But you, a good progressive Dem. I cannot dislike you. We ARE all Dems.

11. Disagreement is the point of DU.
Posting to say "me too" or "+1" doesn't add much to a debate.

DU is a discussion forum. Airing and arguing about disagreements is one of its raisons d'etre.

13. I Have to Get Better On Writing Down My Thoughts Instead Of "+1", etc.
It's just that I'm humbled (really) by the talent of the people here. I am not talented at all when it comes to writing down my thoughts. Many, many Duers {Ones I agree/disagree with) are so talented, it kind of spooks me. This is a real admission of mine, not playing games.

12. Sure we can agree to disagree! The rest depends on your definition of Democrat
I believe that the DLC and others in the Democratic Party might call themselves Democrats, but they are, in fact, craven political opportunists willing to sell unions and the middle class down the river to lap up the ocean of money being dangled by corporate interests that have already bought and paid for the GOP.
