I don't know about others, but I think it was nicer when the General Discussion board didn't have politics other than accurately describing Trump's incompetence.

Today, I saw a sympathetic Bernie Sanders campaign postmortem.

choosing the path less traveled made all the difference...but then came college where I realized that both paths were pretty much the same and, yet I wanted the path to make all the difference...still remember that. I like seeing it on your post.

We could discuss strategies there to get rid of Orange Joffrey. If we can fight each other in the primaries, it seems like it would be a good idea to have a Forum where we can fight the Republicans in the general election.

You registered after DU created a Democratic Primaries forum so how are you familiar with the interactions on DU prior to that occurring?

A lot of people didn't bother with it after that. Nobody is actually undecided between Trump and any Democrat.

GD will be daily flooded with elections twists & turns, same as what the Primaries raison d'etre was for. I don't remember being bothered about it in past elections, what did we do?

In it, the idea of a GE forum is broached.
Perhaps going to Ask The Admins, & linking this thread would be useful
Plenty here on this thread promoting the idea.
