No clown car for the Democrats--but here on DU

all of the Democrats in these primaries are decent people and serious about their position and are not making disparaging remarks about their opponents----no ---can I say the same about brethren here on DU?

comes after any post that seems to go against their candidate, and then argue line by line by tortuous line.

Then there's the rest of us.

And we can change. I remember the BLM controversy. Boy, was I in that one! But they are right. Black lives do matter. And it doesn't seem like lots of police departments think that's so.

But, see, I saw it as trying to pound a wedge...well you know the argument. I won't rehash it. A bunch of us got on that 'they're trying to divide and conquer us' train. Which could have been true.

Now, though, at least until the next meme that gets my blood boiling, hey - I'm one of the NORMAL ones...

That whole social justice vs. economic justice seems to be making a comeback after being blessedly dormant for a few weeks.

we all need to get ourselves on the same page ----but not now-----in 2013 there were so many Warren supporters here ---but it seems as though they are not as vocal ---

DU's a wee bit Sanders/Clinton preoccupied of late, understandably.
