NYT: Hate Negative Political Ads? This Is the Primary for You

So it turns out Dems are being pretty nice to one another this year compared to past years. From discussions on DU you would think it was just the opposite:

Democrats are avoiding using ads to attack each other, as they target voters intent on defeating President Trump.

Biden's campaign pushed things a bit before the NH primary, but otherwise most disagreements between candidates have been issues-based. Can't say the same for some of the "discussions" on this board though.

compared to 2008. I think the Trump thing is keeping everyone’s eye on the ball.
