I read DU every day and I haven't noticed [View all]

people demanding that Joe Biden drop out. To be honest, I don't remember one OP demanding that, and I'm not sure I remember more than one or two comments in that vein either.

Of course I could have missed them. But I don't have anyone on ignore or any subjects blocked, so I don't think there could have been too many.

With respect, I think that some DUers are interpreting criticism of Biden as demands that he drop out. And criticism can be tough to deal with when many of us think that we will literally sink or swim together. Most of my political activism is in organized labor where unity is the eleventh commandment. So I get it.

Still, this is a difficult situation and I feel that reasonable criticism of the campaign, and especially criticism of the corporate media is also healthy and can be productive.

I have tried to keep my comments in this spirit and I hope that I haven't offended anyone.
