General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I read DU every day and I haven't noticed [View all]I agree with you that the DU community is united, which is distinct from some times in the past. And that's a good thing. However, in the past couple of days, a number of people have become increasingly insulting towards those who simply have expressed concerns about President Biden.
Now, I was concerned about him during the debate at first. Anyone who wasn't must have been watching something else, because the president was struggling. After a bit, though, I thought he had recovered. Still not his best, but he landed some solid blows. More, I did not think the felon would have picked up any support among independents. And no one who had supported Biden changed to support the felon.
We've had some time since then. There are still some discussions on the general topic here, and it is important to recognize that the majority of these are OPs by the segment who didn't think Biden should consider stepping aside, many of whom pretend he did very well in the debate. And these OPs/posts are increasingly vile, with foolish name-calling such as "bed-wetters." That was among the insults in an OP by a person I like and respect ..... but I don't like or respect that at all. Other posts are approaching the level of paranoid thinking required to believe in those darned Jewish space lasers, with Russians and the media conspiring.
We don't need that. There is no benefit to the Biden campaign, nor to meaningful discussions on DU.
