Sorry. It's never been a polite process. It's not likely to get any MORE polite until the general election campaign takes off.

Fair warning, 2008 was an apocalyptic shitstorm in the Demosphere, I suspect DU was no exception. 2016 is likely to be the same. I hope you're not expecting gentlemen and ladies chatting amiably and ostracizing those who make a snippy remark over brandy. 'Cause democratic contests have always involved a lot of hair-pulling, groin-kicking, and biting.

We're a bunch of feral fucking animals during primary season, basically. It's how we get stuff done.
