my favorite one".
Unlike the Repugs the Democrats are supposed to not just
think, but also to criticize certain policies, discuss them, and
if DUers think to discard them.
The GD is just important for that. No,we are not supposed
to flatter certain politicians,nor should we attack them
personally. However, policies are supposed to be screened,
checked, and yes, criticized.
At this point HRC is a candidate; fine. That opens the door
for just those discussions. Once other Dems are running
as well, their policies should get the same kind of
scrutiny. After all, in this tech age the former or
"secret" statements by any of the candidates are known.
HRC has a lot of political history, which the present POTUS did
not.That comes into play right now.
As far as dividing the Democratic Party is concerned, I think
this happened a long time ago. I am not sure that it is only
generationally determined or just historical. Democrats
don't like to be told what and how to think and resent
the typical herding efforts.
