Ugh - reading through the 'Latest Threads' is so painful [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by BooScout (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Every other damned post is about he said/she said or their factions having done this or that and we're all the worse for all of it.

Jeebus, we're all Democrats (large D), I hope, and at some point have to come together - and I get that it won't happen for a while. However, can't this picayune bullshit be relegated elsewhere? Scrolling through 2 pages of "whaaaa" this and "whaaaa" that on the Latest Threads tab has become the worst....the absolute worst.

Skinner, Elad, et al - isn't there a better way for this? DU is becoming unreadable for the tit-for-tat garbage that's going on and honestly, it ain't fun to try to discover, learn, and read anything here that's not a blast toward either candidate, What happened to the smart, intelligent discourse we used to have. Help?!
