Why is so much time here spent attacking fellow Democrats?

81. Totally agree with this. I'm undecided and wnat info, not slime that makes it a chore to cut through

And get good information. I know a lot of people that HATE politics because of this fog created by phony scandals and inane nit picking. This kind of shit makes a lot of people prefer to be uninformed because they keep hearing "they're all the same"- and the rancor makes you want to believe exactly that- which is ridiculous- just so you don't have to hear all the negative bullshit. Of course many live for the mud slinging game. I wish they'd pipe down and let off their steam with a real game, lol. This is too important.
I disagree with Bernie showing his age, I think he's great thinking on his feet- he just allowed himself to be blind sided by not being more prepared to speak to BLM. He really should have taken to heart that pivoting to economics so quickly is offensive. When he says things like "we have overcome racism" you have to wonder if he bounced that off anyone *smart enough* in his campaign- because that was a major gaffe. He is so well versed about economics, he can go off script easily- but he has a solid one. He needs powerful scripts for racial matters, women's reproductive rights and foreign policy too- because those issues will come up, and he can't afford to stick his foot in his mouth, or always rely on a pivot to economics.
He already has the voters that connect everything to the economy.
