My biggest issue is the daily stream of down right obnoxious vitriol that has nothing to do with actual policy and the celebratory, in your face, "nah-nah" poll posts suggesting "my candidate is better than yours and here's why", without any discussion of real issues. There is no doubt that this is a watershed election for this country, and I am passionately fighting for my particular candidate; however, my post was intended to shine a light on how vicious and ugly many of us on this site have become, and to point out that there will come a time where we will need to reconcile, if we haven't already pushed ourselves too far apart
