96. Thank you for this thoughtful post. And I couldn't agree more...

I hate seeing anything posted on DU that wouldn't move one person's primary vote (because people aren't persuaded by attacks against their chosen candidate), because it serves no purpose but to divide. ACTUAL argument and well thought out persuasion? Of course that opens discussion and opens us up to more information and a more informed choice. THAT I love.

But anything that's just meant to sow division? We can't afford that now.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
