Exactly for reason stated.

it's a circular firing squad most of the time.

Circle jerks.

Same.

in-fighting and I agree with you. We're already up against the cheating and voter suppression of the last stolen election.

I predict it will continue.

2004, 2008, and 2016. Come to think of it, we only won one of those.

But take heart. The winner of the "DU primary" wins exactly 0 delegates. All of that arguing will be for naught when the vast Democratic electorate actually start casting votes.

As the author of a "someone on the internet is wrong" post myself, just today, I can assure you I have no real hope of affecting anyone's choice.

I think your choice to avoid the primaries page is probably a wise one. No good can come of that group, lol.

And pretty much my feelings 100%. I was starting to get sucked in, was going to post, and then decided "what is the point really?" Kind of the same as posting on responses to Tweets.

I don't think they necessarily represent America...but I see a lot of this same nickering and fighting all over Twitter, Facebook, and being flamed now by CNN and even MSNBC.

complain and criticize, those whining in eternal despair, and those who have no standards or principles and no understanding worth sharing, and instead post with Democrats of principle and knowledge.

I can't come up with a better way to personally confound the efforts of the Republican and Russian trolls to turn our corner of the social media into a sick, infectious cesspool. Apparently also agents and bots of China, House of Sawd, Iran, and other nations from what's being reported. Keeping in mind that vigorous disagreement can be healthy, it's just the level at which it's engaged and the intent.

Right now I have no one blocked, no matter how irritating, but at some point I'll get tired of continually forgetting my own resolutions and sliding into the muck (I seem to lack what all those who really are above it have ) and do it for myself again.

But it is not worth the aggravation. I am eternally grateful to Skinner for segregating that topic.

I have my preferences, but I will go with the Democratic nominee, whoever that is.

There are things to like about every candidate .. Let's win this

been almost 20 years ..eek

Republican and longtime Trump critic Ana Navarro has no such qualms. Calling Biden a good friend who merely likes to comfort people, Navarro begged Democrats to stop searching for the perfect candidate and settle on someone who can beat Trump in 2020.

“As a Republican who is desperate to see Donald Trump out of the White House I am perplexed by the circular firing squad that the Democrats are executing on themselves,” Navarro said.

“They have — there is like — it is like they are looking for the perfect candidate. You don’t need the perfect candidate. You need a candidate good enough to beat Donald Trump. Please, for the love of God, don’t screw it up and give us somebody because I’ve given up on the Republicans being able to do that.”

I'm just glad all of that has been filtered out of this forum

will not cost us the 2020 election

Read Facebook, Twitter, blogs, News responses, etc. The Dems in the US are in a full circular firing squad. It is really terrible and yes it could cost us 2020.

and what we are leaving future generations. Trump isn't the only one exhibiting narcissistic behavior.

Happens every election cycle, it seems.

But I loved what Kamala Harris was saying about unions today!!!

Me, die hard Dem/DUer, got Alerted on for a same post that was very popular.

As a poster here upthread said, I'm voting for Dem nominee no matter what so what's the point?!1

I am proud to say I have only been there once when it first started and have yet to be back. I have no plans to go there in the future.

... for the most part Boris and Natasha can’t actually vote. Yet.

That's why I pretty much avoid those forums and discussions.

(ducks)

totally useless because people's choices are visceral and cannot be changed

It's too much bullshit to deal with at the moment.

I understand completely.

when it opened. I'm not going to do that to myself.

While I'm truly enthusiastic about one candidate (whom I will not name), I'm open to all the others. There is one I don't like too much, and I would feel a sense of dread if that candidate won the primary, but I'm going to vote for anyone over Trump, so it's not like it matters so much to me.

I'm willing to work with anybody. See how it shakes out. So getting embroiled in the frustrating arguments over the candidates doesn't do much for me. It'll only instill resentments and frustration.

I can't stomach reading over there, talk about a swamp!

....we played a game out on the playground called "Kill The Guy With The Ball." Simple game. The rules are in the name.

That's what primary season is at DU, with the perceived front-runner being "the guy with the ball."
