As I get into heated arguments here

I have to remind myself that, for the most part, we all support and vote for the same ideas and people.
And that the difference between anyone here and the average GOPer is a hundred fold.
If I wasn't committed to the Democratic party, I wouldn't be here.

I know you just want to improve the Democratic Party and stop them from moving more to the (always wrong) Right. I know where your heart lies.

We see on Discussionist how different it is to even try to talk to people on the other side.

the right-wing who'll alert on any post they don't want to read (anything against their wrongheaded beliefs), and there are enough of them there to make that alert stick. So DUers who go there are faced with being timid in their posts while the RWers there go ALL out and are never called to account. But yes, you're totally correct, we can see the glaring difference there as clear as crystal.

what we might argue about here and what we think is really important are often separate things.

probably 80%-90% approval here, and probably got close to 100% of our votes. No matter how much we might "bash" him at times.
And that is what i am talking about.
