People have an opinion about canidates for a reason..

Whether for or against.

Listening to the other side, will cause no one any harm.

Understanding that when a poster is passionate about or works hard for a particular canidate to get them on a ticket or elected.. name calling of that canidate is going to raise hackles.

Just saying..

some of the up and comers (O'Malley, Julian Castro). I really doubt the primary season will be just Hillary v. Elizabeth. In that sense I'd like to hear more about many potential candidates.

But I also have a feeling some of the actual name calling and that sort of thing are folks trying to cause rifts and divide dems.

Nothing is set in stone.. hearing everyone out is a good thing..

And being respectful of those who have put in the hard work for their chosen canidate.. by not calling that canidate names .. wouldn't hurt.

I know some say it is about passion to attack other canidates with a fury.. but never knew an insult to work to change anyone's mind or bring them over to a particular side..

not supposed to slap a label on those you disagree with? Usually in the form of an acronym?



I agree.
