I agree Speaker Pelosi. Democrats must be united to defeat Trump,

and that unity should begin at the Convention. After a nominee is chosen.

Before that, the various candidates will debate, and articulate their positions.

It would be ideal if the supporters of all of these candidates would do the same thing, and explain how their particular candidate is the best choice for President.


In my view, the fear of another Trump term is motivating a large percentage of the attack posts here, and that fear is understandable. But having followed politics since I was 16, if the past 52 years has taught me any few things, it is that people love to argue about politics, and that many people, perhaps most people, do not really follow politics except very close to an election.

And given that weak state of the US media, and the gradual disappearance of newspapers, and the right wing dominance of most of the media, voters are not exposed to much real information.

So these pathetic, televised, reality television style confrontations that are called debates are no place to hear actual information about the real differences between candidates.
