All I can say is I sure hope the BASHING of the Democratic Party is blown out of

proportion here on DU because of the dynamics of this place and who is here.

Because if mainstream America is buying into the BASHING of the party a certain candidate and supporters are doing,say hello to fascist killer being reelected.

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

Most people could name Trump and maybe a couple of Democrats. Most people know not that much about politics. The people on DU are like the people who love Star Trek that can tell you which episode they are watching from the first frame of the episode that they see. About half of the people eligible to vote in America don't even vote, so that means about half of America is not really paying attention at all.

being in line at a grocery store and hearing one person say to another, "I dont know what it is really but I just cant trust her" talking about Hillary, of course.

If they do similar about Joe or whoever, it will be trouble.
