Democratic Primaries

and everyone else is wrong, those that disagree with them are no longer just people with a different opinion but are evil. Thus, any tactic to fight them is acceptable because they are evil and must be defeated. So any lie is ok. Any smear is fine. Demonization is not only ok but encouraged. The right has operated like this for decades. Unfortunately we are now seeing the rise of this on the left. It needs to stop now. Were better than that.

(22,336 posts)I'm sick and tired of stupid over-the-top attacks. No Democratic candidate is evil. NONE OF THEM. Hillary Clinton isn't evil either. I'm sick of that, too. It isn't edgy or cool to act like any of the Dem candidates are "just as bad as Trump." (I don't know if people are going on like that here but I've heard it from Dems elsewhere.) Any of the Democratic candidates would be a huge improvement over Trump.

(16,685 posts)Unfortunately this is a case where "both sides do it" really is true. And by both sides I mean the "centrists" and the "progressives". Neither one will admit to any culpability in the destructive atmosphere that has continued to taint Democratic politics. And both have contributed to it.
