Maybe it is just a dream, but since we are all Democrats, maybe we can avoid bashing other good Democratic candidates and focus on the positives? Maybe everyone coming here can adopt that ethos also?

The bashing I've seen of late is a complete turnoff. I just remind myself that DU isn't the world at large.

very nervous about doing so, for the same reason FSogol stated, I would like to see this as a constructive and instructive group.

and as such, I believe it should be a safe haven as is the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Groups.
