A second opinion: To all of you that are SICK of the BASHING on the DU

It goes both ways! If you feel you have to do that to make a point, then you are persuading no one but those who feel the same as you. That will be as successful as trying to convert a right wing fanatic to become a democrat. Just stop it!

When I first found DU,

...I thought this was a great site for me.
Since I didn't understand the different forums, I was banned for my first post from the Bernie Sanders forum because I commented on how I thought how disgusting it was for Dems to attack each other, which I saw on that forum. Again, I did not even understand it was even a Bernie forum.
Since then I have tried to not waste my time in the specific forums but I have found it difficult when I look at the "Trending Now" and "Greatest Threads" because when I open them, in most cases it is just more attacking of one or the other by those supporting one of the candidates. I have no interest in reading their BS attacks. If I want that, I will watch FOX news. I also don't need them telling me how great their candidate is.
I will support the Democrat nominee, no matter who it is.
I would also suggest that the "Trending Now" and "Greatest Threads" identify in the title which forum they are in.
I no longer read them because once again I find them both nothing more than attack ads and disgusting.

Our president.

I just watched today's presidential new conference.
Wow! What an impressive individual.
About half way through I caught myself comparing him to GWB. Then thought how truly fortunate and blessed we are to have him as our leader rather than John McCain or Romney.
