(2,510 posts)Not sure I am up to date on what is considered a right-wing talking point. My points about covid policy are my carefully considered, somewhat educated opinion. I'm a teacher who has seen what covid policies have done to kids. I am the brother of a doctor who has been on the front lines. I am a student of history and a decades long reader of scientific literature. Doesn't make me any better or worse than any other person with an opinion, but I don't think I am talking out of my ass.
If we could just get to the point, every now and then, where we back off from our carefully curated personas and tribalism and actually talk policy, DU and our Democratic party in general would be better for it.
Covid public policy should be a non-partisan topic where we are free to debate merits and consequences of what we do. But man, you say one thing that is not accepted dogma, and it is personal attack after personal attack.
Very discouraging. One reason I only comment on here every few months. Gets exhausting.
