General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Hillary has more than 200 economic advisors. Why doesn't Warren? [View all]Moonwalk
(2,322 posts)And instead of a reasoned discussion of the facts, all I see is post after post of gleeful mockery. It sure looks like bashing to me. And hating someone. Rather like children saying nasty things. I'm just confused about this as it doesn't seem helpful. I get no good information from these comments. I get only the message that I should hate Hillary. And that I shouldn't vote for her even if the democrats put her on the ballot.
Do you really want me to do that? Are you, my fellow democrats really telling me that? I look around and I see the GOP destroying this country on state level, on the supreme court. I may wish and dream for a different candidateand who knows, maybe the primaries will not give us Hillary--but to find everyone tearing this one possible candidate apart...its really dreadful to watch. The GOP and their supporters want us to tear our candidates down, want us to ruin them, want us to not vote. They want us to hand them every advantage.
You don't have to like her. You don't have to want her for president. And all of us should be informed of facts like these and decide what we think of them. But mockery? Sneering? Scorn? Contempt? How do these make you and those you support look good? I really love Warren, but I've been having serious second thoughts about her given what I see her supporters saying about Hillary. Comments like I see in this thread. And how do comments like these make us look to those who would join the democrats?
I don't expect us to be one big happy family with no disagreements, no arguments. But I would like to see us be civil. And to have reasoned discussions. Not tear-downs of a person who might be the party's choice for president, and yes, even Elizabeth Warren's choice for president.
