(8,312 posts)If anyone chose Trump, it'd be grounds for their suspension from the site.
And we're not *yet* at the "Rally Around the Nominee" time here, so people are allowed to express reasonable concerns about candidates/be in the "I want my candidate" mode that is driving them in canvassing. They don't HAVE to say they will support someone yet.
If this post had been about Bloomberg, TBH I might have hit the "refuse to answer one way or the other" because I still haven't wrapped my brain around us replacing a "Democrat" turned Republican billionaire with a Republican-turned Democratic billionaire who thinks cannabis is more addictive than other legal substances.
There will come a time on DU when such a "loyalty test" will not be necessary with any poll, because anything negative about the nominee will be against site rules. It's not necessary now, particularly with any candidate named.
And before that time comes, people will be given a mourning period to wrap their brains around the fact that our process, for better or worse, gave us this nominee and now we had better be ready to defend them against the barrage of attacks that will come, WHOEVER is chosen.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
