I'm sure most DUers will agree with me on this
This whole "You're an Obama cheerleader/worshipper" vs "You're an Obama basher/whiner" thing is getting really boring. Can we just discuss the issues?

1. People take it all personally. They have a personal stake in the president. If you
criticize a policy, they take it personally.

there are extremes on both sides of this.

6. Unfortunately not everyone has the intellectual capacity
to discuss differences in a reasonable manner (including me sometimes). However, I do try to keep the discourse civil while on DU. I think it is important that we do not turn people off with our arguments. Our strength is in our numbers and we need to keep all our members feeling welcome.
