I consider myself to be a part of that small unrepresentative group, of political obsessives. Yet, I haven't lost Democratic friends this primary. This stuff isn't what's taking place for most of us, no matter who we choose to vote for in the primary. We're getting along with each other, and we still riff on Cruz and Trump saying how our choices are so much better.
I know that's not the actual point you were trying to make here, but it's all I've really got to offer at this point.
I'm not trying to disrespect your site in the least. I just don't think what's taking place here, and in some other pockets of the Internet, in any way represents what the majority of we Democrats actually deal with daily. The Internet allows people to be jerks who aren't jerks otherwise. It's a fact of life we all deal with when we choose to wander off into abyss. It's not your fault, and you can't make everyone happy all the time. That's just how it is. I suspect most of us get it, even when we bemoan the fact.
