(57,936 posts)It is really important that we consider and discuss all issues.
Hillary is a nice lady. She says nice things, but we need change, and she is avoids questions and answering questions.
We want to see debates so that we can decide for ourselves who to work and vote for.
Hillary supporters are assuming rather imperiously that Hillary will be the candidate and that we will all support her.
I can't support her. She has been wrong on too many issues, too many issues like Iraq that were life or death for hundreds of thousands of people.
I realize that you are a Hillary supporter, and I know that you own this site, but the political decisions we face in this primary are just too important for us to avoid the necessary conflict that will help us discuss the issues and the personalities and decide which candidate is really right for the Democratic Party.
With all due respect, we should not be repressing discussion however heated at this point. It is still very early in the game.
Hillary is not inevitable. She really isn't. She is very vulnerable. Sorry, but that is the fact. Her vulnerability is due to who she is and who is paying for her campaign. She may or may not be the strongest candidate we can pick.
Please give those of us who do not support Hillary a chance to voice our opinions. Thanks.
