I don't think discussing other candidates is a bad thing. I think crapping (for lack of a better word) on other candidates is bad for the party in general.

Overall, I would like to see a shift in how we (outside of DU as well, this is important to me) debate the issues that matter. Obviously, the is the MO'M group, and as such we are here to support this candidate.

Speaking for myself — I feel I can advocate for the candidate that I feel will be a great Democratic nominee without tearing down other candidates.

And that — In my view includes pointing out differences —

Primary season is a very long process. I am a Democrat. I have no use in making enemies.

That said, I will advocate for this candidate. I don't think you had to explain your post in this group. It was fine!
