We have this war on FR every election year the purists who want to believe their preferred candidate will get the nomination so badly that they denounce not only every other candidate, but also every freeper who even mildly appreciates any other candidates.
That's not how the primary season is supposed to work.
The pre-nomination season is a time to get many issues out in front of the voting public and see which ones matter greatly to the American people, and what approaches to winning will gain traction. If a candidate you don't prefer starts winning the battle for attention well before the nomination, that should be illuminating to your favored candidate to improve his or her game. It's too soon to start denouncing others who will still be on your team after the nomination.
I understand that the place goes crazy during primary season, but it doesn’t usually go crazy enough for a significant chunk of it to support a liberal — and that’s pretty much where we are right now.
