I wonder how much longer divisiveness will be allowed here at DU.

Weird, since that is EXACTLY how trump stole the election.

You would think by NOW it would be not tolerated here.

Sorry, I'm not really in the mood for a deep analysis of his campaign platform Kentonio Nov 2017 #46

Well. I checked it out and got working class and unions. The Democratic Party position. SandyZ Nov 2017 #49

Virginia doesn't have many unions. It is a RTW state. n/t FSogol Nov 2017 #57

Regardless, that is what I read this Democratic Socialist ran on. That would be the SandyZ Nov 2017 #58

What I find interesting is that both the right and "left" promote these myths. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #21

It is interesting to see that some people aren't happy with last week's results BainsBane Nov 2017 #37

Exactly, they wanted to use a Northam loss to promote their "purity" candidates. Now, a week later FSogol Nov 2017 #39

I said Perriello helped Northam. I like the guy and hope he runs for his House seat again. n/t FSogol Nov 2017 #56

It's great that Northam won, but there were points that were "divisive" in your OP Ken Burch Nov 2017 #54
