All the rah-rah here about playing nice and supporting one of our sterling Democratic candidates -- and don't rattle anyone's cage by asking penetrating questions -- has me deeply disturbed. Some of the same "lockstep" mentality is at play here at DU as we criticize by the right-wingers, when we should be "in the streets," metaphorically speaking, holding the candidates to answer for more than hope and change. We're being very good Germans when we let the debates become meaningless blather, and when there is a Sunday school wagging of the finger here by frequent posters who admonish people not to say anything negative.

If there is no meaningful debate here at DU, we probably aren't going to find it elsewhere.
