A reminder to good-faith DU users: [View all]

As we move into the summer and closer to the election season, discussions about explicit policy positions, polling and campaign strategy will take center stage here, (hopefully) nudging out a lot of the conspiracy theories, empty calorie spleen-venting and rec harvesting Temu-Tiedrich OPs that dominate GD, and we can get back to figuring out how best to get Democratic majorities and justice after this scorched-earth administration.

Hang in there and let rationality and critical thinking be the standard.
