[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else familiar with the Blue Virginia account/blog?

I signed onto it because I was a typical Democrat and follow local politics - and sometimes it is still a good source of early information.

But overall I find that the account/blog push me further to the center/right simply because the personal attacks on anyone who doesn’t align with BV’s progressive brand are so intense.

I guess it makes me old school, because I always subscribed to the view that you could disagree with people on matters on policy but still respect them as individuals. BV’s scorched-earth approach is to demonize anyone with whom they disagree in strongly personal terms.

I know - no one forces me or anyone else to read it. And I don’t want to overstate the effect it has on my political views, which remain left-of-center nationally. Just curious as to whether others have a similar reaction.  [/quote]

Wow, they are pushing you right? Because the right is so civilized and never resorts to personal attacks? Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Ron DeSantis, Matt Gaetz and of course, Mr. Civility himself, Donald Trump, the leader of the Republican Party, who attacks people daily. I think today it was Jack Smith that was attacked. But it is also possible he called women dogs or nasty. Or called Biden senile. Or the list goes on. Give me a break.[/quote]
