If you point out differences between your record and someone else's and their record is negative, I guess you could consider that, "going negative", but that's the entire point of a primary so w/e.

So, apparently when every centrist says Medicare for All doesn't work they're going negative.

It's OK when a rose-wielding dem soc does it. Otherwise bad.

No, not really. I'd rather just talk about the differences without being negative about it at all. I'm not a Mayor Pete fan but some of his ideas on Health Care I'm relatively comfortable with if they address the inherent gaps in the ramp up methodology he's using.

The other candidates are proposing bad unworkable ideas, therefore trashing those ideas is good. Trashing good ideas is not good. Glad we cleared this up! ;)

If I point out that Dump has been impeached that is "negative campaigning"?

Yeah I don’t understand how this is getting twisted.

Traditional negative campaigning is when they say, “candidate X hates children and wants to force you to only eat soup!” because they voted against the bill that would’ve reduced restrictions on dumping nuclear waste, but included a Children Are Great! rider, and later voted to make February 2nd National Soup Day.

Seems to me these East Coast washouts aren't taxed enough and have too much time on their hands...

Insinuating nefarious intent without any evidence is negative campaigning. Most campaigns do it of course, but it is what it is. For example, Lizzy Warren attacked Buttigieg over some fund raiser in a wine cave during the last debate. While I get her point, the inference was that either Buttigieg is a fat cat, or he's going to be influenced by fat cat donors. That's a negative attack IMHO despite my preference for the candidate who made it.

I won't point out what a shady candidate my opponent is. I'm above that. I'm here to talk about what I will and won't do. What I won't do is pander to the rich, bow down to the lobbies, etc, like s/he would, I can tell you that much.

That's fine, but people are tired of hearing that from so many who don't live up to the promise. At a minimum, they have to specify policies or legislation they will or have supported or oppose on those subjects. While that may be a little to wonky for the average voter with a 5-second attention span, generalizations on those subjects wont distinguish one panderer from another.
