HuckleB
(35,773 posts)The fact that your post was hidden is nowhere near saying "you must adore Hillary." It simply indicates that your post was an attack without true substance, rather than actual criticism.

(39,961 posts)I'm not inclined to get into a gigantic mix up, but I don't think the comparisons are that far off of the mark. Opinions vary.
HuckleB
(35,773 posts)What's truly sad is that making such a ludicrous comparison is apparently considered an actual discussion point at DU in this era.

HuckleB
(35,773 posts)The fact that people have fallen for years of right wing propaganda, and now believe it as true, does not make it true.
Aerows
(39,961 posts)I respect your opinions on many things, HuckleB. You state them well. On this matter, though, we don't agree.

(20,805 posts)Not interested in arguing with someone who clearly doesn't know what they're taking about.

(20,805 posts)Where in the UK did you live during the Thatcher years?
and it is rather shocking that good, loyal Democrats don't see it. Sometimes you have to take off the shades and see what is actually going on at ground level.

(18,413 posts)That was your crime. The real problem is that you don't think it's a problem.
You are judging people that have been on DU for over a decade?
100+ posts in and you are judging DUers? Wow.

(42,641 posts)My understanding is that during the election campaign season, presumably from now until November, there will be no general criticism of Democratic candidates that can be seen as depressing the Democratic vote. SO there is some room for interpretation.
There is still criticism of particular ideas, such as the TPP, but posts advocating for a third party candidate (as a protest) or posts advocating voting for the GOP candidate are not allowed. And given that the point of the site is to promote Democratic candidates in a general election, that makes sense.
