Yes, how dare any newbie express that they had a moral dilemma with one of our past candidates actions. Our candidates are perfect and never do wrong. And for that matter, the whole party is always doing everything right and should never be criticized either, even with the best intentions to make them improve and win more.

Oh...except for a past candidate that you don't like personally. For them its perpetual open season. Is that about right?

It depends on who "them" is. So hypothetically, yes. But realistically, no, we're not trying. KPN Jun 2018 #99
The shit sandwich they are currently being served isn't enough? RhodeIslandOne Jun 2018 #117
I agree about the ones who "aren't bothered by it". KPN Jun 2018 #202
The whole point is to vote for those who don't have an identical perspective... Garrett78 Jun 2018 #131
