I think it speaks pretty poorly of someone that resists all criticisms of their leaders. Perhaps anyone feeling that way should just move to N. Korea and enjoy the universal love for "Dear Leader" there if they can't abide criticism from party members that want the party to be better.

Terms of Service say "But that does not mean that DU members are required to always be completely supportive of Democrats. During the ups-and-downs of politics and policy-making, it is perfectly normal to have mixed feelings about the Democratic officials we worked hard to help elect. When we are not in the heat of election season, members are permitted to post strong criticism or disappointment with our Democratic elected officials, or to express ambivalence about voting for them.
