What happens when the presumed Democratic front runner, Hillary, violates the DU ToS by snuggling up to the Republicans and adopts some of their policies in order to get votes in the general?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=termsofservice

Don't be a wingnut (right-wing or extreme-fringe).

Democratic Underground is an online community for politically liberal people who understand the importance of working within the system to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of political office. Teabaggers, Neo-cons, Dittoheads, Paulites, Freepers, Birthers, and right-wingers in general are not welcome here. Neither are certain extreme-fringe left-wingers, including advocates of violent political/social change, hard-line communists, terrorist-apologists, America-haters, kooks, crackpots, LaRouchies, and the like.

Vote for Democrats.
Winning elections is important — therefore, advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground. 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.

I don't see it. I'm not for HRC and I don't see the suggested TOS violation.

Thanks for your help.

Seem like Dem politicians frequently get money from donors who also give to R's.

Can we say double standard.

In the present Corptocracy, what does it really mean to be labeled a D or R?

The money all comes from the same sources - the 1%.

To this Citizen, the labels mean less and less everyday.

But that's just my humble opinion.

I know Skinner perhaps better than you. I have worked with him, being a Moderator on DU2, and with MIRT on DU3.

I believe him to be an honorable man, one not given to holding grudges or banning members on a whim.

She held firm when negotiating with Bush on 9-11 , she brought New York 20 billion, then and only then was it OK to vote for War.
