This is how the Republic dies?

OMG, I find that some diaries are limited to those who have "joined" a political group on DU, It's no longer enough for me to declare party loyalty to comment?

Ask the administrators, don't ask me why or to explain that "for the good of...."

My comment is rhetorical

primary today, I would vote for:

declared a preference for the primaries.

BUT if you saw a post in a journal that comes from one of the candidate-specific groups, then yes, you'd have to follow the rules and join that particular candidate group if you wanted to comment on it.

We have posts in forums here on DU. You can post in any forum here. Some Groups are closed during the primary season, but few people read those Groups. Pretty much only people who favor a candidate ever bother to visit them.

Post in Democratic Primaries if the primaries are your topic. Or in General Discussion if you have a general comment. People mostly visit those two main forums on DU.
