In reply to the discussion: Pro-Bernie Sanders posts to be banned on DU before Democratic Party has a candidate for President? [View all]democrattotheend
(11,605 posts)We have a really great candidate, and yet you wouldn't know it from some of his supporters here. For every pro-Bernie post I see at least 3 anti-Hillary posts and it's frustrating. Bernie is a unique and inspiring candidate and has a great message that I think gets lost here when people on our side litter the forum with anti-Hillary threads, especially the crap from right wing sources, much of which is a rerun of right wing crap from 20 years ago.
That said, I would like to know what exactly constitutes "anti-Hillary". I remember 8 years ago constructive criticism of Obama was allowed even after the switch.
For example, will it be okay to say that she is not handling the e-mail issue well, and to point out that her tendency to be secretive has hurt her a lot over the years because it makes it look like she has something to hide when she probably doesn't? Is it okay to express concern about her views on foreign policy and military engagements?
