2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I would like to remind the more outspoken and angry of this..... [View all]LWolf
(46,179 posts)It's primary season.
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. In Democratic primaries, members may support whomever they choose.
For presidential contests, election season begins when both major-party nominees become clear. Campaigning for one primary candidate, and against others, is NOT "depressing turnout."
FWIW, so far, this primary campaign is all rainbows and unicorns in comparison to '08, where supposed Democrats actually divided along racial and gender lines and used those lines to campaign against each other. That was a Democratic humiliation of the first order.
I would also like to remind you that these "reminders" about the TOS are posted continuously throughout the year, every time someone with thin skin can't take a Democrat being criticized, and every time an elected Democrat says or does something un-Democratic.
I sincerely doubt that anyone reading this forum is not aware of the TOS.
