Of the three posts you cite, the two that actually accused Clinton of being a warmonger were from people who haven't posted here since 2016. The third post, by struggle4progress, merely reported Assange's accusation without endorsing it.

Here's the point: The reason that the vehemently anti-Clinton people haven't posted on DU about the Syria strike is that many of them were PPR'd or FFR'd long ago. Others have left in disgust because they know that any post that presents their views about Clinton will be quickly removed.

This is not a First Amendment issue. The site's admins have the right to implement whatever policies they want. It just means that you have to take the context into account before drawing inferences from the absence of posts on DU.
