In reply to the discussion: Ocasio-Cortez defends banning press from event: We wanted 'residents to feel safe' [View all]heaven05
(18,124 posts)precipitated the controversy by excluding the press during a political campaign event, an open 'town hall' no less? Who is stirring things up attacking other Democrats to puff up the agenda of a minor faction within our Party? Something is wrong here.
It is not the media stirring controversy or the Democrats criticizing what this minor faction continues to do to other Democrats, NATIONWIDE, is it? And promising not to ban the media again is akin to closing the barn door after the horse got out, I think. The damage is done. They got their factions point across. Socialist-democrats can do what they please during this political season and be damned the critics. As long as the general electorate realizes that this is just a minor faction of the big tent Democratic Party blowing a lot of unnecessary smoke and erecting mirrors to distract from not being that important. I just wish they would join us and not continue to tear us down as a Party.
