(11,767 posts)I hope that my responses have not been offensive to you. I certainly don't mean to attack or call you out personally or engage in that kind of argument. If my words have made you feel upset or put upon, I sincerely apologize.
I actually think that we can have disagreements with policies and decisions made by our representatives. I think that we can voice our concerns with Democratic politicians and allies that affiliate with the party. I think we can have discussions about slogans, policies, one wing, or the other, or the center of the party. We are not all of one mind.
I also see that there have been people who are okay to criticize and those who, when criticized, raise the hackles of DUers. I would rather have a good faith disagreement with someone, than feel like I can't say something for fear of being banned or ostracized, and in doing such, have to remain silent or support something that I do not.
I hope to continue conversations in the future.
