It's time for this destructive meme about shutting up during elections to stop,

[Hydra]

91. Skinner had to address this at one point(or more than one? I only saw one of them)

And he acknowledged that the political climate(The White House) was forcing a split between the people who were loyal to the colors vs. the people who were loyal to the ideals.

The unrec coming and going was a symptom of that.

He basically acknowledged that the situation was creating a problem in more than one way. Almost of us will vote Dem, and are attempting to get Dems elected. I'm not happy with Obama's first 4 years, and I'm not happy with his current platform, but I happily tell anyone who tells me that they will vote for Romney that he's a welfare queen, liar and he'll raise their taxes.

The silencers would happily not have my help. I may not convince many, but if I can use facts to stop even just 3 people from voting for Romney, I've made a difference 3x bigger than just my vote alone. They would happily not have that help(and maybe lose) in order to have no criticisms of bad policies.

I think Skinner made the right call to allow critics like me to stay. If we can't have an honest discussion here, he may as well go to the DNC and have them sponsor this site as a campaign outlet.
