why DU made this rule. If we can’t vent about what we see our Democratic partners aren’t doing for us, within our own , and I find it sad. I never believed republicans need our ideas to decide how to attack us.

I got in big trouble here once, just for telling DUers about a candidate who had a 300 million war chest, to stop donating to her. She wasn’t going to win. I got in trouble, but I just wanted to save us regular earning people their money, or give to money to our Georgia candidates. Or keep it in your pocket. Since I’ve been here so long, and people understood why I was doing it, I’m still here.

I understand you, and I love this place, but the censorship on this topic, when it’s something we need to discuss is silly. One day, if we have a guideline, we can.

I share your frustration and I am at a loss to understand ... hlthe2b Sep 2021 #1
