People don't get banned from DU or other liberal message boards for discussing the drone strikes, as they would for being opposed to actions or policies of the right on RW message boards. We are permitted discussion about and anger at our leadership among those who identify as liberal or Democratic Party. The only discussion opposing Bush that I heard from right wingers was that his policies weren't far enough right, as in hate-mongering and war-mongering.

I will never cast a vote or neglect to cast one that could help a right winger get into office, that will include voting for my blue dog Congressman yet again among others, but our choices have been limited by the right wing domination of the media to the point that keeping the worst evil at bay right now may be all we can do. And I really feel that the worst evil is represented by today's Republican Party.
