In reply to the discussion: Has the banning of dkf made you more reluctant to criticize certain things on DU? [View all]questionseverything
(9,646 posts)being pretty new here,i have been amazed at how much of the discussion centers itself around personalities and perceived popularity
i believe the democratic party is the only hope the 99% have for any representation and if we are to be the party that helps the 99 then we need to listen to ALL of them,,,,with 319 million plus included in that 99 we are gonna have some big differences in opinion so i do not see how banning them helps us
i guess i was raised different than most as i was encouraged to look at both sides ...the rw talking points article you mentioned/ i would of loved debating that,could of played devils advocate for either side because that was how i was encouraged to think,with every talking point there is a grain of truth that generally gets twisted to fit the presenters veiwpoint ,the twisting should not be a reason to ignore that grain
coming in january the price of milk will be artificially inflated to double its current price unless we get a farm bill to fix it,to me nothing else is as important as that right now because it will impact every family in our country and the health of every child but no one here at du seems interested in that but this is like the 4th huge thread on someone getting banned
wether the banned person was a troll,paid blogger or not,they are still part of the 99 (therefore a dem,wether they know it or not)
