(11,175 posts)Tell me which of these posts about a Democratic public official or party leader helps the GOP:
* S/he voted the wrong way on this bill.
* S/he made a regrettable nomination or appointment.
* S/he issued an executive order that was, on balance, good, but that will nevertheless have some bad consequences.
* S/he issued an executive order that was, on balance, bad.
* S/he said something with which the poster disagrees (post explains the basis for the disagreement but without calling the Democrat a fascist or the like).
* S/he missed an opportunity to take a bold progressive action that would have been good public policy and, by galvanizing the base, would also have been good politics.
* S/he receives significant financial support from Reprobates A, B, and C.
To my mind, none of these posts are ones that a DUer should automatically be ashamed of making. (Be ashamed if you get the facts wrong, etc., but don't reject the post just because it criticizes a Democrat.) Furthermore, none of them are posts that should be hidden on DU.
Your post leaves me uncertain whether you intend blanket condemnation of posts in any or all of these categories, which is why I'm seeking clarification.
