(20,234 posts)lack of coherence on policy or social stands you are pointing out how undemocratic his positions are.
This calls into question the direction of the Democratic "leadership" and might imperil their quest for corporate donations.
We all know that every politicians' primary function is to get "contributions" to facilitate their reelection.
When you (or I) point out the inconsistencies and demand that the elected politician be responsible to the voters' concerns
you (and I) are interfering with the consolidation of the economic Royals control over political process.
The quickest way to short cut this obstruction by democratic principles is to say "He is better than RMoney".
That is why we are not allowed to discuss the real issues facing us.
If we did we would be forced to consider and implement real radical changes that threaten the established power base.
That is why Liberal (AKA forward looking) positions are to be shut down PDQ in favor of Conservative (established power sustaining)
Positions and discussions.
I hope this helps you understand the opposition to your request.
