(36,385 posts)Just like this thread. I've spotted a few folk in here insisting that those who don't walk in lockstep with them aren't real liberals who only a few days back were complaining in other threads that others attack them by telling them they're not a real liberal. I dunno. If they can't take it, don't dish it out.
Same with the claims that some mysterious evil group of DUers is trying to drive Hillary supporters and the friends of those complaining off the site. Then in the next breath they're complaining about how a bunch of DUers don't belong on DU because they'd decided that a whole bunch of DUers aren't Democrats, even though I've seen the folk they throw this at pointing out that they vote for the Democratic candidate in elections. btw, I've never been a Democrat and never will be one. I can't be. Where I live I split my vote between Labor and the Greens and even though I support and vote for them I criticise them when I don't agree with them. Anyone who treats the political parties and politicians they support as being above criticism needs to toughen up and suck it up. Unless their supporters object to policies and decisions that they don't agree with, there's no chance of change coming from within...
