Why does Daily Kos allow less Hillary-hate diaries than DU? [View all]

Back in 2008, and even thru the years, the Clintons weren't the most popular people on Daily Kos. "Neocon," "corporatists," and "scandals" and "myths" (like the Perot-myth) were commonplace around there, and still sometimes are, EXCEPT that looking at the diaries about them there, I see, thankfully, nothing about the email "scandal," "Hillary took from private prisons," or Clinton Foundation complaints.

I use DU because in 2008 up to the start of primary season, DU was more fair to Clintonites, and moderate viewpoints on other issues. I also stay away from DKos because sometimes the diaries on other issues are rather extreme. But why is Kos taking the lead on disallowing and not enabling the GOP for 2016? Why is DU allowing email-"scandal" diaries, and then people even bringing up Whitewater, File/Travel "gates" (for purposes other than pointing out the BS behind them being "scandals?&quot

Why is this site enabling the GOP by allowing diaries on the email non-scandal, or the private prisons crap? The jury system seems to be mob rule with regard to this. You literally need to post Monica videos to get unhelpful comments hidden. If we wanna prevent the GOP from winning, we cannot let them point to a Democratic (not socialist or green) blog and say "liberals 'admit' it too." We cannot allow other progressives who are looking for a blog to expose themselves to things likely to keep them home in November 2016.

Everytime someone reports hateful comments, the jury comments are always "its primary season, get over it." That is mob rule, the kind of thing that could elect Donald Trump or John E. Bush as president.

Its ok to support Sanders, O'Malley, Biden, whoever, just as opposing them is also OK. But it is not OK to use cooked-up "scandals" like the email bit, Whitewater, private prisons, or CF attacks. Ever!

Yes, I know I've been here for whatever time I have, but I honour and revere Democratic heroes like the Clintons. We are Democratic, not "socialist" Underground, so no matter your tenure, if you smear Democratic Heroes, you're hurting the cause.
