3. Something for Skinner to answer, I guess...

May 2016

Although I will say there is a fine line between criticism and:

1. Outright intentional sabotage of the campaign

2. Smears/Nutbar conspiracies

3. Linking to anti-Hillary pieces from certified loons and InfoWars/Daily Caller, etc.

4. Discouraging people to get out and vote because the situation is so 'hopeless' and 'both candidates are the same' (Note: I've see this every cycle since '04, and every cycle some prominent DUers get the banhammer because of it)

5. Floating the "President Trump may not be so bad, especially if it destroys the Democratic Party so we can create something new from the ruins!" bullshit...

6. Cheerleading for a Hillary indictment
