In reply to the discussion: And the hits just keep coming.... Bernie Sanders: The Model of the Democratic Party Is Failing [View all]frazzled
(18,402 posts)I had a post removed the other day (only my second or third over the 15 years I've been here). Maybe I got personal, maybe not. It was not some long diatribe, just a few sentences. But I really didn't feel it was anything more inflammatory than what I read here every day. I found it interesting that the criterion used was "don't bash Democratic figures." Note the capital D on Democratic. Well, I didn't criticize any "Democrat," but I'm not going to quibble that point.
Yes, we're seeing the return of the primary bullying. After years of seeing the Democratic figure of the President of the United States bashed repeatedly, suddenly the least criticism is now judged to be off limits. It's making me want to go really underground. But then that would be acceding to this kind of authoritarian one-think, and I kind of refuse to capitulate to it.
