I'm damn tired of rich people with ulterior motives trying to hijack the Democratic platform.

28. Apparently DU has been hacked again.

Somehow, the post I wrote has been caused to appear on your screen with a whole new paragraph added, one making it appear that I called for moving away from civil rights. Somebody should notify the admins.

Sarcasm aside: In one of the threads that prompted this OP, I've been berated for calling for single-payer health care. I suppose there are some who would say "You cannot be a liberal and disagree with single payer," as well as some who would say "You cannot be a liberal and support single payer." My response is "You cannot be a liberal and use the 'You cannot be a liberal' attack every time someone disagrees with you."

For any halfway plausible position you could mention, you could probably find someone advocating it. If you find someone advocating a move away from civil rights, address and rebut that argument by that person. The kind of vague innuendo that we're actually seeing, which attempts to blame progressives for the Trump presidency, is not helpful.
