In reply to the discussion: So...what exactly counts as "bashing the party" or "attacking Democrats" these days? [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)It is simply your opinion that the ideas were rejected. If they were, there would not have been tons of them in the platform. Rejected ideas are never included in the platform.
The ideas are popular, are nothing but positive, can be shaped to recognize and address historic oppression.
I don't have to give up on the ideas to avoid trashing or refighting or relitigating or attacking.
If you don't like the ideas, it's enough that you have the ability to put me on ignore or to avoid the threads I start.
If I was disrespecting Hillary or other public figures, you might have call to act as you do. I don't.
If I was doing that to Hillary supporters, you'd have the the right to call me out for that. But I don't.
If I was advocating or defending third party voting, I could understand it. But I don't.
If I had anything whatsoever to do with JPR, I could see it then, too. But I don't
If I was saying our party was no different than the GOP, yes, then I actually might deserve what I get from you.
I've done none of those things and nothing close to any of those things.
I've simply advocated ideas you disagree with.
There is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing damaging in that. There is nothing meriting your relentless personal hostility in that.
Popular, progressive ideas are simply popular, progressive ideas.
The only ideas that are barred here are ideas that are violent, bigoted, antidemocratic(in the small-d) and anti-Democratic(in the large-D) sense. I don't post ideas like that, so you have no justification in trying to stop me posting.
