No indictment, but how do Democrats deal with this:

271. I think it should be constricted in that way.

Whether or not it was applied consistently is irrelevant. That's like the arguments my friends make that they think that Trump will secretly support my gay marriage. If you have the rule, you have the rule, and it's a ridiculous rule. And the site also makes it clear that it supports Sanders as the candidate. I'm surprise they even allow the Jill Stein posts.

If the goal is to get Democrats elected, allowing the plethora of "I hope Bernie runs third party" posts that dominate so much of the discourse over at JPR on this site runs entirely counter to the message of "Democratic" Underground, Democratic Sideways, Democratic Mountaintop, or any other variation of a site dedicated to Democrats.

And frankly, I and many other Hillary supporters were alert-stalked on this website constantly when 80% of the site were Bernie supporters and controlled the jury system. I was FFR for weeks. And I think anyone defending WillyH for his racist behavior should perhaps analyze what they find acceptable in political discourse. I don't believe that he should be given a platform here or anywhere else.

As for the loss to DU, it's not a loss to DU because their naysaying provides both reporters and pundits fodder for negative stories about our candidate and I am reticent to even say that in this post because of that potential. I have been in the public eye for over a decade. I can say with confidence that it's a bad idea to have a free-for-all on any message board if you're trying to direct a narrative, and the narrative of this site is to get Democrats elected.

There is a point to where people should just realize they lost. I thought the PUMAs were nuts eight years ago and I was a Hillary supporter then too. This just takes it to a whole new ridiculous level. It's like they're not even aware of how crazy they sound over there.
