I thought Democrats could handle dissent... angstlessk Jul 2016 #14

"Dissent" implies participation within a discussion. Shouting down anyone you don't like? BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #22

Dissent takes many forms...not just in debating societies angstlessk Jul 2016 #28

Every society that has died, died as a result of some kind of dissent. It's agreement that keeps BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #34
