In reply to the discussion: Can DU members show concern about Hillary's narrowing poll lead without being called a troll? [View all]Fla Dem
(23,656 posts)54. No they don't. Where in the TOS does it say that?
Political
Support Democrats
Do not post support for Republicans or independent/third-party "spoiler" candidates. Do not state that you are not going to vote, or that you will write-in a candidate that is not on the ballot, or that you intend to vote for any candidate other than the official Democratic nominee in any general election where a Democrat is on the ballot. Do not post anything that smears Democrats generally, or that is intended to dissuade people from supporting the Democratic Party or its candidates. Don't argue there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Why we have this rule: Democratic Underground is an online community for politically liberal people who understand the importance of working together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of American government, and as such we expect our members to support and vote for Democrats at election time. Rare exceptions are granted at the sole discretion of the DU Administrators. (Current exceptions: None.)
Don't bash Democratic public figures
Do not post disrespectful nicknames, insults, or highly inflammatory attacks against any Democratic public figures. Do not post anything that could be construed as bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for any Democratic general election candidate, and do not compare any Democratic general election candidate unfavorably to their general election opponent(s).
Why we have this rule: Our forum members support and admire a wide variety of Democratic politicians and public figures. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but our members don't expect to see Democrats viciously denigrated on this website. This rule also applies to Independents who align themselves with Democrats (eg: Bernie Sanders).

OP
I love how it's "nasty" to ask that a person actually do something to help the Clinton campaign.

Thank you for providing an example of what I am talking about - a very nasty reply by you.

Again you lied about a DU member. You claimed I admit I do not volunteer for the campaign. LIE!

You are accusing people of things you have no proof of. Most of us are doing things that we don't

Is it possible that the problem is candidates tactics and policy positions rather than progressives

And some of those posts were from those who have publicly stated they won't vote

I think our media is SHIT. There are facts. The facts should be the stories.

I don't really understand it either and, hell, I even agree that some people are doing so

Is this is rhetorical question? Over the last month Clinton's line goes down and Trump's goes up.

Yes. People who just ignore the polls seem ignorant. However ignorance is bliss.

Since the intent is to make other DUers depressed, no quarter will be offered.
