(62,325 posts)we used to expect from Progressives, even for people who did not share our political views.
Kudos to Willy for his decency. Most of us had huge differences of opinion with DFK who seemed to me to definitely have some right wing views. Some of those now dancing on her/his grave didn't have much problem with her/his mostly Right Wing Economic views eg.
Nothing changed with dfk from my memory, she drove Progressives, like me, crazy with her views on eg, SS.
That is not what got her banned, her OP on SS the other day eg. I didn't see much outrage over that, because there are those here who actually agree with those views. THAT if anything, should have been a reason to say goodbye to her. But it never was.
I'm not sure what finally did it, but regardless, she made her points, outrageously right wing as many of them were, especially on SS eg, without personal attacks.
And Willy is right, he is a Progressive and has the strength to show human compassion and that to me anyhow, shines compared to the mocking and joking and piling on behavior that doesn't represent progressive ideals at all.
