Reply #498: DU does not allow criticism of Democrats [View All]

[Anita Garcia]

DU members can not post opinions in favor of a non-Democrat running against an elected Democrat.
That's the OP.
That's the rule.
I live in a country with lots of rules/laws that I do not agree with and wish were different.
I do not apologize to my neighbor for the making of those laws, nor do I apologize to my neighbor for attacking those laws.
However, I will support my neighbor's right to change those laws that I find offensive to the spirit of free speech and the right to petition the government.
This is not a democratic society.
This is not underground.
It is only a virtual discussion board with rules regarding what type of discussion will and will not be allowed.
Limitations on the CONTENT of the discussion allowed renders it non-democratic.
Why would a member of DU be offended by my calling DU non-democratic?
