Something I hate about Democrats
I am left of center. I am in the middle on abortion, want Universal Healthcare. favor decriminalize marijuana so I am no conservative, so am not trolling here. I hate the fact that Dems are for freedom of speech only when it suits them. Rhandi Rhodes slams Republicans all the time and she does it to Hillary she gets suspended? That is kinda kooky.

2. it's not political correctness that led to Randi's silencing, it's who she attacked
far more damaging than calling her a whore was saying Hillary would pull a Lieberman. That might have been too close to the truth to let spread.

3. Actually "democrats" had little or nothing...

to do with the suspension of Ms. Rhodes by the corporate masters of AAR.

There is certainly plenty of hypocrisy and dysfunction among democrats, but they, by and large, are paragons of virtue and probity compared to the denizens of the freep, occupying the rest of the political spectrum to the right(although wrong in most ways, ironically), politically speaking.

If you are referring to the Democratic Party, yes, many of their actions and activities are indefensible. They seem to be democratic primarily in name, not in structure or reality, only in vocabulary and when it suits and furthers their agenda.

We are all getting gamed by the so-called "two-party system". It is really now almost one big happy party with those controlling the Democratic Party beholden to the same corporate masters and media moguls that control the Rethug's Party.

We are doomed...

Doomed due to the ignorance, complacency and seeded confusion throughout the dumbed down USA populace of sheeple.

Much of DU is like hearing the voice of the innocent damned, crying out in the wilderness (or preaching to the choir)...

4. So you have come to a forum of Democrats in order to express your opinion

:hi:

Abide by the very simple, very reasonable rules of conduct and you can say whatever you want.

Most people get banned from DU because of how they behaved rather than what they said.

5. slackmaster
I am a independent voter and I see the hypocricy on the GOP side, but I see it on the Dem side as well.
