Reply #90: Anti-Dem threads are counterproductive to preserving personal liberties

[saltpoint]

and preventing a further rightward tilt to the High Court.

And on and on.

This site does not care which candidates' supporters say what about anyone else, presumably in the interest of "free speech," a muddled position which suggests everyone who registers here has a vested interest in progressive politics and citizenship.

That is clearly not the case, yet registrants who are pro-Democratic have less a base here than registrants opting to slam and debase.

No editory I ever worked for in NYC would have been unable to wield a red pen. Those distinctions matter.

You've been a mod here for awhile. I've watched you be that reasoned & seasoned editor with the red pen, but generally Democrats are treated like dung on this site, and are so treated at the whimsey of anyone who wishes to post against them.

They become the cyber-syntax equivalent of road rage incidents. In a free land people are generally free to drive where they wish, but they are expected to follow posted speed limits and railroad crossing warnings, etc. in the interest of a greater public safety.

One might ask why that is so. To consider it counterproductive to our larger aims is to understate the obvious, IMO.
