I take that to mean that folks can discuss how the candidates, and Democrats differ on the issues, but in a respectful way.

a "hair trigger" unless it's freaking obvious. there are many BS fans who came into our group and offered to self-delete so they wouldn't be blocked and we let them.

But, we don't have any patience with sanders supporters coming into our Hillary group.. you have the whole rest of the board to QUESTION my preferred candidate. It's for Hillary Supporters. Don't see why you all can't wrap your head around that.

The BS group blocks anyone in a NY second too.. who is not a supporter or even those who are who do not meet their standards.

Again, this is our SOP here.. NO bashing.

"A place where loyal Democrats can support our party, our candidates, and our elected officials, in a positive environment. No in-fighting or bashing."

This group will be different than gdp.. because there will be no Hillary bashing.. no bashing of any kind.

They'll both be great hosts. Like Cary has said, let's make this work. We're all Democrats, we all want a Democrat in the White House and many in the Senate and House, as well as Governors and state legislatures. Whatever happens in the primary, it's vital for the country that a Democrat is elected. We all know what happens when Republicans are in charge; they're no longer interested in governing. Many hate government and try to undermine it at every turn.

We may disagree on candidates, but I want to believe we all want what's best for the country. And that means, Democrats in government.
