thoroughly vet all of the Democratic primary candidates. If DU were a democracy the members would be making the rules, but it isn't a democracy so we have to abide with the TOS for better or worse.

P.S.: I'll probably be alerted for interfering with forum moderation by making those statements even though that isn't my intention. If the post is hidden, then I can only hope that the admins realize it is an objective critique and approve an appeal. I post a lot of threads at night that provide information and appear to be appreciated by a lot of members so they would be harming the Democratic party and their own site if I felt like I was no longer welcome here after eight years and over 70,000 posts. I would also miss the friendships that I've developed here during that time.
