And, this..

1. It all depends on how you do it.
Thoughtful discussions of Hillary Clinton's private email server and how it might affect the campaign: Fine.
Using Hillary Clinton's private email server as a club in order to beat her down: Not fine.

Cha
(297,486 posts)I do and haven't had any nightmares.
I am so glad, though.. that Skinner's doing this for the sake of our Candidate, Hillary Clinton, and for the sake of the Planet.
It's always nice when board called Democratic Underground supports the Democratic candidate for President and doesn't pump up ******* donald the racist turnip.. er, trump.
radical noodle
(8,010 posts)It's like watching a train wreck.
We need to start concentrating on Hillary's accomplishments, the good things she's done and how she can defeat Trump. Donald the racist turnip gave me a chuckle, though.
Cha
(297,486 posts)help myself. Charlie Pierce calls him the vulgar talking yam.
Oh we will have our Big Chance to put all of Hillary's accomplishments on full display once this thing gets going.. without any damn interruptions from the disruptors.. it will be awesome!

(5,052 posts)There is something left here after so many Hillary Clinton supporters have left to find discussion sites that are moderated to protect freedom of speech and also stop threats, name calling, and other forms of cyber bullying.
Cha
(297,486 posts)and she has the most negative covering from the m$m.. and trump.
But, Hillary has beaten them all.. BS LOST.

(3,284 posts)I'm guessing there will be more people who haven't felt comfortable expressing their support for either HRC or the Dem party under the current circumstances. It's impossible to have a rational, civil discussion about HRC without being verbally attacked, unless you're in this group. It'll be such a relief once we're past Jun 15.

1. I think a lot of people have the wrong idea, and are going to be disappointed.

We have no intention of purging anyone, and we have no intention of disallowing good-faith discussion of the issues. I think most people are going to be fine with that. But there are going to be a a few people (including both Hillary and Bernie supporters) who are going to be disappointed because the massive crackdown they have been hoping for does not come to pass.
Most people think the big change coming in general election season is that people on this website will need to stop bashing Hillary Clinton. Yes, that's part of it -- but it's not the only thing and it's definitely not the most important thing. The really big change coming in general election season is that people on this website will need to stop bashing each other.
Throughout this primary season we have been in a death spiral of declining standards. So we are going to institute some rules, and we will expect everyone to follow those rules, and we will expect everyone to enforce those rules when they serve on juries. The rules shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone -- they are mostly common sense, and they are basically the same rules we had for years when we had moderators: No personal attacks, no broad-brush group attacks, no bigotry, no right-wing smears or sources against Democrats, no advocating for spoilers or republicans, no meta-discussion, etc.
I am just so tired of people bashing each other and bashing Democrats on this website. I know the hardcore partisans will try to paint this whole thing through the Hillary vs Bernie lens, and drive that wedge as hard as they can, but that is just so not where I am at right now. I don't care who anyone has supported in the primaries -- I really don't. As long as you treat your fellow DU members with respect, stop tearing down Democratic public figures (including Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders and everyone else), and don't advocate for Donald Trump or some lost-cause third-party spoiler candidate, then you'll be fine.

"Throughout this primary season we have been in a death spiral of declining standards."
No, kidding! They're going to have to be looking @ a lot of jury decisions and who made them.
Mahalo, DesertRat!

(297,486 posts)time jurors.. you don't want your decision overturned on appeal because you were biased or didn't hide for an obvious infraction against TOS.
Mahalo, DesertRat

(31,849 posts)And we need to start attacking Trump sooner rather than later.
sarae
(3,284 posts)some people want to bash Clinton so badly that they're already trying to figure a way to do so under the new rules. I'm sure we'll see some creative ways of doing it once we're past June 15.
Speaking for myself, I have no desire to bash Bernie as long as he stops bashing Clinton & other Dems. Hopefully everyone's goal will be for the Dem nominee to win in November.
Cha
(297,486 posts)pretzels to keep bashing Hillary @ all costs.. it's evidently addictive.
Oh, I will stop bashing burnie when he stops bashing Hillary, President Obama, and all our beautiful Dem leaders.. I don't see that happening anytime soon.
teamster633
(2,029 posts)...how much could they continue to bash Hillary while staying just this side of the line? Pathetic.
Cha
(297,486 posts)bashing Hillary is their game.
LannyDeVaney
(1,033 posts)it's pretty clear NOTHING will change on June 15th.
Nothing. With every reply, Skinner softens his stance.
sarae
(3,284 posts)I'm assuming criticizing Bernie will be off limits, but it will still be open season on Clinton, under the guise of "constructive criticism."
What's the end goal? Why would you even want to stay on a "Democratic" website if you really want the Dems to lose in November?
hamsterjill
(15,223 posts)Back to some thoughtful and productive discussion, hopefully, minus the fear of being bashed just for supporting the (obvious) Democratic candidate!
