42. As a Hillary supporter, I'll answer your questions.
It's perfectly ok to post your opinion about primary candidates, as long as you do it in GD-P. Articles and editorials might be better posted in the forum reserved for them.

"Presenting article after article" sounds a little like spamming, which is against DU rules. It clogs up the boards to post the same thing over and over again. Also, if you are truly posting links to articles, the better place for this is the "Editorials" forum.

If you are linking to articles from right-wing or questionable sources, your threads will be locked and you will get a reputation as a possible troll. While no source is 100% reliable, there are lots of extremely biased right-wing sites, and it's against DU rules to link to them. If you have had posts deleted or threads locked because of that, take it seriously and stop linking to those sites.

This is a discussion board. The purpose is to discuss, read, reflect, persuade, and engage in conversation. If your purpose is to hammer away that "Hillary is as progressive as my chain saw" and you aren't willing to engage in discussion with others, you're probably in the wrong place.

I chose to support Hillary Clinton after my first, second, and third choices dropped out. I have no illusions about her positions. I happen to think that she is a better choice than Obama, although I'll gladly vote for him if he's the nominee. Your posting thread after thread linking to articles calling Hillary names is not going to change my mind, and will tend to harden my position against her opponent. Just my two cents.
