General Discussion

I regularly wrote letters to the editor of my local Magat newspaper. The editor called me his "commie pinko buddy." I didn't give a shit what he called me I kept refuting the nonsense that the Magats wrote letters were spewing. There were only 3 or 4 Democrats who had the guts to write letters and the usual way we were attacked was by name calling.

I eventually walked into the newspaper office and told the editor I was not renewing my subscription to his paper because he would edit my letters, even change the headline of my article to suit him.

All they have is name calling and putting labels on people, it's the actions the people are taking that matters.

FDR was and still is called every name in the book by Magats, So What?

I support Democrats.

I tried to point out the danger of pitting moderate Dems v progressive Dems but my voice was silenced.

Stop putting purity tests on Democrats, stop saying a progressive can't win here, or a moderate can't win here, or a progressive can only win in a deep blue district. People who are doing this are the problem.

My purity test for nominees is the best fighter.

Silence me again for speaking the truth. Let the people decide who they want to represent them.
