4. What an excellent OP. I wish you wouldn't leave, but to be honest

I understand. Partisan forums are not the place to discuss ISSUES if the Party's chosen candidates look bad when we do so.

It's the reason why other kinds of political forums are on the rise now, while partisan forums are shrinking in membership.

It's sad because we SHOULD be able to discuss issues within our own party without being attacked etc especially when those issues are the ones our Party CLAIMS to support.

But it's a big world outside DU or other party supporting forums and people ARE discussing issues just about everywhere else.

People are not going to be silenced so maybe the politicos should wake up and start listening rather than silencing, or wake up in the not too distant future and wonder how they got it all so wrong.
