Jan 2017

But this is all open to interpretation.

What about this period of re-evaluating the Democratic party and re-examining its past directions to develop new strategies. The Clintons and their 'triangulation' idea have been very influential in the direction of the party for a couple of decades now. Obama tried his best to continue that. So I hope we can still talk about this, out of the context of the primaries of course.

I guess the question boils down to..What if I or someone else is critical of the Clintons influence, in order to help develop better directions for the party, without a past Hillary supporter alerting on an OP or post because they took it as a personal insult towards Hillary? And more important, would that post/OP be verboten?
