Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Refute Democratic Policy here! (but with facts)

I've pondered this thread overnite, and I still see it boiling down to a "Let's dump on the Democrats" thread.

I grant that it is a judgement call on my part not to allow it, but I think that it is better for the board if you deal with one issue at a time, rather than this sort of catch all thread which (in my experience so far modding) usually turns into a "and they stink too!" bitch and moan thread.

So again, if there are "questionable actions", be they some goofy reporter lobbing softballs to the president or some committee in California making political hay from the latest crisis there, then deal with that issue.

But threads that are essentially nothing but "Let's post all the shitty things you can think of about x party, post here" will continue to be closed.

So once again, thread closed.
