Think. Again.

2. Could you clarify...

....if you feel that the 2 examples in your post are acceptable or not acceptable?

I personally feel that the 2 examples you gave are NOT acceptable as they are only ways to get the negative message posted while covering the poster's a**·

I agree that at this point in time, we here at DU should not be accepting of messaging that includes negative (and usually false) context about our candidates and our party. It's late in the game, we're passed the point of arguing in favor of candidates or picking at minor differences, and we are AT the point where what matters most is to strongly promote a massive BLUE wave in November.

With you all the way. marble falls Mar 2024 #1

well, you're free to alert on those posts. mopinko Mar 2024 #33
In keeping with the rules, I try to minimize the posts I alert on. Think. Again. Mar 2024 #35
there's no rule about that. mopinko Mar 2024 #36
The last line in the alert box states:... Think. Again. Mar 2024 #38
and as long as u do that, you're fine. mopinko Mar 2024 #40
and so, as I mentioned, I try to minimize alerts. Think. Again. Mar 2024 #41

"Forwarned"? Are you saying that you're going to alert on any poll that doesn't look good for Biden? muriel_volestrangler Mar 2024 #5

Since you acknowledge that any DUer needn't give any fucks about another's opinion muriel_volestrangler Mar 2024 #17

I don't really think that it matters how good Biden is (and he is good) or how bad Trump is (and he is awful). Chainfire Mar 2024 #67
