Time for decision

Is this site here to promote Democrats or not? I just departed from a 💩 post advocating formation of a new political party, since the Democrats are so damn disappointing to this individual. I refuse to participate on a board where such things are allowed to fly. I will make my decision to stay or go based on how poaching and spreading discontent are addressed today.

It’s easily found, however, by glancing at the posts in GD and finding a title suggesting a new political party by poaching Democrats. If you’re truly interested, you’ll find it.

"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in politics, I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all." --Thomas Jefferson

I have the eccentric idea that my vote belongs to me to user (or not use) as I please. We no longer register by party in my state which reinforces the idea of democracy and liberty.

8. If you think we can't critique and criticize our party here, you'd be wrong

This is the place we SHOULD be doing it, here amongst ourselves. If the only thing we were allowed to do here is cheerlead, then it would be a really boring place.
