As more and more Democrats express their concerns about Biden's mental state a DUmmy has thrown down the gauntlet:

From now on, I'm considering ALL negative posts and polls about President Biden as not supporting Democrats.
Yes, that's right, unless you are giving context as to why this ****ing negative kkkrap is on DU.
For example: "This negative poll about President Biden makes me sick and I hate it!!" Or, "Take a look at this horrible poll, what can we do to make these numbers better for President Biden and the Democratic party?"
And furthermore, it's Democrat with a capital "D" and also it is not the democrat party. It's the Democratic party.
Rant over. But, forwarned is fairwarned.
Every sentence in this post is comical:
"From now on, I'm considering ALL negative posts and polls about President Biden as not supporting Democrats." Starts out with a threat that posts that don't glorify Biden are violations of DU's TOSs and grounds for getting banned.
"Yes, that's right, unless you are giving context as to why this ****ing negative kkkrap is on DU." Follows up with the obligatory KKK reference, because everyone I don't agree with is Hitler.
"For example: "This negative poll about President Biden makes me sick and I hate it!!" Or, "Take a look at this horrible poll, what can we do to make these
numbers better for President Biden and the Democratic party?" Adds that any negative press about Biden must be twisted in a manner that DUmmies might find it palatable. They do love to distort facts.
"And furthermore, it's Democrat with a capital "D" and also it is not the democrat party. It's the Democratic party." LOL. They do hate the whole Democrat vs. Democratic thing. I'm always amazed how something that minor causes so much angst.
"Rant over. But, forwarned is fairwarned." Scary final sentence. Like we are all being threatened. Would have been better if they knew how to spell "forewarned" and knew that "fairwarned" isn't a
real word.
First response immediately falls into line:

1. With you all the way.
Second post is confused. They don't want even a hint of Biden criticism to be allowed.

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.
More hive-mind.

I'll be blocking any concern trolls as well.

15. I'm with you.
I absolutely cannot stand when the repukes do the whole ‘democrat party’ thing. It’s stupid and childish, and of course, that’s why they do it. Stupid and childish are kind of their brief.
How ironic that he talks about stupid and childish in the same post that he refers to Republicans as "repukes". I never realized that misusing the word Democrat was so bothersome until I saw posts about it on DU. I'm always amused by how stressed they get over things that most people don't even notice. And, for the record, referring to Republicans as "repukes" doesn't even raise most eyebrows. Because we know how stupid and childish they are.
And the thread goes on and on, but admittedly with at least a few dissenters. But I have to wonder if this isn't a precursor to a purge similar to what happened in 2016 during the Bernie-Hillary wars that occurred over there. Skinner and the rest of the brain-trust over there have set up a system where posters can ban each other willy-nilly. And they have turned a blind eye to the inherent abuse of the system they created. In 2016 they purged hundreds (if not thousands) of members when just about everyone was alerting on just about every post. Is EarlG smart enough to recognize how that impacted his revenue? I wonder if he regrets buying the site from Skinner, who, maybe, saw the writing on the wall. EarlG mentioned last month that DU wasn't doing great financially. Between Biden's incompetence and the divisions being created by the situation in Gaza he might not have more than a couple dozen contributing members by the end of the year. And, of course, the most important question is, "If all the contributing members are banned or quit, who is going to buy my mole his star next year?".
