Why is so much effort being spent defending a Nazi symbol?

238. I'll venture a guess.

In doing so, I do not intend to be in favor or disfavor of the post you responded to, the OP, or any of the many, many response here.

During the primary seasons I have been on this forum for, there have been numerous heated debates on which candidate(s) people support or oppose. Having been a fucking asshole myself a few times long ago in such discussions, I think I have a grasp of the rules, though others may disagree. I think it is good and proper to discuss what candidate one prefers -- no problem there. It's when one focuses extreme negative attention for one candidate -- perhaps especially if she/he appears the likely candidate to win the primary -- that might be an issue.

Again, I don't claim I have ever been, or am not, perfect in this type of thing. Unlike everyone else in this community, I have to be around me 24/7, and put up with my nonsense. Add to that the fact that no human being has ever mistaken me for smart, much less intelligent. But as dull-witted as I am, I know for a fact -- with zero chance of error -- that the Democratic Party does not have the luxury of in-fighting that is potentially damaging. We need to win big in November.
