(5,046 posts)but as an illustrative example I had a post pulled which literally just said I don't think the camera angles in the debate made Joe lose his train of thought. And I had posts pulled that were literally just reporting polling that showed Joe behind.
I'm not saying every post that was pulled wasn't in violation of the ToS but it was very obvious, particularly the first few days after the debate, that any post that even acknowledged the reality of a poor debate performance was being pulled for "bashing Dems".
That's what I mean when I say we need to create an environment where we can have a discussion that starts in the reality of what people have actually seen and experienced with their own eyes and that Democrats of good faith can take different views on that. If we don't have that, then what is the point?
Trolling and propaganda makes it really difficult but I'm hoping we can use this experience to move forward and engage on a more civil footing even where we have disagreements.
