Can a Party proclaim to be the “tolerant” “inclusive” “big tent” Party and then call for speech oppression?

[BrokeLoser]

It seems like feee speech would be paramount to tolerant folks running an inclusive coalition…no?
Isn’t it time to strip the Democrat Party of the labels they’ve given themselves?

The unprecedented campaign against free speech

Many on the left now seek to silence their opponents and reorder society in accordance with their personal beliefs.

Most Democrats believe in free speech and the First Amendment.

There are people on the right and left who'd outlaw free speech if they could.

I do believe that most registered democrats believe in Free Speech. I don't believe that those in power,
and liberal social media (both who wield the power) believe in Free Speech.
For example....is it the left, or right who wants to punish those they deem of spreading
misinformation?

True free speech threatens power.

Therefore, no organization, government, or person with real power supports true free speech.

from the piece>>>

By 2014, no fewer than 54 U.S. Senators - all Democrats or Democratic allies such as current presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) - supported a constitutional amendment essentially rewriting the First Amendment so that the federal government could regulate and criminalize free speech. Congressional Democrats are once again preparing to make a push to roll back the court's decision and stifle free speech.

Not to be outdone, leading Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has declared that she would only appoint judges who promise to overturn Citizens United and permit the censorship of political speech.

Who determines what "misinformation" is?
Who determines when an opinion becomes "misinformation"?
The assumption that people are unable to decide for themselves what they can listen to and believe/disbelieve is insulting.
Let's be honest here: this entire "misinformation" brouhaha is just political speech suppression.

Turn it 50/50 than. Instead of the 95/5 in favor of Progs now with Non Progs being destroyed. So, we can get some Non Progs on ESPN giving it back with the racial smackdowns. Most of the white people on those shows sound like Vichy surrender wusses who got heirs but gosh dang it must deny others for the cause. Get some people to start talking about the massive as kissing going on in sports to prove one is not a hater. White people are becoming educated in the fine speaking eloquence of everything non offensive with it changing and getting worse. it is almost comical to watch them not missing a verbal step in the wrongs of racial issues.

Always remember, Democrats are like the antichrist, everything they say is a lie. They say they are for thi children but they kill them by abortion and the ones that live they mentally molest with homosexuality and transgenderism.

They always accuse other of that which they themselves are guilty of, like racism and fascism.

Answer to question in the title: Yes. A party can proclaim anything they want whether it's true or not.

Speech may have consequences but nobody should champion the suppression of it….you know, like you and your people do.

Why is it now strongly recommended that the female (or undetermined gender) offspring of registered Democrats be named "Karen"?

We see this utterly mindless tribalism in this forum on a daily basis.

They have "progressed" so far, they have looped back to the most primitive mindset where they see the world as their own tribe vs the other tribe.
