re: #60 HappyWarrior

And if there’s just praise and silence, we don’t get the best possible candidate. I’m not saying we resort to name calling but we have every right to speak critically of the candidates. They’re not all alike. Offer praise when praise is deserved, Warren has definitely for example earned my praise for how she talked about infant mortality and Beto earned it by acknowledging why we need mental health coverage as well as health coverage. I really think you’re taking my word criticism way too hrashly here.

Criticism means two things: Unwarranted personal attacks, and reasoned critique.

Questioning how Elizabeth Warren might bring about her tax proposals, whether they would work as she describes, and asking for more information is constructive criticism.

Calling her Pocahontas as a racist slur is racist criticism. We can leave the racism to the conservatives and have constructive criticism to build better plans and platforms.
