Can we stop the Hillary bashing until after the election?

I don't care how much you don't like Hillary, but Donald Trump will destroy our country if he's elected. Think of all the progress we made since Obama came into office, it will all be shattered if Trump becomes president. Please I urge everyone on this site to stop criticizing Hillary until November 9th.

I am not at all believing she was the best we could do, but compared to possible Russian sympathizer, she's George Washington! Hillary over Donnie, a million times over. Now, of course policy complaints can be griped about. Maybe youve seen some trolls who slipped in for a few hours.

If you have and it wasn't deleted by a jury, it wasn't judged to be against the DU rules.

It won't work 100% of the time because there is a chance of getting four people (out of 7) on a jury who are nitwits. But it will work a very high percentage of the time and the removed post count will mount up.

My understanding is that we are not allowed to "bash" Hillary and haven't been since June. Constructive criticism is allowed. Generally, the rule is that if the criticism is directed at helping her win it is allowed, if it is coming from people who do not want her to win it is forbidden.

I have not really seen any Hillary bashing here since at least the convention. Most of us who stayed after Bernie conceded were the ones who support Hillary in the general election.
