So...what exactly counts as "bashing the party" or "attacking Democrats" these days? [View all]

I agree that no one should be personally maligned, that no oppressive language should be used towards anyone, that we should all treat each other with respect.

But it's beginning to look as though ANY questioning of what the party leadership does, ANY effort to hold Democratic officeholders accountable to progressive principles, ANY call for change within the party at all, is going to be called bashing or an attack.

Basically, I'd like to ask people what, as you see it, crosses the line between acceptable discussion and critique on the one hand(I assume everyone is open to at least SOME discussion and debate)and bashing or attacking.

It's not as though we make any sort of a comeback without discussing or changing anything, so can people at least lay out what you see the limits being on this?
