I was browsing through some websites and came across “Reminder: WikiLeaks Revealed The Deliberate Construction Of A Liberal ‘Echo Chamber’ “ by Caitlin Johnstone, posted on Newslogue. I read it, then checked out the mentioned e-mail. The attachments are enlightening.
I probably have not done sufficient vetting to confirm the implications, but I think that the attachments should be part of the bubbling grassroots reconstruction of the Democrat party. We need to be aware of … issues that will… color our roots and narrative.
This is NOT a call for name-calling or character-defaming. What was done in the past is part of our history. This IS a call for discussion and consideration. We need to decide how we address the described aspects of Democrat policy and whether we include them going forward. To borrow from and paraphrase some gun advocates, the described means are tools — it is the intent of the users when those tools are used that matters most.
So, going forward: What is our intent? How much transparency of our processes are we going to include? Will we draw any lines? (Hopefully, deliberate lies will be one of our lines that we will not cross.) What tools will we use?
