87. Before I donate (again)...will I be allowed to criticize Hillary Clinton?

Mon Nov 7, 2016, 12:25 PM

Nov 2016

She will make mistakes as President, and I would like to be able to voice my disapproval and suggestions for policies that I might prefer (without bashing her). I anticipate that most of her actions will be great, but not all will be.

I am fortunate to be surrounded by liberals in my everyday life, so I don't come here for solace, I come here to discuss politics with fellow political junkies.

If even-handed discussion of the Clinton administration won't be encouraged here, then it may be time to seek out another, less polarized site (if one still exists).

It's your site, and clearly you can run it how you want, but I'd just like some clarification before I invest.

Thank you.
