Only half of Americans own stocks, and 84 percent of all stocks are held by just 10%

[A HERETIC I AM]

21. I've been on the road all day and only just saw this thread a short while ago.....

But Progree is absolutely correct. This is not the group for promoting one political candidate over another.

As host of this group, had I seen your OP earlier in the day, I would have messaged you privately and asked you to kindly reword your OP. I would have considered locking it earlier in the day had you not done so, but by now I feel the conversation has evolved to offer some value to the readership over and above your expressed political sentiment.

As I said in this thread from December of 2018, when I requested and was granted Host responsibilities, I do not want to be heavy handed in any way whatsoever in moderating the content here. And for what it’s worth, I have written exactly ONE PM to a member in all of that time, asking them to reword their OP and I have not locked a single thread. That individual deleted the thread on their own.

For the most part, the folks that participate in this group keep their OP’s strictly to the point, and I think that is important so that this tiny little back corner of DU stays free of acrimony and controversy, offers honest, straightforward, ACCURATE information, as free from bias as possible and focuses on the subject matter at hand.

I’ll let this go because, as I said, it has evolved to offer some value, I feel. Having said that, I would ask that in the future OP’s are composed in such a way as to avoid specific endorsements of candidates as well any direct recommendations to purchase securities.
