Democratic Drug Den

[Rev. Rye]

Having mentioned it as part of the title does somewhat imply that you think there's a connection. However, it seems you pulled that from the headline of the news article you shared, which is a logical thing to do when you share a news item.

I'm not seeing ED make the connection between being a Democrat and being a piece of shit who tries to kill people with meth, so it's a bit of strawman to argue that Democrats aren't all like this guy. It's fine to mention, but it doesn't refute ED because he didn't take that position.

To be honest, "Democratic drug den" is a clear and unambiguous implication that the drug den is either endorsed by the Democrat party or as a result of Democrat policy.  It is way different in tone and content from the title of the article: "Democratic donor Ed Buck charged with a felony for running a drug den", which has problems of implication by itself.

If Egodeath doesn't want to be seen to make a statement that this kind of action is as a result of official Democrat actions, he should change the title (or get a mod to change it if he can't).  I would say that this is a clear violation of the rule on thread titles, as it is a clear and obvious slur on the Democrat party as a whole, implying they either engage or authorise illegal behaviour.

So, "Democratic Donor's Drug Den" would probably be a more neutral way of putting it. Not perfect, but given that Ed Buck was most well-known as a political activist who worked with Democrats, it's admittedly an understandable flaw, and a bit less misleading.

That said, I doubt Ego could change it if he wanted to, for one simple reason:
